    Overheating... best fan

    Or you could just wire it into the keyed ignition switch so it always runs when the ignition is on. I'm currently undergoing a motor swap and think I'm going to put a Taurus fan in while the motor is out. I'll probably just wire it to run all the time like that. The thermostat in the intake...

    What oil ?

    10w-30 would be one step up from 5w-30. The first number refers to the cold weight of the oil and the second number the running temp weight.

    occasional starting problem ??????

    Hmmm, strange that the car would start at wal-mart by cranking the engine through a push start but not with the starter....

    What oil ?

    It would probably be fine, especially being in the north. I live in Michigan and run 5w-30 in all my cars. The lighter weight oils lube a cold engine at startup best. If you lived in a real warm climate you might want to step up to a thicker oil but for us in the north, 5w-30 will do.

    Low Collant

    No, the coolant will not re-enter the system from the overflow tank. You will need to fill the system yourself. Why do people bypass the upper intake hoses like that? My black fox was bypassed when I got it, too.

    paxton s/c install

    Sorry, this is off subject from your question but as I have no idea how to answer for you.... Your setup sounds nearly identical to mine except for the injectors. I have 19# injectors. Did you run the car at all with smaller injectors. Would just upgrading my injectors to 24# help much...

    Bolt chain down to pull motor...

    I've always just bolted straight to the lower intake manifold and never had a problem. A load leveler is always nice when pulling the trans out with the engine especially if the radiator is still in the car. Nice pic, blkcobra50. Is that your stroker motor going in?

    who here sleeps regularly

    Ya, I start work between 7 & 8 so I'm not up real late. Back in the days of unemployment, though, woohoo!

    first post from a newb

    Very nice fox! I'm fairly new to StangNet as well and have been trying to update my info that shows up to the left of my posts. How do you guys get pictures and location, etc, over there?

    Boring a 5.0 +.060

    I think the 351 might have thicker walls, though. Not sure on that. What's the issue with over-boring? Is it that the engine will run hot or am I going to bust a rod or something through the cylinder wall?

    Boring a 5.0 +.060

    Hey guys, How do feel about boring a 5.0 to +.060? Has anyone had any good/bad experiences doing this? Is it just too much or will I be okay?

    3.73 Speedo Correction

    3.73 Speedo Correction

    I have 3.73 gears in my Fox and the speedo says I'm going way faster than I actually am. How can I get it to display the correct speed?

    Fuel Injector Size Selection

    So, do you think my setup would benefit from upgrading to 24# injectors? How much hp would you estimate from 65mm throttle body, gt40 heads, and x-cam? I just bought the car and am in process of installing the heads. Maybe I should put some bigger injectors in while I'm at it? Hate to throw...
