    Holey siht Batman...I have found a solution for saggy map curtins!!!

    To fix that very problem I got a snap press and some snaps at a fabric store (dont ask how I know) and put some chrome snaps on it - 3 each side - no more sag and it looks as if the factory installed it. I had the sag - not the stretch :shrug: Legendary: Oh an you can get the carpet at...

    Windsor Hood Clearence

    I can tell you that I used a RPM intake with the stock 85 Air Cleaner on my 351w swap and it fit under the stock hood (barely). If this helps. . . check out Edelbrock online and see how much taller the Vic Jr is than the RPM and you could judge by that.

    351W Fox owners

    Roller cams: You can do it three ways. 1. Use a small base circle cam (every mfgr of roller cams offers them - just ask) with your 5.0 spiders and roller lifters. Just make sure to have your block machined for it when its at the shop. 2. You can buy the Comp/Crane/FMS link bar lifters and...

    Question about gutting convertable motor and pumps

    I took it all out last season . . .I have had no problems what soever. I had a line break and spray hydro fluid everywhere....very messy cleanup... It is a little stiff ulling it up by yourself from one side, but managable...

    sbc 350

    Before you get to far into this, check out what it will cost for headers - unless you are prepared to pay $700.00 plus shiping for a set - I would look elsewhere. The ford T-5 will not work without changing a butt load of stuff at great expense. You will need a T-5 out of a Camaro that...

    high volume or standard oil pump

    As a general rule any engine that runs less than 7,000 RPMs does not need either a deep sump pan or a HV oil pump. Having said that if you already have the canton pan you will benefit from the HV pump - the reason you should stay with a stock style pump on a normal oil pan, is that during...

    how do i tell the difference between a 5.0 and a 4 or 6 cyl.

    83 non GT's had a single pipe exiting the rear of the car. No fox mustnag (79-85) had true dual exhaust - that was not offered until 1986 - same year EFI was introduced and the 8.8 rear. 84 (I believe) came with two rear pipes - but 79-83 still had a single pipe from the factory. On an 83...

    Oil Pump Driveshaft Install! Confused and need help fast!

    Yes, that is more or less the clip they are refering too. Because yours is not removable, you must install it in the block and oil pump before you bolt the pump down to the block. Just put it through the hole so the pointy esnd (clip end) is up - facing the distributor hole. Then put the...

    convertable lowering springs

    Physically they will fit just fine. You will have no problems with the install. However, having said that, your ride in convertible will be significantly different. THe spring rates on the two sets are different for the 5.0 Verts v other 5.0s. If you dont mind the harsher ride go for it...

    Is an aluminim flywheel worth it? Or just go billet steel?

    Depends on if you are in class racing Some classes warrant an alum SFI flywheel, others dont. they will give you a seat of the pants difference and make life on your ratoating assembly a little more prolonged . . . but it all depends on your financial situation.

    28oz vs 50oz balancer..WHAT THE HECK?

    You generally only need the .875" spacer if you are running one of the stock 302/351 28 ox 4 bolt balancers. Most all aftermarket ones are the correct diameter. I was told the same thing as you - I bought a spacer from Ford for $35.00. I of course did not need it for my aftermarket balancer...

    Help w/ Flywheel Purchase

    Well as a general rule, if your balancer or flywheel is lighter, the engine will spin easier. I read an article about this once - the alum. SFI Firdanza flywheel ( and corresponding balancer) picked up 7 hp over the stocker with no other changes. Of course this is a $400 flywheel. If you...

    351 GT40 buildup?

    It would be a lot of fun on the street as Tq curve would be very low with the P heads and the GT-40 intake. It would of course die up top, but it sounds like a great budget build. If you can get the parts at a price go for it!

    What's needed for 85GT to 93GT front end?

    :nonono: Uh Oh - Here we go again! Well you will need to start by switching out the entire interior -- noting is the same. Many have had more than a few problems getting the 87-93 interior parts to line/bolt up do to the differences inmounting locations. You may need new doors on...

    Anybody Have a Mini Starter??

    Did you follow the wiring directions? The way to wire the starter and solenoid is completely different than OEM. If you put anything out of place it will just spin and not kick back/up in order to engage the flywheel. Tell us how you wired it!

    2 questions

    Are you looking to retain stock heads? If so then you can not go wrong with 351w C9OE or D0OE heads, GT-40p with the correct headers, or good ported E7's. It all depends on your budget. For my money the best bang for the buck on on otherwise stock 5.0 is the World Products Windsor Jr. (Roush...
