    Lets talk welders...

    i had a cheap one and its just that. I just bought a 135 amp lincoln with gas setup and it it awesome for panel repairs. Get one with the gas! It makes my welding look good!

    Welp, the shaker is out.......

    Totally understand the HP advantage of the torker and have thought alot about it. With the 185s instead of 205s a RPM or stealth seems more beneficial on the street even if milled. Seen alot of proven 393s with the RPM but not much with tthe torker i guess

    Welp, the shaker is out.......

    yea it does work, Im surfing now looking for the article, Im pretty sure it was CarCraft where I seen it. to me it seems like the best option, for us who would sacrifice power for the shaker. Its almost free power and better than chopping into a $500 shaker!

    Welp, the shaker is out.......

    How bout this option, get a stealth or RPM and have the dual plane plate milled down to make it act more like a single plane. Im curious how this works out cause its almost exactly the combo i want.

    Oil grade?

    the ford service manual for a 96 says 5w-30, 10w-30 for moderate to hot climates. i used 5w-30 synthetic on my first oil change since i bought it and too am curious if anyone runs the 10w-30 in hotter climates, the valvetrain tick is annoying

    Cooling and tuner questions

    Today after driving around for bout an hour my 96 cobra started running to the "a" on the temp guage anytime the A/C was on. I was driving and couldnt hear the fan kick over to high speed. I came home and started researching but got a few questions. 1. How hot is "a"? 2. Does the fan kick to...

    Mystery Engine In My 65 Stang

    Id try the 351 and 5.0HO firing order, and if it runs great you know. also check casting numbers on everything:timing cover, water pump, anything that is ford. Also dont the early 289s have one less bellhousing bolt than newer ones? It also may be interested if you find an 1980s or 90s casting...

    Received Two Different Answers From Manufactures on 393 Stroker

    I would definitly say the 205s would produce tons of torque with a stroker and RPM intake. I tried real quick with Engine Analyzer to run this combo. Whatever i do it only gives a few HP credit to a stroker, anyone know what im doing wrong? That is the motor Im gonna build so im real interested...

    4.6 differences

    differences "weaker" does sound pretty dumb now. I was questioning internal durability. I want to put it in a 69 fastback. i know even the SOHCs are bigger in size than a 460. So if i find any SOHC motor the PI swap can come later? All aftermarket computer programmers list pretty much all 4.6s...
