    Best set of aftermarket street heads for a 94?

    That's the beauty of a quality $50,000+ CNC machine. Get the program accurate and anyone with a little more inteligence than a monkey can run it :D

    Best set of aftermarket street heads for a 94?

    Just look at the time in Kurt's sig. It proves that extra head work is worth it. :D In all seriousness though, if you are putting the heads on a built or aftermarket shortblock then it is beneficial to do all that additional head work. If you plan on putting them on a stock shortblock then...

    Oil level question - too high?

    How do you normally do the oil changes yourself. Do you normally do it with it sitting on the ground and reaching under with 1 hand? Torque spec for drain plug is 15-25 ft lbs. It may not be a problem if it's not too much over torque spec

    94 cobra - cracked pedestal on crane roller rocker arms - this common?

    It's been a while since I've had those cobra rockers (crane energizer) and I thought the pedistals where aluminum. Either way, yes it's pretty common for them to crack and you used to be able to get replacements at the Ford Parts counter for like $12 for the two in the metal channel. I believe...

    what a difference!

    Yeah those intakes have the powerband a bit too high for a stock motor. When my motor still had stock heads and cam, the biggest difference came when I installed a cobra intake.

    94 cobra - cracked pedestal on crane roller rocker arms - this common?

    I've seen it and seems to be fairly common especially with those what seem to be cast aluminum pedistals. If you were just replacing pedistals then you shouldn't have to check valve lash, but since you are changing head gaskets you should.

    Should I buy a tweecer?

    I know it's not for tuning, but I think there's an iphone app that uses the built in accelerometer and gps and gives you performance data on your car like 0-60 and 1/4 mile times like the old GTECH.

    Nice Torque Wrench

    DOH!! Should've just got the Husky...lol Made in same place, 20 bucks cheaper including case, higher capacity, longer, and can be gotten/taken back at the many local HD stores in your area. The digital display is kinda cool though.

    BBK Long Tube Header Install Questions

    Different part #'s because SN95's have EGR port on passenger side primary while Fox's don't (they have internal EGR setup). So if you're still running EGR then you will either need to install a bung on the fox headers or convert to a fox style throttle body/intake setup. I run a fox style...

    Should I buy a tweecer?

    I use the BE software with my twEECer. The software that comes with the twEECer is a bit outdated. A Quarterhorse is cheaper and probably a bit better than a twEECer since it can datalog more data at the same time than the twEECer can and do the live tuning, but it is a bit more involved to...

    Nice Torque Wrench

    Really depends on the car. Our mustangs and most heavier cars spec at 221-295, other cars like contours, tempos, aspires, etc are 170-192 on the rear hubs. I never trust an impact wrench for accurate torque everytime, but with the wide range in spec on the mustangs (74ft lbs) an impact wrench...

    Nice Torque Wrench

    That looks purdy!! Only goes to 150ft lbs though so can't use it when doing wheel hubs which are usually 160+ft lbs depending on vehicle

    Nice Torque Wrench

    My 1/4" and 3/8" drive torque wrenches are Harbor Freight units because I needed them once and didn't want to spend much money. My 1/2" drive is a Husky and if I need to buy a new 1/4" or 3/8" it will be a Husky too. It is well built and I really like the way the handle unlocks with an easy to...

    Nice Torque Wrench

    Actually just looked at my Husky. I can't find any "Made In" markings on it, just a US Patent # and a serial #. There might be something on the original packaging but I threw that out. http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-5yc1v/R-100058237/h_d2/ProductDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=10051&catalogId=10053

    Nice Torque Wrench

    You can get the Craftsman digital for $101 (with 15% off coupon when ordered online) plus $9 for the case, but it doesn't have the greatest of reviews Sears: Online department store featuring appliances, tools, fitness equipment and more

    FMS 'C' coil springs?

    The FMS B and C springs will only lower the car about 3/4" - 1" and give it a slightly raked stance. You should not have any clearance issues. Many people cut the dead coil off the rear springs to lower the back and make it a bit more even with the front

    Ok, I've about had it with this

    It could very well be something in the tuning. Like I said above, I've never experienced the problem but I had a SpeedBrain EEC in my '95 since about '99 or '00 which I could tune with a laptop. Got rid of it a few years ago but have a twEECer Rt now. I mostly had a problem with the idle...

    Ok, I've about had it with this

    I've never experienced this problem you describe, and I've owned 5.0's since '88, but then none of them ever had more than 45k-55k miles on them...lol

    Yes, I am that lazy.

    Damn straight!! Them things are what, 40-50lbs or so? Not bad if you are just moving them from one spot to another, but leaning over the fender and lifting that much weight is a PITA
