    How hard is it to switch out a crank, cam and lower compression?

    Yeah, I've only read somewhere that nitrous is good for high compression, since you have first hand experience, we'll go with what you say. :)

    How hard is it to switch out a crank, cam and lower compression?

    I'm running about 8 lbs of boost with a 10:1 compression ratio and I have run into some problems with blown headgaskets and "blowed up" pistons. After the most recent catastrophe I finally went with some head studs rather than bolts and some of those fel-pro 1011 lockwire headgaskets, got the...

    should i sell my 94 cobra? (just bought a 93 cobra)

    Keep'em both!!! Congrats on the Cobra buy, its an awesome car and I get tons of compliments on mine even though its in less than stellar shape. I've had thoughts of selling either one of my Mustangs, but I think I'd miss them too much and I'd live the rest of my life in painful regret.

    Blown Head gasket

    Use a dial indicator to find TDC on the compression stroke and there you have it, make sure the needle points at 0

    We have slowed down

    I know I haven't posted for some time. Got the '95 fixed up an running as well as she ever has, but couldn't take her with me to Oklahoma, broke my heart. She's still in Idaho, but I have my dad take her for a spin every once in while to keep her fresh. Got my 1993 Cobra with me here that...

    Help Me Pick an LCD TV

    Recently bought a 46" Samsung. 120hz, 50,000:1 contrast ratio. The TV is AMAZING, great for games and movies, complements my PS3 perfectly. I had to turn off a feature though, had to do with anti-judder or something. It drove me nuts when watching blu-rays.

    Blown Head gasket

    I concur with everybody that your head gasket = toast. I also strongly suggest that you try to figure out why it blew in the first place so it does not keep happening. I was blowing headgaskets like crazy and even blew up a forged piston, because I was accidently setting the base timing at 14...

    Accidental dumps...

    I have the MAC offroad h-pipe and I like how its separated into more segments. I just loosely bolt everything up, jack it up in the middle, then cinch her down. No problems with ground clearance. If you get tired of cutting and welding, I say go with that.

    pilot bearing *help

    I would say take it out using the above mentioned method, check it for damage, and try to get it in straight again.

    How to : AC Removal, Anyone have a step by Step?

    The line tools are the same as you'd use to disconnect the fuel lines, or at least that's what I used. Get them at any parts store. As for a belt, just buy a few belts of different sizes, see which one fits, then return the rest.

    Got the new springs--what else?

    I wouldn't sweat it that the springs are for 79-04. Most of them are, although you'll probably get different amounts of drop depending on the body style. As far as CC plates, I just went ahead and bought them from the get go, but try without them and see if you can get the alignment right. If...

    Comp. ratio for a 347 w/ Kenne Bell

    If you decide you want to do it just be really conservative with a higher compression ratio. I was only hitting about 8 lb of boost with my procharger. And also I'm at 10:1, but its still on the high side.

    Rounded head bolt

    Cars sitting at home, I'm at school. Head's getting repaired by AFR and got a new piston and rings ordered. Cylinder's got some aluminum stuck to the side of it, but my machine guy said I can just carefully scrape it off and it'll be good. I'll probably be able to get to it at end of June...

    turndowns on stock h-pipe?

    Well first off, you can crawl up under there and measure the size of the pipe. Then Advance auto parts (if you got any of them in your parts) sells turndowns in various sizes.

    Battery Relocation Kit Questions

    I suppose it just comes down to whether or not you want to put it together yourself or not. Its probably much cheaper to do it yourself, and if the batt needs to be sealed, then I don't imagine it being too dificult to fab up your own box. I got my battery relocation kit with my procharger...

    TKO 600 an clutch cable cover

    if you're using the tremec bellhousing, then a fox clutch fork cover will do the trick. That's what I used. The idea of stuff flying up in there just doesn't sit well with me. you can get one from mustangsunlimited.com

    351W Headers?

    as for short tubes, I got a set of Hooker headers made for the '95 cobra R. Don't know the part number, but you can search for them on Summit or Jegs. Longtubes, a few people got them from Kooks.
