    Looking for Idea/advice on build

    I have been shaking my head for the last year with some of these parts decisions. This stuff gets expensive, I get that and that is why I am not currently building a new motor. I want to wait until I can do it right. -do not skimp on parts to save a few hundred bucks -don't skimp on needed...

    Build Thread My Never Ending 89 Notch Thread

    Wasn't a fan of the black rivet in panels originally, but it actually works pretty well with your color scheme. Looks pretty good I think! Joe

    Build Thread The Hoopty Chronicles - New House, New garage, New Car?

    It cut my mowing time in half, not counting my trimming. 1 acre last week in 45 minutes. We have our yard divided by a fence, 12 trees, play set, trampoline, brick smoker and storage shed to work around. Joe

    Beautiful place. Save yourself some coin and invest in a zero turn. Doesn't have to be a 10k unit, one of the 3k ones will work. It will save you tons of time cutting that yard. Last summer i upgraded from a 42" lawn tractor to a 54" zero turn and the difference is amazing in the amount of...

    Fox Spark plug heat range

    I think you already mentioned these, but I think this is as close as you are going to get. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/ngk-4922/ If you stick to your 100-125 goal, you will probably be fine, but you could always call Ngk and ask. Joe

    Fox Spark plug heat range

    I think you are right, they don't make that plug any hotter than a 7. I am sure you could get away with another style plug in the 6 heat range on such a small shot. In my opinion, the worst that could happen from a too cold plug is it could foul out quickly. Too hot though could lead to a...

    Fox Spark plug heat range

    Those are a projected tip, not what you want for nitrous use. Not sure if it would be considered a "race" plug or not. They may not make a stock heat range plug in the r5671 style, which would make sense considering they are a race, power added oriented plug. If you are going to spray the...

    Fox Spark plug heat range

    The R5671 is the plug type, the number on the end is heat range. Stockish should be a 5, so if you are going to spray it, I would go at least one colder for starters, so a R5671-6. From my research, the non protruding plugs were better for nitrous use, so yes, i would recommend it. Basically...

    Steering wheel on a '93

    In the same boat here. To me the extenders made me sit too high and my head rubs. I took the tracks off and redrilled the mounting holes for the seats and gained a little room. Not as much as the extenders but also let me sit lower. Joe

    Fox Spark plug heat range

    Just bought another set of R5671A-7's, which are 2 steps colder I believe. For a 10.8:1 331 with a 100-125 shot. Believe these may still be a little hot and might bump to an 8 next. I think NKG in a stock heat range is around a 5. Here are the NKG 7's vs 3924's. Joe

    Would like some opinions on HP

    Just to echo, probably 425 or so.

    Fox What is the hardest part you ever had to track down?

    Sure is! That wasn't around 8 years ago when I did my 5 lug swap. Good find! Joe

    Steering wheel on a '93

    I have to agree. I am not fond of the non airbag wheel. Does the none airbag wheel make it easier to swap to an aftermarket wheel too? Joe

    Fox What is the hardest part you ever had to track down?

    I like those, but they still fetch a big price used. I really think they ought to come down in price with all the other options out there. Is that a series 4? If you want to part with it reasonably, send me a PM, lol. Joe

    Fox What is the hardest part you ever had to track down?

    On a V8 car there is a brass fitting where the brake hard lines go to rubber over the rear end. When Ford still made this they were like $9. I found a NOS at a Ford dealer online, dude wanted $80 for it. I ended up laying under a car at a grown up junkyard and getting one for $5. Joe
