    would you suggest going carb?

    The auto trans might be the difference. I have the T-5. I didn't notice a cam in your sig. That also might make a difference. As far as starting goes, I'd say its about the same as it was stock, Which is just so, so. In the aera of neck snapping, I need the Drag Radials for that. Can't keep the...

    would you suggest going carb?

    Did you have intake, heads, cam and exhaust? I ran the original 585 holley with new neddlles and seats. Rejetted it with a new metering plate for a couple months. Not enough carb. Threw on a friends 600. Ran that for a couple weeks. (On the street and track) Still wasn't enough carb...

    would you suggest going carb?

    My 85 is an every day driver (now weekends only) with great throttle response and idle. A little choppy from the cam. Otherwise 800 rpm. Take it to the grocery store in the morning. Take it to the track in the afternoon.

    would you suggest going carb?

    My daily driver F-350 is EFI. Good for me because I don't want to mess with it. On the other hand I'm always testing, tuning and just playing with my 85 GT. I've gone through three intakes and two carb's and I haven't spent more then $500. For now I run an RPM with a 650 cfm QuickFuel. Just got...

    Heads, intake, cam, ignition, injectors, rockers, electric fan, dump the A/C and smog pump. Should get you around 300 at the wheel's.

    Running 12's!

    For 2K you might be able to get gears, heads, and a cam. Or gears, intake, cam. Gears are a givin. They will really wake things up. Just remember. Speed costs $.

    speedo cable q's...

    The whole dash should not have to come out, at leat it didn't on my 85. I'll save you some leg work on finding a cable. I looked everywhere for one and only found cheap knockoffs. CJ Pony was the only vendor that came up with a Ford cable. Perfect fit.

    Aluminum Drive Shaft question

    It always seems to be the people that understand the least about the economy that make the most noise about it. Supply and demand son. Supply and demand. The reason the prices for this driveshaft went up is because people have money to spend on things like this. If our economy was so bad people...

    TFS High Ports 51700002's or Edelbrock 6037's??

    If you need to stay emissions legal then the Edelbrock for sure. Not sure but I think the highport heads may be a little to much for a stock bottom end and an E-cam. Besides, the 6037 head is dyno matched to the E-cam. Look at the Edelbrock web sight and their Performer Plus package. The spec...

    speedo too slow

    As started earlier. Its your speedo driven gear. Pull the cable out of the trans. All the speedo cable driven gears are color coded. Whatever tooth gear you have, move up or down to the next one. Very simple and inexpensive. Baldy's got it for you. Next stop your Ford dealer.

    Welds for a Fox

    LOL ...... Now I remember you're car. You're car definitly sits a lot higher then mine. I'm wondering if I used a 1/4" spacer that I would minimize the amount of inner fender pounding I would have to do, yet still allow for outter fender clearance. (Maybe a little fender rolling) Nice meeting...

    Fitting Weld Draglites 15X10 rims and MT ET radials on a fox WITH PICS

    Looks great and thanks for posting pics. You just made my decision easier. Going to go with the standard 15X8 with 275/50R's and avoid the pounding.

    Welds for a Fox

    Right ... Checked the MT sight and saw that the 275/50R 15's were about the same. Didn't the 8.8 have an pinion snubber from the factory? I thought that is what I pulled off when I installed PHP axle braces. If it was I'm not sure I can run both. Besides, as long as I'm on a drag radial I really...

    Welds for a Fox

    I'm not to concerned about removing the quads. I've always heard they were pretty much useless if you had good upper and lowers. If I didn't have to that would be fine also. I currently have 235/60R's on the stock 10 holes and was thinking about some Welds for track us only. Maybe some skinny's...

    Welds for a Fox

    Yes. Axle hop was what I was thinking. I already am running BBK upper and lowers. 275/50R's seem a little large. Wouldn't they turn my 3.55 gears into 3.27's? .... Opps. Just checked MT and I see the 275/50R's are only 26" diamater. Though they do suggest using a 10" rim.

    Welds for a Fox

    I'm sure this has been asked a dozen times on this sight, but I haven't been able to find this info. What size Draglites fit with what size tire on the rear of a Fox body that still uses the quad shocks? What back spacing should I go with?

    checkin what gears are in the car?

    DING, DING, DING, DING, DING, We have a winner. I was wondering when someone was going to give this info. You probably don't even have to jack the car up. If you can reach the driveshaft with a piece of chalk all you have to do mark the tire and DS, bend down and watch the DS spin while someone...
