I still have my 75, but it has come to the point now that it is probably cheaper for me to start out with another car than one in the condition my...
Only you would resurrect a thread complaining about thread resurrections. :rl:
Nice!:tup: You shaved the entire front end! And your bank account from the looks of it! Sure is nice though.
Pretty car. I was wanting mine to have a very similar look and stance to it. If anyone else is contemplating a 351c, I would suggest that you...
Yep... I cringe watching folks doing a burnout with the brakes on. If you need to do that, get a line-lock.
This is a pretty good looking setup... I would worry about the heat load on the alternator though. Definately would need heat shielding if not...
A couple of thoughts after looking at the auction... 1) I think the bright/light color add the illusion of more room than is really there....
Check Stangnet, classic sub-forum. There was a guy over there that prototyped a set of turbo pipes a couple of years ago. It looked real nice last...
Those vintage valve covers are very short and give the engine a lower profile appearance. Problem is that the covers are so short that you can't...
I took it as the piston pin was offset to the inside or outside of the block a tiny amount to lessen piston rock in the bore when cold. Therefore...
Check this out! Boy does this tech tip tie into this thread really well. That is a great link there. I am still trying to wrap my brain around...
The way I like to put the relation between torque and HP is: Torque is how much muscle you have, HP is how fast you can use your strength....
That's the reason it sticks in my head. Generally Smokey was a genius with this stuff, and he strived for as close to 2:1 rod ratio as possible,...
That's strange... I know at least one guy with a 408c.:huh: He loves it, but I am shy of the 9.2 block and 4" stroke. Just seems too tight for me....
So that's a 1.85 RR... What gave you the motivation to do that combo? Do you notice a big difference that you attribute to the rods?
Just for giggles: Does anyone realize that you can use off the shelf 347 pistons and put 351m/400 rods in a 351w? Wonder how that engine would...
I understand that a "long rod" engine will technically be stock stroke or destroked. I also understand that any engine has a rod ratio, and that...
They all use the same stuff. The difference is between C4/157t manual and 164t manual. If you have the right one for the bellhousing, it doesn't...
I'll start by saying that I like cubes, but I am more conservative and therefore uncomfortable with pushing the envelope in side loading a block...
I just wanted to see what the racers thought about rod ratio. Do you have a minimum that you won't go below? Do you have personal knowledge of a...
