Installed a new dashpad, prettied up my B&M slapstick, and tuned up the choke so I can actually make it to school.
A lot of your fuel economy will depend on how well you keep the motor tuned and maintained, and perhaps even larger is how you drive.
One of my neighbors owns a '74 250cid and there's a woman who lives somewhere fairly near me with a late Comet 2-door (it's in really good...
I got my license two days ago, but the Mav just got insured an hour and a half ago. So I go on my merry way, my first time driving alone (and in...
Nichrome wire will definitely get hot enough. The mini fridge idea is one I've also thought about doing but it's more work than really worth where...
I haven't built this yet but I've had an idea for it: Take a high-volume 12v blower or computer fan and string nichrome wire across the exhaust...
That is a mean looking machine. I can only dream of my beige/orange/white Mav looking and performing like that. Seriously cool car :thumbs2:
What are PTV clearance and thermo bumps?
The 351 heads do have hardened seats (my uncle built up a 600 RWHP monster 347 for his Fox body Mustang without hardened seats and didn't run...
I agree, a full rebuild (and certainly all new gaskets would be included) is the best thing for the engine. I would convert to roller lifters and...
I only payed like $100 for the pair, so okie doke. Also: Does anyone know how well C9TE-C heads flow? They were the heads that were on our '65...
NEW PLAN: We were not able to get a set of GT40's, but I found a '92 5.0 HO Thunderbird at Pull-A-Part and took the whole top end except cam from...
Alright, that's what I was planning on doing. Thanks a ton guys!
How do I go about converting them?
What does that mean?
The 351 heads are '69. C90E-G. I don't know what year bottom end this is, I do know that besides the pistons it is stock. I was thinking an E303...
What I've read through searching is that without removing the lump in the heads there are very little gains, but still some. Why would an engine...
That would be pretty sad indeed. Theoretically my budget power V8 should outdo an Escape XD Though, Escapes in Europe are called "Mavericks".
DDB: I already have the 351 heads. That's why I want to use them.
Eh. It's a case of "Your mileage may vary" I guess. I'm going to be fuel-injecting this engine so with that shaved lump, those heads, and my...
