    Who makes a timing cover / water pump bolt kit for 94-95 GT's???

    Shoot me an auction number and I'll interrogate the poor guy if you'd like. :) As a rule, I have found my S/S vendors unwilling to provide any guarantee of tensile strength in any bolt that wasn't outrageously expensive. Most of my opinions are based on experience out in the "garage lab"...

    Think I solved my motor issue

    You were .100 too long with the new 1.7 rockerarms? Or were you not getting the valves closing properly all last year? In any case, here's hoping you get way down into the 13s this year.

    Who makes a timing cover / water pump bolt kit for 94-95 GT's???

    I have a little bit of experience with S/S fasteners. (For years, I polished them and sold them for 50's streetrod trucks). Anyway, a few things you should be aware of if you use them on your engine (or any other high strength application). Most of the S/S bolts you will find for sale retail...

    Subframe connector install $?

    Are there any particular brand SFCs that are easier or harder than normal to install? Or are they all about the same?

    AFR-FTI-Edelbrock Combo Questions

    Old enough that my first car came with an engine larger than a 427, and it wasn't old. Cars and trucks had steel dashboards, and we didn't need no seatbelts, cause we weren't sissies. Didn't anybody ever teach you to be nice to old people Dave? :rlaugh:

    Help me shop (heads)

    I'm hardly an expert, but it seems to me the Ford heads will be way to close in price to even consider once you get good springs. Not to mention the money you might have to spend to make up for the HP you left on the table by choosing an inferior flowing head. If you read the various forums...

    AFR-FTI-Edelbrock Combo Questions

    Dave- Thanks, I couldn't possibly ask for a more thorough explanation than you just provided. Thanks for taking the time to be so thorough. Grady has already offered to give be an assist. I have every intention of ripping off his base tune, or just using the Cobra file if that's what he...

    Dyno Comparison Vortech SQ vrs KB Blowzilla

    The KB does max HP is at a higher RPM than the Vortech? That's not typical at all is it? That's most likely the camshaft difference right? I have a feeling the Vortech is going to sail through 450HP with a cam. In any case, looks like a couple very fun rides. :nice:

    AFR-FTI-Edelbrock Combo Questions

    "Follow what Dave is telling you." There's a good chance I will once I know for sure what he did. I'm sure he'll check in when he can. I got the info off a spreadsheet of Grady's. I'm not at all certain what the last combo actually was. I'm pretty sure he was struggling for some time to...

    AFR-FTI-Edelbrock Combo Questions

    Apologies in advance for this novel. On the advice of you guys, I bought an AFR165-FTI Cam-Edelbrock Performer combo from Dave aka Rootus, the artist formerly known as the Hairy Canary. His car was very close to mine, with only a few very minor differences. (i.e. longtubes vs shorties). I...

    New heads + 1.6rr's = more piston valve clearance?

    You intended to use some clay and measure them anyway right? In the event you make yourself some canted valve 2.02 heads, "the guy" will turn on you like a pet wolverine. Especially when you are telling his boss you'd like some free heads. First he'll get amnesia. Next he'll tell you any...

    Need help on saving money???

    He's using reasonable numbers then. Don't concern yourself with inflation too much. About all you can do about inflation is increase the amount of your investment each year. I started investing with $1000. Keep at it, and not so many years down the road your portfolio is likely worth more...

    Need help on saving money???

    That would require an average annual return of about 17%. That is not a reasonable expectation. And I assure you they won't guarantee it in writing. Don't invest a dime with anyone that blows smoke up your butt. They're likely working on commission. 10% return is a far more reasonable...

    Tweecer-Dummy has a few questions.

    http://eecanalyzer.webhop.net/ That download section that redirects to fordfuelinjection.com is exactly what I was looking for! Lots of textbook style EEC tech primers there. I need to read those a couple times before I even think of looking at a datalog. blksn Yes I understand it is...

    Need help on saving money???

    A lot of great advice given already. It really does come down to having a plan, and discipline. "Pay yourself first" is a tired old cliche that really works. My wife and I started saving the day we got married, and we didn't have a pot to p*** in. I remember how ridiculous it seemed to save...

    Tweecer-Dummy has a few questions.

    If it's not too much trouble, I would appreciate that very much. Here's what I'm thinkin I'd like to do since I'm 7,000 miles away from my car, and I got some free time almost everyday: 1. I'd like to spend the next couple months reading the resources mentioned in this thread. I think the...

    "get your self a copy of eec analyzer" EEC Analyzer is a book? A Ford shop Manual?

    Tweecer-Dummy has a few questions.

    OK, suppose I've decided to build a wicked NA 302 and tune it with the Tweecer R/T. I've discovered a wealth of random information on the net concerning EEC and the Tweecer. Ready to commit some serious study time so I can learn to finally become a good tuner. I have a very basic knowledge...
