    Getting rid of my roller 351 block

    I dissassembled it in prep for machining for the stroker motor I had in planning but the machine shop Ive always used closed down a few months back so I put everything on the back burner. Depending on your plans, if you wanted to keep it at the stock displacement, you could take a quick hone to...

    Getting rid of my roller 351 block

    All I have is the block, crank, cam, rods, pistons, roller lifters and the main caps. Sorry.

    Getting rid of my roller 351 block

    Bought the block about a year ago when my plans were for a 408 - 427 windsor. Times have changed and Im thinking of going with a KB setup. Block is at my shop in Spencer, MA. Rotating assembly is out of it. Block has been oiled since I bought it. No flash rust on cyliner walls. Kind of a feeler...

    An example of why selling a car is so difficult...

    Some peoples opinions in this thread are curious. So if a GT with a Cobra drivetrain is still just a GT... does that mean a Cobra with a GT drivetrain is still a Cobra and should warrant the same money as any other Cobra? A motor (again, in my opinion) is what MAKES the car. Its certainly not...

    11/16-11/19 - Absolutely FREE shipping @ CJs

    I can attest to this! Just ordered a block plate, the very last piece needed for my T5 conversion. I was even discounted two dollars for some reason. Wish I wouldve known this yesterday, I wouldve saved 25 dollars shipping on my quadrant, knob and adjuster.

    Tucked the vert in for it's long winter nap

    My issue with that was that even when it was a few days old and I drove around they lay it on so thick around here it builds up in the wheel wells and on the pipes. You literally have to go to the carwash every other day to keep on top of it. Its the spray salt stuff theyve been using lately...

    Tucked the vert in for it's long winter nap

    Ive owned 7 mustangs. The two before this were driven year round out of necessity. Both were rotted out and not worth putting money into at the end. My current one has no rot and I intend to keep it that way. Road salt around here is vicious. Not to mention I have Cobra front brakes and soon...

    Tucked the vert in for it's long winter nap

    So its official, my cars up for the winter as well. Got the "new" probe on the road. Has a 5 speed, makes me anxious to get the T5 in the stang.

    Tucked the vert in for it's long winter nap

    Yeah I did the dealership thing for 7 years and after long days of messing with other peoples cars, I never had time or motivation to work on my own. After they closed down I put my tools in storage for a while but theres high demand for good work at a fair price so it wasnt long before I was...

    Tucked the vert in for it's long winter nap

    Mines only 800 square feet and mostly occupied now by my stang and my friends 300zx but I still have adequate space to keep performing repairs on customers cars. Man what I could do with another 200 squares... cant complain though, this garage / business has been my dream for ten years. Sucks I...

    Tucked the vert in for it's long winter nap

    Two more days and my 95 will be in my shop for the winter. Over the winter projects - T5 swap, 03 cobra rack, 3.73s, rear cobra brakes and a few other odds and ends. First time Ive had a garage for my car . Even better thats its heated and has a 60 gallon compressor. Need to buy a new camera though.

    I need tranny help ASAP!!!!!

    For anyone following the post, it WAS the roll pin. So keep that in mind if you ever tear apart your tranny yourself. The shift shaft roll pin MUST be driven below the surface of the shaft but not far enough to protrude out the bottom. Glad it worked out for you. If anyone else ever needs advice...

    I need tranny help ASAP!!!!!

    Im pretty certain your problem lies in how you reassembled the shift fork rod assembly on the top cover. I think you need to dissassemble back down to where you can remove the top cover again and check a few things (probably not what you want to hear but youve had enough practice at it now!). If...

    Wheel Bolt/Stud twisting and slipping

    Most parts stores will have a variety of different wheel studs with the right thread pitch for our cars. I know advance does. I would bring the one you have, have them mic the od of the splines on the one thats a loose fit and then look for a similar size one with the same threads that has a...

    Dyno disappointment!!

    When I read through this post, I didnt even realize it was over a year old until the 3rd page. Still would like to know how it all turned out.

    2010 Chevy Camaro SS vs. 2010 Ford Mustang GT, 2009 Dodge Challenger R/T

    I agree, theres a lot of pride when it comes to our cars and the brands we give our loyalty too. Some people take it a little too far. For the most part, this thread has been the calmest, most rational one Ive ever seen or been part of. No flaming really, no tall tales. All in all not bad. I...

    2010 Chevy Camaro SS vs. 2010 Ford Mustang GT, 2009 Dodge Challenger R/T

    Saying chevys infamous recipe for insuccess equates to squat is hardly a diss on the new camaro. I really dont care enough about the car to talk about it that much, good or bad. If I had to talk about it, Id say its chevys attempt to gain some ground in the market again but it came at the very...

    2010 Chevy Camaro SS vs. 2010 Ford Mustang GT, 2009 Dodge Challenger R/T

    Ahh that makes my day.:D Proves yet again that Chevys old trick of just putting a bigger, more powerful motor in a car doesnt equate to squat. Cant wait for the return of the 5.0

    99-04 calipers??

    I had them before I got my 03 Cobras on. They save a significant amount of weight and do much better at stopping the car. I didnt think Id notice the difference but I did immediately and so will you. I still have them under a bench at my work in case I ever buy another stang with stock brakes.
