    cobra intake baffle

    Go to the ford racing website and then call their tech line, or the main line I think is what I called, either way. Yes there is something wrong with the baffle that is on the manifold, not even close to being large enough to stop the PCV valve from sucking oil into the intake and sending it...

    Crushed Rice part 2

    Obviously you have never visited The Best Page in the Universe. Thanks for teh history lesson :shrug: (not really). I thought this was about street racing or something. Oh and by the way check out online videos anytime and half of them are morons in mustangs taking a left turn and crashing...

    Crushed Rice part 2

    +1 I don't think the make and models of the cars racing is really in question more so the mindset of those who are driving them. There are PLENTY of reckless domestic drivers and have the same attitude as the "ricers". Unfortunately my generation is too stupid to seperate itself from fantasy...

    whats a good cheap radiator

    I have the 5.0 resto 3 row radiator. Cheap but a quality radiator. Certainly does everything I ask of it, even on hot days out racing it can easily keep up with cooling demands. Nice piece IMO.

    What brand tools should i buy?

    I use all craftsman tools...with that said I will have to say to stay away from a few items in particular, one being the 4 ton floor jack (the black and yellow one) as I had to buy a new one JUST after the warranty ran out. The other that I am very disappointed with is the torque wrench I...

    Baffle for Factory Valve Covers?

    I just took the baffle off and then pounded it flat. I put the valve cover back on and checked to see where it was hitting and then used a dremel to give enough clearance. I also had to use an angle grinder to remove extra casting material from the sides to make mine fit.

    Recycling metal?

    Construction sites seem to be getting the worst end of the robberies. I know the site I work at has been hit several times. 2" copper pipe I believe is ~ $10 a foot. Alters (I think that is the name) is in more than just Iowa and is a large metal recycling company.

    Top is done..pics

    I agree Ryan, as of late there have been a few certain people that seem to go out of their way to make negative and non-productive comments towards your work in progress and it needs to stop. I say keep the threads going and ignore the few that seem to make it their purpose in life to e-bash...

    Had to put my dog to sleep...

    I had to put my cat, Earl, down last year. Although a cat, he acted like a dog, friendly to anyone that walked in the door. He seemed fine then acted sluggish and couldn't jump on the kitchen counter where he wasn't supposed to be :rolleyes: One week later he was dead because of kidney...

    Anyone know a "one up'er"?

    I have a friend who is exactly as everyone describes, always tellin me my car is slow and why did I waste money on it when there are cars that are soooo much faster with less mods. He dogs me all day long, and it comes from the guy who doesn't even OWN a car. It is what many in the import...

    Engine stand and jack???

    Don't bother with craftsman garbage, I bought the 90 dollar black and yellow 4ton jack and it went out after a year and a half and about 15 uses. Save your money and find something better.

    Another tire thread, anyone run these?

    I got an alignment because I put in new struts, strut mounts, and control arms. Why would I want a car that pulls one way while going 100 mph. Doesn't seem to safe. I am glad your set of ziex's have worked out for you. Maybe I just got a bad batch?

    GT taillight hatred

    I still sport the cheesegraders. Love 'em. I wanted Lx's for a while but the graders are seemingly more and more uncommon on a fox, and they have grown on me.

    5.0 rebuilt : bluish smoke coming from the exhaust! HELP

    My new FRPP cobra intake manifold when I rebuilt my motor the first time caused my rings to never seat because of all the oil it was sucking up through the PCV. Bigger and better baffle this time has solved the problem. Pull the PCV hose off and see how much oil is in that bad boy.
