    84 306 runs rich and skips

    Sounds also like you may not be getting enough fuel, if its bogging down and shutting off only when you stomp it? Metering blocks may be stopped up. And to see what your timing is, bring #1 cylinder to TDC on the compression stroke and once it gets there, you need to look at where your timing...

    what to do with engine, tran ?????

    i'd keep it dude, if its payed off and in good condition, why sell it? Keep it for a rainy day, i keep everything i take off my car weather its stock or not. I now have a garage full of parts, i hardly ever have to buy anything. Hell, if i got another 5.0 i could probabally put all the parts i...

    planning a 347 build

    Might seem like a minor issue, but use some low tension rings. You wont have compression issues, but it'll free up some hp. Horse power is all in the small details...

    cheapest brand new t-5

    Do your self a favor and drop a couple hundred more bucks and get you a Tremec, T-5's are junk if you want to build some decent hp and not worry about breaking it.

    how to change pickup coil!?

    I think a reman. dizzy is only about 90 bucks after the core charge..not to sure about that though, i replaced the one in my friends 95 and there was tons of play in it. I would just get a remanufactured one. i cant seem to remember the exact price though.

    88 fox project build ideas

    first thing id do is change the taillights....ewww. i hate those type tail lights...sorry...i had to put that in there. Then i'd build a stroked 351 using a dart block. Cant go wrong, plenty of room to grow in to a stroked 351, very capable engine if built right. Should make some SERIOUS power...

    E-cam

    Oh and use stiffer springs. Some of the worst disasters imaginable are caused by loss of valve control.The idea that stiffer springs eat up hp is a myth. Think about it, there are always the same amount of valves being open and closed at the same time, stiffer springs aren't going to ad that...

    Remove heat and install electric heater?

    fabricating is no prob. i have plenty of welding skills, welder, etc. I was just wondering if a 3G alt. would be sufficiant enough to power this along with an electric fan. I also have a console, anyone know about how large this heater is? diminsion wise? 30pnds is well worth taking all that out...

    347 eating oil

    they run .24 because there more of a racing engine, they run stuff a little looser. They use nitrous and boost so they just leave a little more room incase they run a little lean or get some detonation it wont close the gap up. For the street that is a little more than the usual .18-.20ish.

No sound deadener whats so ever, summit seats, just about everything im willing to do, this is something else i'd like. So mybe i could mount it in the floor board where my...

    Remove heat and install electric heater?

    I posted in that thread when i came out. But it got me thinking and i was wondering about it. I wasn't planning on installing it in my HVAC unit, i was going to take all of that out; the heater core, hvac unit and the entire blower assembly. And then i was going to install the heater in its...

    347 eating oil

    and they're going to notice a 351? Not to much externally to set off any alarms. I just don't see spending $1,600 for a half decent stroker kit and it only increases torque marginally. Sorry. Most everyone puts a cowl on their car anyhow. Lowering engine brackets are a bad idea on any engine...

    Remove heat and install electric heater?

    Im just wondering if i should consider removing my heater core, box all the lines, etc. and installing an electric heater from JC Whitney? Its one that actually wires into the electric system of my car, anyone had any experience with one of these? I was just wondering how much weight i could...
