The car doesn't have a thermostat. Just a restrictor plate.

Unless the timing changed mid ride, its not the timing. The timing was set by the machine shop when the engine was on the dyno. It is a 408 stroker from a 351w with 10.5:1 compression. 750cfm q series drag style double pumper carb, edelbrock rpm air gap intake, 225cfm AFR Aluminum Heads, I...

No radiator hose leaks (though, on top of the thermostat housing where there is a large bolt that screws in has a minute trickle at times, but when I lightly tightened it, it stopped). No weird smells that I know of. The overheating is a key symptom of what is happening I believe. Could bad gas...

checked the header gaskets, no leaks. The car begins to overheat if I let it idle for too long. The fan is on (super high power electric fan w/ shroud, royal purple ice in the coolant as well). Before this noise, the car wouldn't even make it to 180 degrees... now it wants to just climb and...

Alright. I just had this motor built fresh new from a reputable machine shop. It has 600 miles on the build, and has always ran good. Today, after crusing a little bit, it started to make this ticking sound that almost sounded like an exhaust leak. I couldn't feel a leak anywhere though. The oil...

the thing is im in saratoga ny (by albany ny) and buffalo is 6+ hours away. Also, my car sounds like it is knocking. Only under load though. I am no expert in this area, anyone here have experience? Should I be taking it to a garage?

Thanks for all the help guys! Really do appreciate it! Got the bearing out and the new one in (no freezing this time). Let me tell you the horror story that removing that bearing was. After removing the tranny, clutch, pressure plate and flywheel, I had exposed the torn up pilot bearing...

really? no one in the capital region either knows how to tune a carb or can point me in the direction of a reputable shop/person?

Finally got my car finished!!!! (well, all except the carb tune that is!) After months and months of what seemed to be a summer without the beast, has finally turned into neck breaking car rides again. The new tranny and flywheel went in, along with some rear end work, and the new parts are...

The thing is, I think I may have made a mistake with the prior Pilot Bearing. I froze the bearing to get it into the crank easier, and I used a large socket over the outside of it to hammer it into place. I did not measure the 'roller style' or input shaft diameter. Should I find a micrometer...

same when I looked up the part number. The ring gear is bad and I need to replace it so I was having a tough time figuring out the right one to order. Thanks for all the help guys!!!!!:awesomework:

Hi guys, I need some help identifying this flywheel in the pictures. The only markings I can find on it are an etched in "E072079" and "F1 7695". The ring gear is loose and I need a new one (makes an unbelievable amount of noise when it was in the car). I need to identify which ring gear I need...

+1 to this

Hi guys, Its been a long while since I have posted last, went through some tough times with the mustang. The 2 piece flywheel wasn't liking the torque and the ring gear the starter engages kept coming loose. After 3 times removing the tranny I learned my lesson and had the machine permanently...

did these get sold?

I am very interested. Did you have to change the steering or starter when you ran these?

anyone know of brands that tend to be more "fitting". I don't mind dimpling the headers but I'd rather get a set that have the least amount of work involved (who wouldn't). I have a smaller high torque starter, but with these shorties its such a hassle bolting up the down pipes (and I always...

not a single person out there running long tubes on their 87-93 fox with a 351w powering their beast?
