    Looking at making some changes to my 351w roller.. Need advice

    I took my head off today to check clearance. I had a blown head gasket so I had to pull it anyway. I wasnt really happy with what I came up with on measurements. I got .125 on intake and .210 on exhaust. My problem is that the dished area on the piston is .125. My other problem is that the...

    Looking at making some changes to my 351w roller.. Need advice

    Ok, I think I have somewhat narrowed down what I need for a cam but still unsure somewhat. Like I said, I currently have a stage 1 TFS cam with 1.7's. I have found a couple that will work and one I definitely like but the 1.7's will set the lift to over .600. The cam that I do like is...

    Looking at making some changes to my 351w roller.. Need advice

    Thanks for the input on the injectors. I guess I thought 30 was pushing it. I will leave those alone for now. I was looking at a comp cam last night. Part # XFI236HR-14 and NX282HR. My only concern is the fact that I am running 1.7's

    Looking at making some changes to my 351w roller.. Need advice

    Hey guys. I have a 94 GT with a 351w that I put in a few years back. Last fall right before having to put the car up for winter I blew a head gasket. I didnt mess with it. So now spring is coming around and I am looking to get it out and get it fixed. I thought that since I am tearing have...

    94 GT with Eibach Sportline springs and need to make changes.. need advice

    About 10 years ago I replaced the stock springs on my 94 GT with a set of Eibach Sportlines for a fox body Mustang. However I did not change the shocks. 10 years later my shocks are shot and are original to car. I have roughly 130,000 miles on my Mustang and the suspension is all stock except...

    351w swap into '99-later stang, whats involved?

    You would use the computer and harness from the GT? I guess I was thinking that you would want to use the harness from the Mark VIII. The transmission strategy is probably close to the same on both cars. I guess it may be pointless to buy the whole car for the engine if I go with a GT. Maybe...

    351w swap into '99-later stang, whats involved?

    After replying to this, I found that it may be more work then its worth. I have a 98 Mark VIII and enjoy how smooth the dohc cam engine is. So now I am contimplating on the idea of finding a donor Mark VIII and transferring the motor and tranny from that. This brings me to another question...

    351w swap into '99-later stang, whats involved?

    I am also interested in this topic. I have a 94 Mustang that I converted to a 351w. I dont know about the suspension as far as whats involved. Ideally, I wouldnt mind going with a 99 or newer with the 4r70w. I would want to use fuel injection from either an A9L setup or the 94-95 setup.

    Need help in choosing cam for 351w

    Sorry for the delay in replying back. I have a 255 lph pump. I suppose I should wait. Ive had the car parked over winter and I am itching to get it out to drive. I just remember how it felt like the power dropped off around 4500 or so and thought maybe I should fix it. I do have some areas...

    Need help in choosing cam for 351w

    Do you think the TFS 2 cam with extra duration will be good enough until I build my engine? I am really concerned about the clearance with these 1.7's. What intake would you suggest? I am already running an RPM intake with 75mm throttle. Thanks

    Need help in choosing cam for 351w

    Thanks for the help guys. The block is roller. I will have to look into the whole duration aspect of the cam. Thanks again

    Need help in choosing cam for 351w

    Do you think the TFS stage 2 cam would be fine with 1.7 roller rockers? From what I understand, the 1.7's will bump the lift up to .576/.598. With 1.6's, the lift would be .542/.563

    Need help in choosing cam for 351w

    Thanks for the suggestions. I wouldnt mind going with a chrome style Cobra intake. I like the looks of them. I wasnt really sure how they stand up to the overall cfm flow that the AFR 185's will require. Any thoughts about the spyder intake? There are a few things I need to consider along...

    Need help in choosing cam for 351w

    With a 1.7RR, the Crower cam appears to be .527 intake and .544 exhaust. My TFS stage 1 cam comes in at .530/.542. I am unsure where I should be according to the rest of my combo. I do know that it pulls pretty good up until 4500 or so then it falls flat. That may be partly to do with the...

    Need help in choosing cam for 351w

    I did not want to go with a custom cam right now because I plan on building another engine next year. I want a cam that will perform better then what I have now. Thanks

    Need help in choosing cam for 351w

    My current cam in the 351w is too small. It is a TFS stage 1 with 1.7 roller rockers. Ideally I would like to go with a custom cam but my future plans would be to build a 393 or 408. It would be at this time that I would go custom. Anyway, the cam is too small and I want something with more...

    Steering rack with play in front wheels and steering wheel

    I checked the bolts on the shaft between the rack and pinion and steering wheel. They appear to be tight. I couldnt get them any tighter. I had my dad turn the steering wheel back and forth and I watched the movement of the shaft. Everything was tight and was consistent with the movement of...
