money no object? stretched-hood (if needed) 50s or even 60s Continental of some sort. Have some custom touches going, buy mostly a "what if" of a...
modern wisdom is basically that the stock SBF castings are undersized for 302 builds, and completely inadequate for any stroker or 351W with...
how long is the run? I'd love more info on the event, classes, etc. great pictures.
a single-plane high-rise intake and an autolite 2bbl with an adapter. The engineering gods are angered.
450-500hp is about what they're rated for in a lightish vehicle. Maybe as low as 400 if you're talking a manual tranny and a heavy car or slicks....
140 bucks sounds pretty reasonable to me.
measure everything you can to see if it's tweaked. window frames from every angle you can, etc. If something is tweaked enough to dent the roof,...
Watching that video, what's most mindblowing is that someone took less than double the time to do that in 1922.
IMO, as far as quality there are other countries it can be from. Japan these days is ok, but that's about it from the far east. German, Swedish,...
is there a reason for going non-progressive? You've got a lot of carb and duration. progressive linkage seems like the logical way to help...
I'm sort of a panther chassis (read: Crown Victorias, grand marquis, etc.) guy, and you've got some great info going on here. You also...
in theory, no, but here are a couple possible reasons why it may appear that way: 1. the increased flow of a set of headers will cause a lean...
It has been explained above, but basically there were incentives for having cars assembled in canada with as many canadian parts as possible, so...
don't part it out, don't put a 283 in it (seriously people?). Buy it, and decide whether you have the ability, time, etc. to do a SERIOUS,...
for the time being, get yourself a catchcan. No reason to fuck up your car and every animal around (they're attracted to the sweet scent of...
I wish I had a brand name, but a friend of mine's severely OT car (ok, a 92 accord *ducks tomato*) has a system where the alarm links to his...
At the risk of starting a big debate, it sounds like you would be dead right now if you had tried to pull a gun on the guy. Just something to chew...
if he IS talking about the "small block ford" 302, the production ended in 2001 with the end of the 2nd gen Explorer. The last car to have it was...
I'd rescue it and restore it, or rescue it and clean it up a little bit and sell it to a restorer.
very good stuff!
yes. 360 crankshaft degrees, because the camshaft spins one turn for every two crankshaft spins. So it's every 180 degrees as measured at the cam...
as others have touched on, a well-built engine and drivetrain will get decent mileage. If you're getting under 5mpg in something that weighs less...
Does anyone have any info or sources on the way you could option these cars out? I'm thinking specifically of stuff like the FBI car and the...
not HAMBfriendly, but currently building an 85 Crown Victoria that will be stock-appearing even with the hood popped. Air cleaner from a period...
The block had a higher "nodularity content" and the crank had an extra counterweight on the front. Thicker rods and rod bolts too. Will you get...
Beautiful. Incredible craftsmanship. Probably not the easiest seat to stay in on the onramps. but gorgeous to look at.
Check the pickup like others have said, but don't worry about it too much. Unless you're running boost or something, SBFs generally need "flow"...
dug up the video of the phoenix. pretty cool. [MEDIA]
Thanks! that kind of makes it cooler knowing it wasn't just a meaningless platitude.
I'm having trouble finding the video by just youtubing "the pheonix" or "pheonix bonneville" or similar. any chance you could help me out? That...
