    Wood project car

    At first, this looked like a pretty dumb idea. But check out the flicker slideshow. There is some crazy stuff they are doing in this buildup. The wooden wheels are a cool touch. BTW, have you ever seen headers that route the exhaust out the center like that? (side mounted blowers FTW!)...

    where is the balencer located?? please help

    I have to say, I think caseywan's initial caution was warranted, although it was a bit discouraging as the first comment. Even though this seems like a fairly easy job even for a newb, cross threading the crankshaft would be a biotch - and a hell of an expensive mistake. That said, I still...

    Question about camshaft + 94-95 ECU incompatibility

    You should be able to get that cam running fine even without a dyno tune (dyno tune only deals with WOT anyway - although most shops also tune for idle and driveability). I'd guess you have other problems.

    h/c/i question

    I think that's about right. But while your in there, you might want some supporting mods (headers, fuel pump & regulator, TB, fresh set of lifters, etc., etc., etc.) There's no better time to do a lot of that stuff. All that can add up too, but really depends on what you have so far. If...

    Spark plug gap...

    They are hard to find, because they don't exist, right? Diesels rely on high fuel pressure and high compression to ignite the air/fuel mix, rather than a spark.

    egr tube??

    50resto.com is another good source for this kind of part.

    Who is running twisted wedge heads?

    Here's what Anderson Ford Motorsport tuned mine to. See my sig for mods. I dont think I added to my sig the fuel pressure regulator, PMS, or ignition upgrade that AFM did for me yet.

    Guess my Horsepower

    You mean Stangman? Ya, and he dyno'ed 245 with em. Here he's asking what the Steeda #19, fuel upgrades and tune would add to all of the above. My guess is another healthy 20 to 30 rwhp. Take my setup for comparison. I run a fairly similar combo in many respects, except I had Anderson...

    Guess my Horsepower

    tjh566: Your numbers don't sound right for a stock 5.0. Ford rated the 5.0 horsepower at 215/240 (GT/Cobra), and that was at the FLYWHEEL. Your stock dyno number should reflect a 15% to 25% drop from those numbers due to powertrain loss. That would leave an optimistic stock rating of 180 to...

    Engine Deleting Egr Valve On 5.0

    I had my car dyno-tuned by Anderson Ford Motorsports, and they recommended deleting the EGR and harness. So I let them delete it and then proceed with the tune. It throws a meaningless CEL now and runs like a banshee with no detonation.

    Little help please - passenger side accessory bracket

    Thanks guys. Good to hear from the same folks who helped me through a bunch of my mods a year or so back. Since I'm down a bolt, I need to dig up the specs (length, thread pitch, etc.). Any suggestions?

    Little help please - passenger side accessory bracket

    A couple of weeks ago, my serpentine belt bit it. It came partially off and got quite chewed up. I knew immediately something was wrong because the power steering went out. Well, I thought it was because I was using a belt that was just a bit too short, and the tensioner was past spec (and I...

    300 rwhp.. blower or mild h/c/i

    I believe you may be confusing RWHP with FWHP (350 FWHP = 280 to 290 RWHP).

    300 rwhp.. blower or mild h/c/i

    If I were you, I'd get a Kenne Belle (coming from someone who did an HCI with full supporting mods and AFM tuning). With a DD, or partial DD, remember that swapping the heads requires you break a lot of factory seals, a lot. Meaning you have a lot of opportunities for leaks and such. By...

    where to get header studs

    You can replace those with regular bolts that you can get at any local auto parts store. Just take the old ones down to get the proper size and thread.

    Rear End Gear Swap

    Congrats on the job. Glad to hear it turned out well. Those gears make a ton of difference. And I hear what you are saying on the short first gear. Ford made the 1st gear soooo low to compensate for the stock horrible (gas saving) rear end ratio. With a proper rear end ratio, first seems...

    Rear End Gear Swap

    You should probably plan on breaking those ABS sensors when taking them out for clearance. Problem is, the plate that they install in generally corrodes enough to permanently bind them in. Some people are very lucky and get them out without any problems, but you might as well assume that will...
