I would think you will have to have a shaft made. Take your old one in and they can use the back flange that bolts to the rear end and then take the yoke for the t-5 and they can make the tube and put it all together for you. I think when I had mine made it was around $220 to $250 complete. Welcome ...

Mine is the 2000 version. I think I only paid like $15 or $20 for mine. I know its not going to give me what I realy have. But like someone said, you can at least put in differant setups and see what might be the best way to go. Its kind of cool to play with, but I to only take the end results with ...

How much more lift to the cam will changing from 1.6 to 1.7 rollers give it??? Thats not an option for me to change on my program so I would have to put in different specs for the cam as to what the lift would now.

desk top dyno

Well after putting my specs in the puter, it say I am ruffly around 350HP. I dont think its right, I think im closer to 300 than 350. It doesnt give me the option to change from 1.6 to 1.7 rockers. And some of the other cam specs. So some where between 300 to 350 ponies so be a good guess.

OK I pulled every single rod bearing cap tonight and checked both upper and lower. I pushed rod and piston assembly up to free it and checked wrist pin end for any play. Nothing. It's all good. It's not a rod bearing or wrist pin. Thats a plus. I know someone else has said its possibly a colapsed l...

I didnt think it was possibel to drop those through like that. What about taking a peace of vaccum/fuel/rubber line and trying to push it on over the end of the rod and pulling it out? I dont know if it will push it all the way down into the pan doing that, I wouldnt think so anyway. But I guess if ...

Ya I remember the first time one of them came into the dealer. A guy ran his car ( Lincoln Town Car ) into the ditch and put a hole in his oil pan. I dont think the car was 6 months old. The mechanic that was working on the car had to change the oil pan and check and make sure he didnt ruin any bear...
