    Edelbrock Head Selection

    I am planning a 347 build and need advice from Edelbrock users on head selection. On the Summit website is EDL-60259 the correct non-smog performer RPM head for a 347 application? If not please offer advice from your experience. It will be a semi-daily driver with a safe tune, not a race car so...

    How to seperate my tailpipes from my mufflers?

    I used a Dremel with a cutting wheel, made three cuts longways (relative to the pipe) 120 degrees apart which released the clamps compression onto the inner pipe, twisted and realigned, reinstalled clamps. Worked perfect for me. vann

    Cervinis LX Bodykit

    "NOT TECH", not tech either, just a cheap post incrementer, sounds like the help he'd get at hardcore50 Mod's - please reduce my post count by 1, this shouldn't count. Sorry "the Beast" owner, the guy just wants some help, guess i need more coffee.

    Front Struts

    I agree with all above. That's how I did it when I put in my bilsteins. Not to be an ass but you do know to support the a-arm from below so the spring doesn't launch right? Good luck, just hope your not puttin in the cheap kyb's. fox

    Bilstein vs Tokico Iluminas

    Does anybody have experience with both? Shox.com has Bilsteins for $469 for all four, and the Tokicos for $559 for all four. Currently I have frpp "b" springs with all poly isolators and worn-out kyb's that ride like a solid rock. I want a controlled, semi-comfortable ride for a daily driver...

    Understanding Alignment Marks

    Can somebody please explain the alignment marks and proper alignment of them when installing a flywheel, pressure plate and drive shaft? I would guess that you attempt to match them as closely as possible. I have a FRPP flywheel, King Cobra pressure-plate/clutch and FRPP aluminum drive shaft...

    T5 Vibration Troubleshooting Help

    Motor mounts are a possibility but I'd expect the motor to deflect (maybe the fan would hit the shroud) pulling from 1200-4000 rpm but it pulls strong and smooth thru that range. It will probably come apart tomorrow. Any other suggestions? Back to the original question, is it ok to start it...

    T5 Vibration Troubleshooting Help

    AOD to T5 Done, Won't go into Gear

    Looking in thru the fork cover, the t-out bearing is against the PP fingers without touching the clutch pedal. What will it act like if the cable is too tight? I do have a copy of the 50stangs tech article on clutch adjustment as a reference but it's still kicking my ass. vann

    AOD to T5 Done, Won't go into Gear

    The T5 shifts like it should with the engine off. I'm going to pull the fork cover and attempt to verify the throwout bearing is working correctly. If I have the cable too tight won't it shift easily but not fully engage when the pedal is released? vann

    AOD to T5 Done, Won't go into Gear
