    AFR 165

    I say skip the 165's and go to 185's. You won't lose any low end power, and you will have room to grow (power wise) down the road.

    302 to 351 conversion question

    I agree with above post. If you were going to use a stock stroke 351, then a 347 is a better way to go. It will be lighter, quicker revving/accelerating, and just as powerfull. Now if you were going to do a 408 then that is another story. To answer your question though you can use existing...

    351W to 408 Stroker owners...step inside

    I got mine from ford strokers, which is a Coast High Performance kit. Custom cam from Jay Allen (highly recomend him), 10.4:1 compression. Jay actually set up my entire top end: heads, cam, intake, and valve trane. it will scream if done right. I would lean toward Scat instead of Eagle out of...

    Exhaust suggestions

    I'm doimg the 2 1/2" Magnaflow kit on my 408 W in a 70. I heard this exhaust on a similar engine and really liked the sound. 3" might not overkill, but I have heard that routing can get to be dificult.

    Best Frame Connectors?

    I don't have any on my car yet, but I like the design of the Maier Racing connectors. They are longer and connect in 4 places instead of 2, like most others.

    Resto Mod Question

    I have to second the Hot Rod Six idea. I have been waiting to see someone with enough guts to do a single turbo I-6 in a early Mustang.

    Has anyone made their own Caltracs?

    Has anyone made their own Caltracs? Just wondering if anyone has some drawings/dimensions they are willing to share. Thanks in advance! Brad

    Steering Ram drop Bracket pulled out of Frame

    One thing I found that helps is to not use the hole location on the aftermarket bracket. I redrilled a new hole closer to the frame and then cut off the old hole. It reduces the amount of leverage the cylinder has on the bracket and gives me more ground clearance. I can't remember how much I...

    Opinion on 347 Shortblock?

    I highly recommend fordstrokers.com, Woody knows his stuff. Unless you already have your top end sorted out I would also recommend Jay Allen for cam, heads, and valve train.

    Need Help Picking Long Block

    Sorry about my use of words D.Hearne, probably should have said that they shared the same block. I guess what I really was trying to say was that a 4" stroke has been used in a similar configuration from the factory. Although they were not known for making huge power numbers (mostly due to...

    Need Help Picking Long Block

    I would like to second "woodsnake"'s recommendation for that web site before you pull the trigger on a 392 and give up some cubic inches based completely on a myth. Remember that once upon a time you could get a 400 cubic inch small block (based on the 351M) straight from Ford in several full...

    new 408 low dyno numbers

    I do agree with most of the previous posts, but instead of suggesting what parts you need I'm going to give you the best advice I can. Go to s b f tech.com (remove the spaces) and do some research. Get your post count up to 10 to open some other forums. Pay special attention to what Jay Allen...

    Auto to TKO swap

    You are definately on the right track. As for striping the engine bay. I found some paint striping wheels (they were like an aggresive scotch brite pad) for my 4" angle grinder and that worked like a charm everywhere I could get it to fit. After that I switched to a die grinder. When it...

    Auto to TKO swap

    j69302 I used the Slik Stik shifter that Bruce sells as an optional shifter for the TKO's.

    Auto to TKO swap

    I have not measured my pinion angle yet, but I am pretty sure that I'm good. Here is a run down of what my set up is: 408 W (stroker kit from Fordstrokers and top end from Jay Allen @ Camshaft Innovations), Ron Morrison Performance 1/2" drop adjustable motor mounts, TKO 600 tranny, & a cable...

    Auto to TKO swap

    I can personally verify that a TKO will fit with no modification to the tunnel. I just installed one along with a 408 W in my '70 last weekend. As for some of the other questions I would recommend talking to Bruce Couture @ Modern Driveline, he can answer all of your questions. This is where...

    engine build ????

    I could recommend specific components like others have, but the best advice I can give is to talk to Jay Allen @ Camshaft Innovations before you spend a dime on anything. He can set up a combination that will do anything you want and his customer service is terrific.

    347 or 427???

    You won't have to remove or notch the shock towers in a '68. there is enough room there already. The '68 came from the factory with "FE" engines in them. That being said, I would go with a 347 of a 408W because of the reasons already stated. The 427 will be expensive and much harder to get parts...

    Water pump question

    Is there any real cooling benefit with a high flow water pump, Or is it just more parasitic loss at higher RPM's? This is a street car with 408 W and TKO 600 in a '70.
