    Got a little cam question

    Umm, yeah, help me out here. I have a 544 cam and 1.7s. I want to run some edelbrock heads. am I safe with both the 1.90 intake or 2.02 intake size heads. And will a head gasket save the pv clearance at the cost of compression?

    1.7 Roller Rockers

    I have 1.7s and I need new junk. But I'm waiting until I get my ebrock heads so I don't have to do it twice. And no you DONT have to. They come with shims for fine tuning with using stock rods. I have to because mine weren't right in the first place. Guy before me had the car ina bad way.

    Weld Draglites

    Get 265 or lower. Anything more will have clearance issues. I have 275 and about a 1/4 inch away from each tail pipe. So I'm gonna downsize soon.

    Is There a New Dyno Standard?

    either way, as long as you're seeing where you're making power I'm sure everything is ok. I would use it more to tell shift points than anything else. And I would prolly only use a mustang dyno to get even MORE accurate results. But any dyno will tell your powerband.

    How Do You Drop Gas Tank????

    Nah, I've had $5 of gas in the tank for half a year now. I just start it up every now and then. Doing lot's of resto-work + modding. Cool, thanks.

    I need some ideas

    Sorry no responses. I've never had stroked motor, bt I don't see why 185s wouldn't be enough to feed a 331 or 347 because it's an N/A motor after all. I could be wrong though. You already have the heads? If not, then wait to see the path you reall want and can really afford and go with it. I'd...

    How Do You Drop Gas Tank????

    Thanks 88, that does help. My fuel pump is on the left side though. Well, passenger side, Im thinkin from the front of the car because that's how I'm workin on it. Does all that need to come out if I'm just drilling holes for the j-bolts for the battery box. What if I just lower it enough to...

Me and my girlfriend are goin campin for the weekend and I want this damn battery outback NOW!! I hate waiting to put on new parts! By the way, proud to say it's our...

    How Do You Drop Gas Tank????

    Ok Im not that dumb, I just can't get those bolts out. I used an impact gun set on full torque and didn't do ****. And what do I need to undo from the tank before dropping it. I don't know if the fuel pump needs to be undone or what. Thanks for any replies. Oh yeah and the reason I'm dropping...

    Installed Mgw Shifter **pics**

    Does anyone else think these knobs are WAY overpriced? I mean, they are REALLY nice. But not for $60 + shipping IMO. And the "GRIPPER" knobs are 40 + shipping. I want that cobra knob BAD but I can't bring myself to pay that much for something that requires 10x less to produce. I'd pay 35 for the...

    Anyone running tailpipes with a 275 or larger tire?

    Ok, 275 is really close to 10.5. I'm going with 255 next because that's the closest to a 10inch tire.

    Anyone running tailpipes with a 275 or larger tire?

    I have 275s. Came with the car. When I put on my new full exhaust I noticed that these tires had to go. There is about an inch of free space. What is a 275 in inches?

    OPTIMA-vs-ORBITAL

    I found this battery at Summit while purchasing my hood pins and battery relocation. Is it the same? It says it can be mounted anywhere in any direction and has the "6 pack" look. It's also only 99.99 whereas the optima is like 120-140 depending on where you buy it? Who should I go with and why...

    guys with 6al's come in

    I got mine on the firewall. exact middle. Drilled four holes screwed it on. Fired her up and love the location. Oh yeah, mine IS carb'd and the relocation is going down whenever summit delivers the goods. Waiting for parts is worse than waiting for christmas, swear to god.

    Step By Step Orange Peel Eliminator

    Sounds good, hey Paul, where are you located. I'm in the middle, well closer to the end of my prep work and looking for a place to do my paint job. Going for BLACK btw. Also about my prep work. I have been finishing each piece with 600grit on the primer. I've been using a regular sandable...

    Installed Mgw Shifter **pics**

    Sorry, but why did u have to take out your console? I plan one the MGW as well. And the "sport handle" of course. But I won't go with their knob. They're pretty but expensive. I'd rather have a stock-style knob. That cobra does look awesome though.

    Valve Float and PV clearance...

    I had my heart set on AFRs for the longest time, but I kept buying the less expenive mods. Now that Ebrock has put out a new head with better flow #s and a $300-400 difference in price I think I am going with them. I've got 240 duration and 544 lift with my cam, so I know with AFR I was...
