    Oh noes...........

    The problem with it when it was NA was the smallish heads (AFR 185's on a 408) and a very mild solid flat tappet cam that was holding it back. Even with the supecharger, it was putting out only 430 hp. Swapped the blower cam and bam, another 100 hp. I think that the higher compression...

    Oh noes...........

    Haha, yeah. its just kinda frustrating when 2 hours after you button everything back up, something else completely different goes wrong and I gotta go back in. That's the name of the game, I s'pose.

    picked up another pony for the stable friday...(pics 56k warning)

    Very very nice ride. Got a buddy with a 4-valve 4.6 and with an O/R H and flows, it sounds deadly.

    Oh noes...........

    Got the '95 running well today for the first time since mid-July. She was strong and purring like a very angry kitten. Tonight, I let 2nd gear wind out to about 5,700 rpm then it starts missing. Look behind me and see a crapload of smoke, which could be just oil burning off of the exhaust...

    Need to purchase a new radiator!

    I have a 3-row aluminum Fluidyne and I'm pretty happy with it. Replacing the radiator is very easy and straightforward if the radiator is designed for your car. I know that a lot of people around here have the mishimoto, so I wouldn't be afraid of that one either. And yes, American Muscle is...

    Flowmaster dumps

    On my '93 Cobra i've got longtubes, h pipe, and flows with dumps. The sound is amazing.

    403rwhp on just 9psi?

    A friend of mine had an '04, same blower, same boost, and was putting down 365 to the wheels. Interesting that there was such a difference. Anyways, those modular engines respond very well to forced induction. The downside is that its hard to get big numbers naturally aspirated. Remember...

    351 swap decision

    Yup. The only real difference is the intake. Everything else should bolt up. never messed with a carbed engine, but there may be soemthing with a fuel pump eccentric? I dunno, but just use the timing cover off of your 5.0

    93 gt, vibrates at higher speeds, wheels balanced

    Keeping my eyes open on this thread. I got about the same thing. The car shakes at high speeds (75 or so) and I can really feel it through the steering wheel.

    Need clutch recommendations

    I got a regular Spec 3 in my '95 with the 408. Definitely handles the power and clamps hard. Had some chatter at the beginning if I really slipped the clutch, but now its smoothed out. Pedal effort is pretty heavy and engagement is like an on/off switch. The Spec 3+ is supposed to be a lot...

    Fox T5 in SN95 question

    It should work. With my TKO, its got the fox lenth input shaft, using fox bellhousing, and the steeda hardcore spacer. Dont' know if you need the spacer though.

    351 Windsor in a 67 Fairlane GTA?

    No kidding. If I had my current car when I was 15 I swear I woulda killed myself. I had enough close calls while screwing around in my F-150. C6 transmissions are pretty stout pieces. I've never done any real research on it, but it might be possible to get a junkyard C6, swap some...

    Pulling engine

    I agree, electrical connectors are pretty specific, so those won't be too hard, but do what I did, and take a cubic crap-ton of digital pictures while taking things apart. It was my first time and I somehow lucked into getting it into running condition again.

    351 Windsor in a 67 Fairlane GTA?

    :shock: You can get a C6 with the SBF bellhousing from an old ford pickup or Bronco, if you're looking to go the cheaper/junkyard route. What's the wife's daily driver? With a little elbow grease, maybe you can shoehorn the 351 into that thing!!!

    MGW shifter?

    Probably too late now, but you can call them and I think you can have them replace the orange handle with an even shorter silver handle if that's what you want.

    whats your favourite stang magazine?

    I really like Muscle Mustangs and Fast Fords. I think they got a good mix of 5.0 and 4.6 stuff so you can get a glimpse of the other side.

    MGW shifter?

    Got one in my '93 T-5 and one in my '95 TKO-600. I absolutely love them, nice, short, crisp shifts and they feel solid as a rock. The '93 had a crappy B&M in it before, and the difference was night and day. I'm sure, though, that you couldn't go wrong with a pro 5.0 or tri-ax. They're...

    E-brake question.

    I just replaced mine with a leather wrapped one from 50resto. Its very nice and feels real solid. I don't know of any place you can buy just components of the e-brake except the junkyard.
