    Grrrr...*****ing Flowtech headers

    Unfortunately, the Flowtech's is what I've been using for the past 3 years now. At the time I ordered them, money was tight so they were basically my only option. Am I happy with them? No. :notnice: I think I have like 10 exhaust leaks from every slip-fit joint. But they will soon be...

    351W or 331? Can't decide!

    I've decided that either way I go, I'd still make the 351 a roller engine with the retrofit lifters.(Unless I find a late model block) Plus I'd opt to keep the fuel injection. My main concern was compression since I'd like to keep it low for boost later on(probably between 8.5-9 or so). I was...

    351W or 331? Can't decide!

    I looked into with and it doesn't come with the sportsman block. There's a more expensive version of this from Ford that runs about $3100 and it has the sportsman block. I really don't want to have to resort to using a "better block" since they run between $850-2500. Another reason about the...

    351W or 331? Can't decide!

    I kind of like the fact that the 351W block will be stronger for future plans such as a turbo. As far as the exhaust goes, I was buying going to buy new headers(probably the BBK longtubes). Another thing that made me curious is why someone said the 351 was too hot?

    351W or 331? Can't decide!

    I'm seriously debating whether or not I'll stroke my 5.0 or just drop in a healthy 351W. Along with either combo, I'll most likely be using a set of AFR 185's with it. I was already going to buy new headers for my car(crappy Flowtech's on right now) so it would seem a 351W would be the way to...

    Clearance problems with 1.7's rockers?

    I forgot to mention that the heads are still stock with stock valves. I already put in a spring and retainer kit from Crane when I installed the cam. So should I just go with some 1.6's just to be safe? Either way, it'll be better than using the stock rockers.

    Clearance problems with 1.7's rockers?

    I've got a 92 motor in my Capri and wondering if the 1.7rr's will be ok with the E-303 cam I have and the fact that my heads have been milled about .015.

    Need a poll on headers

    Anyone happen to have a price on the Hooker headers? I've thought about Kooks, but the price kind of turned me away. How about the Bassani's?

    Need a poll on headers

    I plan to get some new headers to replace my old Flowtech longtubes. They were cheap at the time I bought them but I've decided to spring for something much nicer.(and coated) So, what's the opinions on these brands: BBK, MAC, other?

    FFW @ Ennis

    Kind of sucks for me. I just slipped in a new cam in my car and was going to have new 4.10's put in only to find out my Auburn heavy duty diff has some broken spider gears. :nonono: With it being so close to FFW, I simply can't afford to buy a new diff right now and decided to just build up...

    New Setup, New Time Slip, New Problems!

    I'd say practice and/or get some sticky tires. 85 is a pretty nice trap speed so you definately have some power that needs extra traction.

    FFW @ Ennis

    I'll be going there as well. True Street for me. Still don't know why I still have to do the 30 mile cruise since I'm over 200 miles away and I drove down there. :D My car won't be hard to find. Last 2 years I've went, there was only 3 Capri's including mine and I had the slowest one. :rlaugh:

    Bling or Zing

    So far I haven't spent any money on looks except for some polish and black spray paint for the trim and etc. I do have Welds though but they're really for performance. All my money has been to go faster. Here's an old, blurry pic anyways since I'm bored.

    Car overheated BADLY

    Once my thermostat stuck and I too overheated my car pretty bad. After driving it around the next couple of days, I kept smelling antifreeze. Then decided to pull my plugs and antifreeze came out of one of the spark plug holes. Turns out it screwed up a head gasket. After I replaced the...

    Questions about power

    So would it be better just to stick with the 2.5 or go with a 2.3 since they're more common? I probably will just stick with a carb for it's simplicity.

    Questions about power

    Though it won't go into a Mustang, it'll still go into a Ford. I've got a 72 Pinto in need of a little extra power so I was thinking about rebuilding a 2.5 on a low budget to help it out. It'll also be N/A and I may just change out the auto tranny in it. So how much power can I expect out of...

    TOP SPEED ANYONE???

    I've only hit 135 at the top of 4th in my car. It's a bit unstable with 3.5's in front with ET streets in the back. :rolleyes: As far as the top speed is concerned, I really can't say I know. I only put out about 235rwhp which I don't think is good enough to 190+. Just my .02.

    Average power gain from E-303?

    I did forget to mention that I'm also changing out the valve springs and retainers with a set from Crane that handles up to a .550" lift. About the only thing thats done to heads are that they were slightly milled and I ported out the exhaust a bit. I pretty much have all of the mentioned...
