    Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

    I waited a couple of days for the roads to kind of settle before I took the f250 turbo diesel out joyriding. It's 2wd and 19 feet 6 inches long. That thing goes sideways for minutes at the crack of the throttle. I was doing this at night, of course.

    Convertible top frame replacement help please!

    If you're replacing the entire thing with another complete unit, its really really easy. My friend and I swapped his white top for a black one, in less than an hour, NOT KNOWING what we were doing! Then again, we had Miller High Life in our blood, and our mullets were wagging in the wind...

    Deck Height Question

    347 I understand what you're talking about, but that answer tells me nothing either way of what I am asking. Maybe I should ask this SPECIFIC QUESTION... What is wrong with having a .208 deck height clearance?

    Deck Height Question

    I've been tossing an idea around with deck height clearance in relation to compression ratio. If I were to piece my own stroker kit together, and have the piston sitting in the hole, is there a negative effect other than lowering the compression? To give an idea, here is the math I am looking...

    xr4ti differential bolts

    Cant figure out where the hell I put the bolts that hold the driveshaft into the differential. Anyone know the thread pattern? I need to make studs for the adapter plate for t-5 anyway. I had some stock of 3/8ths 24 and it went in, but it was too loose. it's like .37x inches, and the 10mm is...

    5.0 T5

    The 2.3 Tranny's are pretty stout. I had a turbcoupe tranny behind my 351w, and ran it extremely hard, for 7 months before breaking 3rd gear. No powershifting, just a whole lot of hurt between shifts. The transmission bolted up to the 5.0 bellhousing, so the other way around should work. Your...
