    who has a box style upper?

    I've got an old Cartech 5.0 box upper. All I hooked up was the fuel pressure vacuum line, brake booster, and PCV. I don't have any emissions on my car so I don't have the line that runs to the charcoal canister. The other fittings are just capped off. Just hook up the necessary lines and cap...

    351W Fox owners

    Cool, another 79 Capri. hehe I still want to keep my EFI when I start doing this swap though. I do want to install a girdle and full ARP bolts to add a bit of extra strength while I'm using nitrous. I also have someone offering me a set of MAC longtubes, 3" X-pipe, and 3" MAC cat-back for...

    351W Fox owners

    Doesn't the 351W use the 28oz. flywheel and balancer? Decisions, decisions... hehe

    351W Fox owners

    What are some of the best years to use and what vehicles do they come in? I'm also curious about the flywheel. Will the stock 5.0 flywheel work? I kind of like the 1st way of converting to roller since it seems to be the cheapest. After all, this will be a low buck swap for now.

    351W Fox owners

    I'm thinking about going with a 351W. The problem is that I want to convert it over to a hydraulic roller cam setup. I saw some for $400. :mad: Besides that, what's some good long tube headers for this swap? Also, what's some good oil pans? Any input would be appreciated. :D

    New track times

    I just wish I could find a nice T-tops Capri around here. Older Fox Mustangs and Capri's are really hard to find around here since we have a local dirt track that goes through them pretty quickly. :mad: I felt lucky that I found mine in a salvage yard for $300. It was so oxidized that the...

    New track times

    You never say any others? At around that time, I was driving around my dad's black 80 Capri. It wasn't until January of 02 did I get my car going. There were a few running around here and there. My buddy also has an white 82 Capri with Pony wheels on it.

    My car = Slowest car evar

    Well, as we all know, each and every car is different. I know if I had those mods, I could do 12's. His problem almost sounds like it's not getting enough fuel in the top end which is killing his top end power. That's really all I can come up with. Try cranking up the fuel pressure some to...

    Finally sprayed but more problems

    I hate low bottle pressure. :mad: But when it's at 900-1000, it's a whole different story. I just need to get around to getting a bottle heater so I won't have to worry about, but then again, I rarely use my bottle in winter anyways.

    Opinions on parts needed please.

    Ah, I see. I was just looking for a mod to make a bit more power. May just throw in some 1.7's and leave the stock cam for now.

    New track times

    Hey, those times with an AOD are quite impressive to me. I know a few people with AOD's and won't run nearly as quick as you. Throw a stall in there and then beat me. hehe Speaking of Capri's, where are all of them? I was in the True Street event in September of last year at Ennis and I...

    Opinions on parts needed please.

    Well, I've decided to go ahead and go for a cam and some rockers. Here's the questions: I was thinking about trying out the F-303 with some 1.6 rockers. Do I need to worry about valve clearance with stock heads? Should I just go with the E-303 or something else maybe? The last question is...

    stock hp rating

    I was under the impression that the 93's are the "odd balls" since they didn't come with the forged pistons like the 85-92. I thought it also used a slightly different cam which comes out to 205hp. :shrug:

    My car = Slowest car evar

    I believe he could run 12's with setup. Look at my mods, I'm still using a stock motor with a few bolt ons and I've run 13.55 @100.3 with traction. I'm sure with all the extra stuff he has like GT-40P heads(Still better than stock), cam, injectors, etc, it shouldn't be hard. His trap is way...

    302 .060 bore size?

    Bore x Bore x Stroke x .7854 x 8(cyls.) There's the formula. I come up with 310.709ci. Guess you could call that a 311.

    Turn Signal Problem

    I've got the same problem as well. No turn signals, but the hazards and everything else works. Already tried the flasher in the fuse box, but no luck either. :shrug:

    Stripping an 88GT in one day, Anyone done that?

    Yep, been through the process of stripping a car quickly to build mine. I bought a totaled 92 GT Conv. and it was almost 100% bare. Only left the parking brake and brake lines. EVERYTHING was gone, suspension and all. Wasn't a single wire left in there. Even took the rear bumper and gas...

    My car = Slowest car evar

    Something's obviously not right. Your setup sounds good and I think it'd be good for 12's with traction. I'd check your fuel pressure, timing, compression, or whatever to see if something is off.

    MAC 8.8 Rearend Cover/Girdle GOOD OR BAD?

    I was considering a girdle since I do 5000rpm launches at the track. I've got an Auburn diff already but still have the stock axles. I just want one to make sure it's got a little extra protection from the hard launches.
