    Need Help from 427 stroker owners!

    It is very hard for me to believe that you have encountered a problem. I aways ran a 750 dbl pump on 400cubic + small blocks and never had a problem. Are your secondaries opening soon enough? Maybe a vacum leak?

    Pros and cons of a solid roller cam?

    I also run solid rollers exclusively in every motor I have put in one of my cars never had a problem. I like working on my cars so the adjusting thing does not bother me a bit and I rarely had to adjust more than once or twice a year and most of the time it was just one or two valves and thats...

    Just purchased a 65 fastback.

    Good luck with it I also hope it is something simple. It could also be because it has sat for a long time and driving might help this problem by itself but that could be wishful thinking.

    Just purchased a 65 fastback.

    A compression test is different than a leakdown test but thats a good start. If your numbers average on the low side than you know the rings are the culprit.

    Just purchased a 65 fastback.

    He said that it is not noticable when driving, that means its running doesnt it? Wont hurt to do a leakdown test though. Or he can just tear the motor apart and re ring it or just rebuild the whole freaking thing, I would do the leakdown test first, but what do I know?

    Just purchased a 65 fastback.

    Do a leakdown test on each cylinder. It could be your valve stem seals. this is alot cheaper to fix then replacing your rings. I would do the leakdown test first. Also how do you know your battery is good, it could have a cell going bad. Replace the selonoid, recheck all your connections...

    DON'T BUY GAS ON MAY 19TH!!

    By doing so all your going to accomplish is hurting the little guy that owns a private station or rents one from the big guys.

    Taking the body off the frame

    There is nothing to lift off. If you cut out the front frame sections and remove the rear frame rails thats all the frame you have. Make sure you leave the floor sections where you cut the rails off. I hope a proffessional is doing this, because if you did not know the stangs are a unibody...
