    I spoke with Dart about the power capability and they claimed that they haven't found the limits yet. I even got it in writing. :shrug: Besides, even with the turbo setup and dry sump, I should break even in weight over the nose compared to where I'm at now (1758# front weight).

    You're right Joe. The Dart aluminum 351w block has a max recomended bore of 4.165". That gives a max cid of 463 (4.165" x 4.25"). Thanks for catching that.

    It might limit any possibilty for a rebuild in the future though. Personally though, the next rebuild will be the last thing on my mind once there's a dry-sumped turbocharged 427 aluminum engine boosted to nearly 30 psi under the hood. I'd considered maxing the cubes, but I'm stopping at 427...

    Because the alt is capable of putting out so much juice, a regulator must be in place for times when the battery doesn't need the power. This keeps the battery from being overcharged and the alt from being overly taxed. A quick way to get an idea of how it's working is to check the voltage...

    Ahh, so you and I are basically in the same boat. The Dart aluminum 351W block, 9.5" deck. With a 4" stroke and 4.125" bore, you're looking at 427 cid or 7.0L. Dart says the block is good for a 454 max cid (4.125" x 4.25").

    RC, An "alternator shop" is a shop that works on alternators, duh. ;) I would be surprised if you didn't have an alternator/starter shop in so.fl. It's basically just a shop that deals specifically with those two devices. The local shop (when I lived in AZ) would rebuild (and rewind) an...

    Definately sounds like a cool project (my plan is an aluminum block knocked out to 427 with a big turbo), but what size of turbo are you planning. With 450+ cid, you really can't run a "small" turbo as the displacement requires the higher flow. At that size, I'd guess you're looking at the...

    Actually, you should be able to. Sometimes it's the simple solution right in front that you don't see. Anyways, if the company doesn't honor the warranty, be sure to have them send it back.

    It's actually pretty easy to do. Matter of fact, if you want to supply me with the alternator RC, I'll strip it and chrome it or powdercoat it locally. You pay shipping and the cost for whatever coating you want.

    Get your new alternator and then head down to the alternator shop. Have them check the voltage regulator. It may be over boosting the thing. My experience with chrome alternators has been less than pleasant (this was on one of my old trucks). The best solution was to obtain a new oem...

    Finally Ordered Gears

    Interesting. I thought 3.08s and 3.27 were the only stock gearsets for 94-95's.

    emergancy brake light

    Do you really want me to answer that? Anyways, I'm serious. You're comment about braking and acceleration is the main clue. It's shifting the fluid back and forth causing the light to go on and off. The master cylinder doesn't have to be very low to trip that sensor. You'd be...

    Verified Intake and Hood Clearance Combo's

    If you look at that pic, you'll see a panel type K&N up by the firewall. Originally, Roush designed these to work with cowl induction hoods that sealed to the filter. The hoods are rare (only 20 something made) but another owner of one of these intakes has been working with a fiberglass shop...
