    Scary Stuff...

    Yep. A lot of people dislike them for loudness/harshness reasons. To the OP, it sounds like it's working just like it's supposed to.

    HACK JOB SEE DAYLIGHT FOR THE FIRST TIME

    Thanks for the compliment, but you've got the wrong guy. This is what I'm rockin' on mine. I'll bet you can find these or similar wheels quite a bit cheaper now than when I bought them. The 18" saleens look good on certain cars as well. Just giving you a couple more ideas to consider other...

    HACK JOB SEE DAYLIGHT FOR THE FIRST TIME

    Looking extremely good. Can't wait to see it 'finished'. Another vote to keep the cobra waffles.

    5 lug drum-anyone know size or part #

    The v-6 rangers did have the bigger drums. Just order the smaller ones (9 inch seems to be the consensus), and you should be fine.

    ASAP pls! Nasty noise, happened out of town, Broken rocker?

    \ It is very simple. Just make sure you get another upper-to-lower gasket before you start the job. Also make sure to scrape/clean both intake mating surfaces very well before putting it back together. First, pull the intake ducting off of your throttle body, and either unbolt the throttle...

    Trak loc Help needed

    Did the same, and my posi works flawlessly. I thought you were going to go with the alternate stacking order after the last thread you posted? Like EMW150 said, you will need to put progressively smaller shims in until it goes back together. Try to shim it as tight as possible. Are you...

    Cam Sprocket Carnage

    We didn't even bother to pull a head, but I'm pretty sure it's a safe bet that some valves crunched. Valvecovers had not been off it up until this point. The motor is going to go to a local machine shop for a rebuild if it's worth saving (none of us have time/mod motor knowledge) so we'll see...

    New here: Some Questions

    I know for a fact that the blocks they use for the 5.0/302 based motors are nothing more than stock blocks with some DSS script engraved in them.......I can't imagine the 351's are any different. Can you take a picture of the trans from under the car? Would help a lot. Should have no issues...

    Cam Sprocket Carnage

    Have a friend that has an '02 F150 pickup with a 5.4 and about 130K miles on it. Somehow, one of the cam gears sheared/spun off the cam. With the valve cover removed, you can see it just hanging off the edge of the cam. Is this at all a common issue with mod motors? Any ideas what would...

    Weird Idle and Clutch Adjustment

    If you can shift into any gear without grinding, the clutch probably is not the issue. I wonder if the ECU is struggling a bit. Have a friend you could borrow an ECU from for testing purposes?

    Transmission problem

    Misadjusted TV cable sounds like a distinct possibility. Not having these adjusted properly will destroy an AOD in short order.

    h/c/i questions

    If you're making good oil pressure, just do the h/c/i and don't worry. As for parts selection........there's a lot. You can save a lot of money buying non-wear items like an intake, throttle body, MAF, cam, etc. used so keep that in mind.

    Rocker Arm movement

    Can you directly post some pics up here? What kind of heads are you running? Do you have pushrod guide plates?

    Subframe Connectors

    You can basically run a tape between the front and rear subframes and measure. Should have at least a 6-8" overlap on both the front and back subframes. The summit brand subframe connectors on my old car were nothing more than heavy square stock with a slight bend to it. Whatever you do...

    quick traclok question

    http://www.bmcforums.com/showthread.php?p=1416589 There's a decent link if you want to try the posi rebuild yourself. What most will do when rebuilding, is to remove a steel plate from the rebuild kit, and replace it with the best used clutch disc from your carrier. The factory stacking...

    help me on this cars value

    If it's clean, and a 5-speed, runs and drives well, has a nice interior, and is really clean, he's in the ballpark. Offer $5,500-$5,800 and see what happens :shrug:

    ??? VERT & HATCH/COUPE MOTOR MOUNT DIFF.?????

    The 'vert mounts drop your engine in the engine compartment a little bit for hood clearance, better center of gravity.........and from what I've read they were just a better design in general.

    Car will not crank, 4 banger swap

    Can't offer any real good advice, but I know the '91 wiring harnesses are oddballs; different than all the others. Not sure if this translates over to the ECU or not.

    Questions on 15x8 wheels with 5" BS

    I gather that you'd have some rubbing problems if your car was lower stock ride height with 275 series tires on those rims.
