    Question for Ford service dept. people

    If you tackle this yourself, be sure to disconnect the battery and let it for a while before you change the switch. I am told the steering wheel has to coem off and if you accidentily discharge the air bag you will A.) probably hurt yourself and B.) cost yourself a fair ammount of money since...

    Plastic tubing inside autogage sets? good or bad

    My mechanical Autogage oil psi gauge came with a plastic line. I promptly tossed it into the trash and used the $8 dollar Autometer copper line kit. That is the cure to your concerns. :nice: Go to www.summitracing.com and search this pn: ATM-3224 It's $9.00 now.

    Why is the LS1 so much better than a 351W?

    You should read this if you haven't already..... If a 347 can put 421 down....a 351 surely can too. http://www.fordmuscle.com/archives/2005/10/BuildersNotebook/index.php

    Question for Ford service dept. people

    Unfortunatly you are out of the warrenty period. Ford won't cover it. On the upside that switch only costs the dealer about $36 bucks. How do I know? My father is a Ford dealer and I just bought one at cost to fix the turn signal not working. If yours went bad at 20 some thou and then again...

    emissions do you neeed cats?

    certain combo's could pass the sniff test without cats. Emissions is mostly about efficency. However almost everywhere requires the cats to be present for the visual portion of the test.

    I disagree. Newer does not automatically = better.

    Yet another B-cam thread, install or not?

    If you have it, don't be afraid to use it. I have a B303 in my portly '90 GT convertible and I've run as fast as 13.78 @ 100 mph in 100% street trim plus tools in the trunk. Sounds mean as hell and it does get looks at stop lights and in paking lots. When I had the Mac Prochamber on it it...

    Installing TriAx without shifter stops..

    You can leave them off but it defeats half the purpose of the shifter. They are what prevent over shifting and bending/breaking shift forks.

    Why is the LS1 so much better than a 351W?

    I think AFR has a "stage 2" like porting that you can get. Might be worth looking into. Also when looking at cfm flow with AFR make sure to check the bore diameter of the test. 205 are tested like they are on a 4.125" bore and the 185's are on a 4.060" bore. Don't get me wrong I like their...

    Smog pump eliminator......?

    Unless my sources are incorrect, Mod motors don't have smog pumps. 5.0's had them in the Mustangs and some F150's.

    Why is the LS1 so much better than a 351W?

    Most laws are not retro active so I don't think your car will ever face the sniffer. However, I am curious how much $$ you are willing to spend? TrickFlow is making CNC ported heads that still have the emissions hook ups intact....I think. Summit pn: TFS-51400004-C02 top it with...

    What the hell was Ford thinking??

    The AOD is actually quite tough when build up correctly.

    Why is the LS1 so much better than a 351W?

    Power is all about processing air and fuel. The LS1 has a killer set of heads and intake. Flow something like 270ish cfm from the factory. CNC ported is like 300cfm. If you had serious flowing heads and an intake that could support that flow and cammed it correctly, you could have those...

    5 lug conversion with 96+ spindles

    You are correct. That is what I meant. The pre-'94 Fox is .75" narrower per side if memory serves.
