Mill the decks. You'll get more comp gain per thousandths milled. As for the intake bolts moving towards each other, that's going to depend on the...
Well like you said, this thread has become long and muddled. I missed the part about the other carb.
I think you found the problem in that carb shaft. The Performer 289 is an inferior intake to the RPM, the difference between the two is the RPM...
25 ft/lbs ain't a whole lotta difference in strength. That first gear though would be a deal breaker making it all but useless on the street.
Almost every Ford manual transmission used a 1-1/16" 10 spline input. 'Cept for the big block Toploaders. Probably all the T5's used the same...
You can use a vacuum test for many things. Using a vacuum gauge on the intake manifold after pulling a vacuum on it with the intake valves closed...
I've got Mustang Lakewoods on mine (saved from a previous car) and if the shocks are contacting the axle tubes, it's not an issue. These are on...
You can buy a vacuum leak test kit from Harbor Freight. Seal off the carb flange with a flat plate and a gasket, then use one of the vacuum ports...
I agree although a bad sealing intake valve could complicate things. Doing a vacuum test might be better ? But then again a poor seal on any of...
That intake new or used ?
Ok, usually you'd have coolant leaks if the gaskets were bad or the fitment was off instead of vacuum leaks, but you never know.
Sorry, I was asking about the intake not the carb gaskets.
What gaskets did you use ? And how did you torque it ? If you only made one pass on the torque values then you need to go back and retorque it...
Ok, I was wondering if maybe you were trying to use a stock 1" PCV spacer under it. That will get you a vacuum leak on most aftermarket manifolds....
X2 on this. That manifold is perfect for it. What kind of spacer is under the carb ?
He's a kid. He doesn't need a 10 second motor in a street car. Maybe you're a little stuck on yourself. I fully understand all this. Been there...
We're not talking about a stock 5.0 here. He's got heads to put on it. The stock heads were the bottleneck at 5 grand. Once again, you're trying...
Ditto. Someone here has muddled his build by posting TMI. Nothing like baffling with bullshit.
Wide LSA EFI cams don't give up anything. That's hogwash. I've run them. My 331 has the Z303 in it. (LSA 112*) Powerband is 1500 to 6500. I've run...
The cam you picked is similar to a B303 with 1.7 rockers. I've run a B cam and 1.7's with a 9 to 1 comp ratio in a roller 5.0 and it was a...
