    Oil choice for after break in period.

    Yeah a high dollar$ hi power motor run what builder recommends, but the OP is basically doing a stock build with min.upgrades and for that he will get more miles out of running synthetic after break in oil and rings will be set. I turned 316,000 miles on my stock 5.0 and only use synthetic, with...

    Oil choice for after break in period.

    I don't get why everybody is afraid of synthetic oil after break in. All new cars run it from day one. If you run a roller cam,roller rockers you don't need zinc additives in your oil,that's for flat tappet cams.

    I think Mac had the separate flanges like those. People had a hard time reinstalling them due to warpage.

    Discussion on mild budget build/ top end

    Right here in the state of Nevada I can buy a gt40 upper and lower intake with the 65mm tb from pic a part for less then $200 US dollars. The gt 40 heads for $125 pair. That's why I wouldn't have bought what you did.

    Discussion on mild budget build/ top end

    In a perfect world you would have asked advice on that intake and tb.before purchasing them. Most everyone here would have told you to skip them. I don't know the Canadian market but here in the USA for $400 you could have got the explorer intake,tb,and maybe the gt40 heads. You would have been...

    Bad Vibration

    You can mark the balancer with white paint , one line from center out, drive it awhile and if you see outer ring moved even a fraction then the balancer needs to go. Shop the balancer at rockauto,lmr,cj pony,and amazon.

    Bad Vibration

    If you can do the work yourself,then get new motor and trans mounts,they look toasted. Then if the vibration still exist look into driveshaft balancing,or the harmonic balancer. You got it cheap for a reason. Or as my uncle Tony use to say " you get what you paid for"...

    351W/5.8 EFI intake manifolds fading away...

    I wouldn't be worried what intakes are available for a 351w I would worry that you are putting 170 heads on a 351w. Ported or not they are not going to do that 351w any justice. Please talk with an engine builder before you buy anything else.
