    Mounting oil pickup with ARP main bolts?

    Well, I have a set of ARM main BOLTS for the motor I'm putting together. I just realized I'm going to need something to mount the oil pickup to the main cap with. Do I call up summit and ask for 1 ARP stud..or what should I do? Thanks.

    Cost of painting side view mirrors?

    That sounds pretty steep. At the one I work at we'd probably charge $70-$100 for both. All you have to do is wet sand them with 600 and tape the mirror off. That price is with dupont paint too, so not junk.

    how to put ground effects on..

    I work at a body shop and we use liquid 2 part adhesive. You should be able to get it at any automotive paint shop. You'll need to buy extra tips to put on the adhesive "gun" because once it's dry the adhesive will clog up the tip. Along with that we put screws into it underneath where they...

    Engine need balancing even with stock internals?

    Yea, I understand what ya mean, but I'm not into spending $150-200 just for peace of mind. Lol. Either it needs it or not...which I wouldn't know until it was done. I'm just looking for people who have done a stock rebuild like this to see what they've done.

    Engine need balancing even with stock internals?

    I'm rebuilding a motor and wondering if I need to have the rotating assembly balanced if I'm using stock internals? The cylinders have been honed and checked by a machine shop. He said there is no need to bore .030. The thing is, the crank will be a brand new (not stroker) 302 crank...

    Painted the interior.

    Starting to look good. I gotta say though, I'm glad I have the solid black interior. Doesn't sound like a whole lotta fun to go through all that to have a black interior. :p

    Cheap turbo set up any good?

    Thanks for the list, but quite a few things on there I already have, or won't need replacing. The motor will be basically an already rebuilt mostly stock motor. All pipeing will be a SMALL fraction of what you payed for yours. Where did you get a BOV for $37.00? DSM? I'll only need a...

    Cheap turbo set up any good?

    Thanks, so I'll probably only need 3 v bands? I plan on dumping exhaust right from DP depending on how loud it is so I probably won't have to worry about that other one.

    Cheap turbo set up any good?

    Yea, the big area of oil lubrication I haven't reasearched a whole lot. That is where I don't know exactly what I need to get. BTW, Thanks for getting that list for me! As far as the V-bands go, that buddy who owns the exhaust shop said he may be able to get me a good deal on those...

    Cheap turbo set up any good?

    Alright, I understand ya. Can you give me a list with the major peices of the turbo kit with prices. Exclude piping and v-band's/couplers from price list. I should be able to get a real good deal on those components. I also won't be spending any money on welding wire/gas because I'm going to...

    Let's see your tool box...that you use use to work on the stang

    I have that same toolbox I believe. I can't tell, but does yours have the diamond plate faced drawers? If so, I have the same one, it's probably close to 6ft tall, it's pretty nice. Full of snap on/craftsman/matco tools.....:D
