    Bad vibrations

    Wouldn't that indicate a problem upstream of the final drive? I think, and he'll correct me if I'm wrong, he's hearing more of a chirping sound.

    Bad vibrations

    Yep...u-joint. There's a small chance that it's a pinion bearing, but I'd lean toward the u-joint.

    Bad vibrations

    Yep. Sounds like a u-joint then. Does this squeeking have a sound like it's occuring at a rate that is about 3-4 times faster than the wheels are turning? I don't know if that makes sense or not. :(

    degreeing cams?

    BINGO! I order to reap the full benefit, you should dial them in, which is to say they atleast degree'd them. Sure, you may get lucky. Hell, I did first time around. Look people, bottom line is; there has never been ONE case of PTV contact reported from a properly installed set of cams...

    As already stated, just about any of the aluminum blocks will suffice. I think the situation is this... The new block hasn't been around long enough for the general populus to prove it's strength, and that may never be proven out given the high hp any of these blocks can handle. But I...

    4/10's here. I went from a 14.1 to a 13.7. The gears were one of my first mods.

    how to remove the rear seat?

    Good question. Those lower screws must have been a bee-ahtch to get at!

    degreeing cams?

    Yep, Fidanza gears simply do not cut it. The fasteners used to secure the adjustment simply do not have enough bearing area and do not provide enough clamp force to do the job. I have no idea why they didn't use a larger fastener head. It looks to me like there's plenty of room for it. This...

    new gears for automatic?

    4.10's -- VT Stage II's -- 3600 stall -- 21 mpg on the highway (at 70 mph). You'll get used to the engine speed at 70. Not to mention the fact that you're making more power in that rpm range, so walking away from traffic is ALOT easier.

    Well, like I said, if you want the strongest, go with an RF3L2E-6015-CC casting. It has the strongest main bulkheads of ALL aluminum 4.6L modulars.

    how to remove the rear seat?

    Okay, On both sides, right where the floor carpet meets the seat, there is a plastic retainer button that needs to be pushed. They are about halfway between the middle of the seat and the edges of the seat. Lift the seat material right where it meets the carpet and you'll see a white plastic...

    Not true! Talk to the guys at VT Engines. They have built several in the 800 hp range with continued success, and are currently building one to 1200 hp. Contrary to popular belief, these blocks are pretty much indistructable for street applications.
