    Some 5.0 Advice: 3k to build

    OK the description sounded jsut like a buddy of mine that is just starting to mod. Weird. Here is the best advice you will ever get when it comes to your car. Decide how much power to want first and then start planning around it. Not having a plan at the beginning makes the overall cost...

    Who has an Optima battery?

    I'm very glad I read all of this. I too have replaced a few red tops as well as my buddy. I think the problem was leaving them outside over winter. We quickly found out that's not a good idea. This year, I simply removed the battery and put it in my basement. I put it back in 7 months...

    valve cover breather and pcv advice

    They are not hitting vertically. Horizontally there is a problem. The cover is essentially touching the outside rockers on the sides. I guess stock rockers do look wider than roller rockers.

    valve cover breather and pcv advice

    What the Hell I guess trickflow valve covers don't fit with stock rockers. Thinking bout just using my Ford covers now and one if the bungs will just have to he in the back of the valve cover even though it'd be better to have both in the front although I guess ill have baffles now

    valve cover breather and pcv advice

    Ah yes too bad theyre tall I bet those filter holes seal off oil better. I just received my black trickflow covers just have to figure out the cleanest way of welding the bung on without screwing the powdercoating too bad

    battery relocation question and opinions needed

    I guess moving the solenoid would be nice in a way but my fuse box wouldn't be getting any power at all times. I'll just fuse the alt and leave the starter cable live like I've had it for years already

    valve cover breather and pcv advice

    Well I guess no one had and advice but u think I'm just going to buy black trickflow covers and weld a bung in each of the near the front and run each line into the can. Hopefully I can make the covers look good after removing the powdercoating and welding in them. Also I hope not having...

    battery relocation question and opinions needed

    The article mostly refers to fox body which has a different starter setup as well as alternator, but there was some useful info in it. That other website is interesting. I like the solenoid setup they have to make the starter wire not live the entire length of the car. The alt wire will...

    Six speed swap for a 5 speed?

    Yea that 0.50 would suck. Why do u sy this? It's quite possible you'd be unhappy with the tko as well.

    valve cover breather and pcv advice

    I just called shogun and bought their breather tank. Now I just have to decide if I wanna weld two bungs on the front of my valve covers or get new ones that don't already have filter holes in them. Id like to keep the baffles though but not seeing a way of having bungs up front with baffles...

    Six speed swap for a 5 speed?

    I didn't get a t56 for the extra gear. I got it because its a strong nice shifting tranny and there are only so many options for our cars. if there was a good 5 speed option that shifted nice and held the power I want it to hold on the market and it was cheaper than a t56 I would have bought one.

    8.8 Rear end

    Tough call I just went through this myself. If ur going to buy 31 spine stuff is just go 33 if u might ever have more power. I decided to just stick with my setup with just over 500rwhp and drag radial which consists of welded tubes sang 31s and 03 cobra diff with strange c clips eliminators...

    valve cover breather and pcv advice

    So I have Ford racing valve covers and the breathes that come with them are pretty much worthless since they flow very little air and don't seal well at all. Im sick of oil getting on my headers. I'm think ill weld a Bing on each cover where the breather holes are but need some advice. I like...

    battery relocation question and opinions needed

    Man I hate undoing things that I sent time doing like this 4ga cable and fuse upgrade that was running from my alt to fuse box. Did u just run the other two small wires to the stick plug by the fuse block? I saw a thread where someone was saying they need to become part of the switch wiring. I...

    battery relocation question and opinions needed

    I just realized that if I ran the alt like I showed above, the alt fuse wouldn't really be necessary. If I ran it to the battery post then id prolly want that inline fuse. I said the opposite in my previous post.

    battery relocation question and opinions needed

    Yeah that looks great. I like the switch setup but doubt I'd fit it in my box (sounds horrible). I might test a sealed one though but still not sure it'd fit with an optima
