    Windage Tray 351W

    To control the oil right.... but wouldn't it be safer in your perspective to have more oil sloshing and saturating the crank... ? With your example... don't you think that there must be a slight gain in HP as the crank doesn't have to push thru the oil sloshing? Any idea of the TORQUE...

    Windage Tray 351W

    Hey guys, Who has installed a tray on their ride? I need the torque specs for the mains on the 2 bolt main 351W. I have the 385 Crate Motor btw. Of those running a tray... noticeable gains in HP? Oil pressure now has got to be monitored like a hawk, as less saturation meets the...

    Seats for a 92 5.0

    I sat in the APC's at SEMA last weekend... They are not very comfortable or supportive. They are kinda thin laterally, and too wide b/w the seats to be very supportive. Also the finish on them is like a 6.5/10. People will realize they are kinda cheap. Also the cheeseball "APC" is...

    Alignment Needed?

    Also, what about steering wheel vibration. My car is dropped so it may be more pronounced... but what does everyone get at highway speed? Mine shudders moderately (new rubber). OUT

    Alignment Needed?

    How much turn do you have on your wheel in your 5.0 at highway speeds? I can turn my wheel like 11AM to 1pm and it barely affects the cars line. Everyone else's like that. The car has a piss poor turning radius as well right? Guess best way to turn in tight spaces is a quick donut Starsy...

    Good Buy??

    I saw an article in a mag on the site you are talking about. They rebuild the unit with brand new, more solidly designed synrchros. Essentially, the synchros mesh a LOT better and the power is spread across internals more evenly. I think they were located in Texas??? I'll see if I can dig...

    Installed PERFORMER RPM + PAXTON Charger.. No power!!

    Right, and check everything else too. Are you sure the TB gasket is set right? The damn things sound like a brewed teapot when they are off. You will also see idle flutter. Because the car runs I would guess it to be farther down the intake than at the TB. I would guess the manifold as...

    Help me decide on what stroker kit to buy

    To The Top Laugh Out Loud Boost is the easiest way... but look see that motor has 175k MILES! Probably needs rebuild before boost to have a reliable powerplant. There is no way to keep a small budget with any motor build out. $700 is CHEAP for machining. If I were you I would do the...

    Steering arm, replacement?

    I noticed that the powdercoat/paint on my steering arm is cracked and some rust is showing. Has anyone else noticed this happen? I haven't had time to grind the rust off and repaint it. Also, how much steering wheel shudder do you guys get with a relatively stock 5.0? At idle and...

    how much for manual conversion

    Search out for Tremec and TKO. With the SC the stock T-5 should have a tough time keeping pace and should likely head south prematurely. How much torque are you putting down? OUT
