    Keeping the car...Dart or SVO block???

    Im making 660 now and I believe I am exceeding the power I would consider reliable for this block. Considering that a blower is realatively inefficent and eats somewhere between 15-25% of engine power to make desired crank output. so figure...if I am making 660whp...losing 15% drivetrain..and...

    Keeping the car...Dart or SVO block???

    I had played with the idea of selling/parting my 95. Since prices are so low right now I am going to keep it. But....building a new short block. I want to spin the motor/blower higher and throw more boost to it. Who has experience with the Dart or SVO R blocks? Pros & Cons to each? I...

    Best QUALITY throttle body?

    I like the Ford racing 65mm if you stay with the SN95 elbow on the intake.It is of the same quality as an OEM and looks stock. I switched to the fox setup...so accufab (75mm) all the way. I made over 300 rwhp with a 65mm Ford TB and I am sure it was nowhere near topped out. - Matt

    Reusing lifters and rockers?

    I short terms............You want to make sure that the tip of your rocker remains centered on the valve stem throughout the lift range of the valve. I check mine with prussian blue. Things that effect this can be lift, rocker arm type/brand, height of valve stem, lifter, head gasket thickness...

    cobra rear bumper cover.....

    I piced up a brand new one from Ebay a year or so ago for 240.00 shipped. It was OEM Ford too. Don't know if they can still be had for that.

    best water pump for 94-95??

    I went with a good old Ford Racing replacement. Works just fine at 650 hp. They are 50.00 brand new, a bargain in this day and age.

    Reusing lifters and rockers?

    Not a stupid question, its good to ask if unsure. Yes you can...But I would suggest new lifters while you have it torn down. A set of new stock Fords are about 90.00. Ford Racing Part# M-6500-R302 You will need new rockers for the stud mount heads, stockers are pedatsal mount. A set of...

    331 ... N/A now ... KB later ... approach?

    Having been down the stroker KB route here are a few of my experiences Choose your cam wisely. I had the 2.2 Blowzilla on a Keith Craft 8:1 compression 327, ported Vic Jr's My motor was to radical and high reving for the KB. It was done by 5500 rpm not much over 400 hp. I swapped over to...

    Sell complete or part out?

    I am not in a rush to sell it. Just want to recover as much as possible from the car. I am working on figuring how much my time is worth putting it back close to stock. I kept almost all the original parts. so its just a matter undoing what I did. I see there is alot of interest in the parts...

    Sell complete or part out?

    Im not strapped at all. Just moving on. I did what I wanted to with the car over the last few years. I am selling off most of my toys 70 Z28, 99Z28 1LE, boat etc. I actually had alot of fun with the car. I will work on listing it. But I know how people are. Parting it out may be the...

    Sell complete or part out?

    Fluidyne Sucks

    I had my fluidyne for 3 years. been good. Never leaks a drop. But I do drain it once a year and change the coolant and use distilled water. Antifreeze turns acidic when it gets old and that plays havoc on aluminum...radiators, heads and intakes. Keeps my 331 cool even under high boost on the...

    What Vacuum with cams.

    Mainly I want to lower the RPM band. Torque is peaking at 5500 and HP has no sign of letting up. Yes it seems very linear on the graph. It has OK driveability. Does not like being below 1500-1600 rpm. Low speed parking lots are a pain. It really comes alive at 3500 and gets stupid. But I think...

    What Vacuum with cams.

    Not really looking for any specs. Curious about other combos characteristics and idle quality. My cam is very peaky. I am thinking of dumping it in favor of a custom. If I wanted to know specific specs. I could use a dial indicator and degree wheel to get the duration and lift values.
