    pic request...275/50/15 with 8" wheel 5.5BS

    I just purchased the same tires (275/50R15 M/T radials) as well for my GT and was wondering the same thing. I was considering running a 9 or 10" rim though with 5.5 backspacing and I'm wondering what I'm going to have to do to make them fit with out rubbing. I dont have tailpipes or quad shocks...

    I'm finnaly getting at converting my 87' Fox to 5 Bolt and throwing in my bolt in Moser 9" as well. For the front I'm going with the set up off of a 94' SN95 Mustang which is pretty straight forward. The question I have is what can I run on the rear for a disc brake setup with the Moser 9"? I'm...

    HOW TO TELL IF IT IS A CERVINIS HOOD OR NOT

    From what I know Cervinis always put's there logo on the underside of the hood. I know my 2.5" Mach 1 Cowl Hood has there logo on it. Best thing to do maybe is email Cervinis and ask them if they always put there logo on there products.

    Been trying to decide on heads all day, Need Help!!

    From what I've heard Thumper's are great...especially when on a budget. BUT.....I've always felt that Edelbrock Performer and Performer RPM Heads are the best bang for the buck. They may be a bit more money, but whats another couple of hundred...wait a bit and save up a bit more money if you...

    which carbed intake,vic jr or weiend stealth

    A 750 on a 302 is NOT fine.....750CFM is TOO MUCH carb Period...especially for fox3streetracer's combo. Of course it will work, and it may work alright but the 650 would outperform and be more responsive then a 750 whether it's a Vac or a Mech. Secondary. I run a 750cfm Mighty Demon on my...

    Vic jr or AFR for this cam?

    Vic. Jr's or AFR205's wont be enough.....AFR225 would be the way to go to reach your goal. Vic. Jr's are a great bang for the buck head but they simply wont be enough for your combo. Even AFR205's put out better flow numbers then the Vic. Jr.

    which carbed intake,vic jr or weiend stealth

    I'd go with an Edelbrock Performer RPM Air Gap, and switch over to a 650cfm Mech. or Vac. Secondaries carburetor (Such as a Barry Grant Speed Demon) to get the most out of your combo....A 750 is a little too big. The Air Gap is rated at 1500-6500 which would probably suite your combo better then...

    Roll Cage

    On my car I went with through the floor subframe connectors which I got custom made/welded in at a chassis shop in my area. I then had them weld in an 8 Point Chromoly Steel Roll Bar/Cage. I was very impressed with how it turned out. I've always felt that through the floor subframe connectors...

    As far as the fuel system goes there is alot of different ways you can go. I converted from Fuel Injection to carb as well so I'll briefly describe what I did in my case.

    Which 7qt. oil pan for a 351w?

    What I can tell you is DONT use a Milodon pan.... I made the mistake of going with a 7qt. Milodon pan. First of all the pan fit like crap, mainly due to the fact that it was slightly warped. It didn't clear the oil pump very well, so I had to slightly massage that area with a hammer. The oil...

I used to work in a performance shop and the amount of MSD products that came in under warranty was just ridiculous. I used to run MSD, and I finnaly had enough...
