There are many 'myths' about how to get free horsepower. I dont remember where I found it, but building an engine on a bench and not on a stand was a difference between like 5-10hp. The reason is because the block is not being twisted at all because it is only held in the back by a stand. Everything...

I was atching some hot rit TV show a couple months ago. they said that an old trick was to paint the bottom of the intake with white engine enamle. Says it will keep the intake a couple degrees cooler. I've heard of it, I dunno if it works or not. Some people also like to paint the lifter valley wi...

Do they make some type of a warning light? Like a low oil pressure light, but just one that works if the wideband goes to high. Would be nice to have a little orange light telling you to back out then to have to check your gauge. I definitely agree on the not wanting to look at a gauge thing. Anyway...

I like the digital ones myself. I guess a mechanical one would be easier to keep an eye on without reading a number. Just kinda memorize where the needle is and then check the number. :) I've never used one, but I'm sure they are a great tool when it comes to tuning. Good luck. And check on that gau...

So whats really holding you back now? an electric fan? a belt? You've got the hard part done. You know that the radiator will clear and whatnot. I dont understand why you couldnt find a day, work on it and then burn the tires off that night. I'm sure theres some other stuff that will cost you $$ but...

What kind of radiator is that?
Dont the 'v8 swap' radiators usually have the inlet on the drivers side?
Any chance you could change the radiator?

I realized I originally posted this ad in the performance section. :oops: So I'm posting a new one here if anyone is looking for one. Just copying and pasting. Price is a little more negotiable since I've had it for awhile... I just pulled this thing out of my Ranger tonight, I guess I got tired of ...

Most people use 'poppers'
It's a remote that opens the door. If the batter dies, your pretty much SOL until it gets charged.
Just guessing @ what he's using...

I've noticed all the ads pop up today. I've been not clicking on the obvious ones, but today I just read the name of the thread and clicked it. Turned out to be some porno thing. Had to hit the back button real quick before I had to explain it to the girlfriend. Is it some kind of automated program ...

Cgrey, thanks alot for elaborating on that more so. I understand what you mean now. But, to me... the 'bogging' is just a symptom of a poorly tuned carbs. Whether it be to large of an accelerator pump or the secondaries opening way to quick I really cant say. I would think a 650 mech. secondary or a...

I dont understand what you mean by not being able to drive a car w/ a 302 topped with a 650, or even a 750 that has been tuned correctly. The 'bogging' is just the result of an untuned carb. Can you elaborate a little more on what you mean by sacrificing drive ability with a bigger carb? Keep in min...

The heads would be the difference between night and day. Stock to one of the top aftermarket aluminum heads... are you kidding? As far as a cam, I'm not one to make a good suggestion. I just hate the e-303. Something that is designed to work with stock junk isnt any better then the stock junk it was...

Throw that cam away when/if you do make the swap. You will notice a huge difference.

I've heard about problems with that passenger side rig before. Everyone I know has had to drill the passenger side valve cover.
Most valve covers already have the boss there so drilling it should be pretty easy

I dont know if you already did something for a crankcase evac rig yet, but I noticed that summit has a kit on sale for $36.
