    351W, GT40, Cobra Intake.. ??X303??

    Nope, the Lightnings (Gen1, 351W) all came w/ flat tappet cams, although they blocks are ready for a roller cam. I'm only thinking about this cam swap because I can do it for around $100. Next year, the motor is getting knocked out to a 393, new heads, intake, and custom cam at that time...

    will this engine Mount right up??

    the block will. I don't think the accessories will fit. And the intake may or may not face the drivers side.

    AOD swap to t-5 or tremec and why

    Tremec TKO is the way to go if you're putting in a 5spd, especially if you're starting w/ an AOD. You're going to have to buy all of the same parts (clutch, etc) anyways. You might as well go w/ the TKO and be done with it. Simply put, the TKO is the strongest 5spd tranny you can put into...

    351W, GT40, Cobra Intake.. ??X303??

    I have a 351W, with GT-40 heads, a GT-40 lower and Cobra upper. Right now, it has a stock 94 Lightning cam in it. How much of an advantage would it be to put in an X303 cam?? I can get one for $100. Is that, plus the cost of putting in roller lifters worth the change? The rest of the parts...

    better bang for buck 347 vs. 351w

    Today, the idea that a 347 is a bad daily driver is nothing more than a myth. 10 years ago, true, today, not true. The problems that used to be inhearent in a 347 were the wrist pin intersecting the oil control ring. This caused excesive oil burning, a bad thing for a daily driver. Today's...

    better bang for buck 347 vs. 351w

    There have been quite a few discussions on this before. Do a search, and you'll learn volumes. A 351W will cost more. But, in my opinion, it's worth it. It's a stronger block, as mentioned. The stock 5.0 block is capably (usually, cause I know some have pushed more) of holding 500HP. If...

    Think your msitake is bad? THE BIGGEST IDIOT MISTAKE OF ALL TIME!!!

    A buddy of mine had put in a new cam. Well he asks me to come over and help adjust the lash in the rockers. We go over it, every cylinder. I'm pretty condident I have all of the rockers tightened down and the lifters loaded up. So I tell him to crawl out from under the car (where he had been...
