    Which Radiator fan combo is going to work best for my build

    Define overheating.......how hot is hot? You sure you have the right water pump as in direction of rotation? I run a cheap rad with electric fan and 195 state in my warmed up 351W......runs 210 all day long....... Tim

    Rebuilt engine only idling at 40 degrees advanced (new question 8/19)

    Ford GT40P cylinder head combustion chamber size is nominally 59 cc, typically measuring between 58 cc and 61 cc Those heads are more than likely china knockoffs of XYZ head. China was for sure doing a GT40 knockoff. They flowed well HOWEVER the valves, seats, springs and such were total...

    Replacing TPS Mustang EFI update

    Wow....time flies...... So after the above incident where I was able to pull over in the Lowes parking lot and disconnect the IAC, I ordered an IAC and it's still sitting on my work bench. That points to me being super lazy right? Well maybe not. The rig has ran perfect since the IAC unplug...

    Replace new SET20s?

    While I have not installed disc brakes.....I can think of no reason to replace (what I would consider NEW bearings) just because you upgrade. Now if it requires welding while the axles and bearings are in place (say for proper alignment of the caliper brackets) then due to the heat......I would...

    Longer pushrod Question

    Yup, I run that cam in my SN95 EFI 351W. The only issue I had was the SN95 EMC (per the mustang guys) can't handle changes very well. I had idle issue till I added a 1986-1993 Mustang 5.0 Idle Air Control Adjuster. Ford service used them on about anything that had an IAC and had idle issues...

    Up to my rear end…

    The rabbit hole....or maybe snowball..... :) You could get away with 3.50's and 33's with a manual transmission. The fact you plan to run a C4 means you can get away with 3.50's and 33's for a while but the trans is not going to like it. It will slip, generate heat and clutch ware. In the...

    Latest Thoughts on Batteries?

    I would need 2 of these for my boat plus another smaller for cranking. 6K in batteries is insane. I can buy 30 AGM deep cycles for that price...

    Up to my rear end…

    Bit of a rabbit hole.....You can get a Ford 9 ready to drop in from many different sources. How you want it built is the question? Do you want the factory limited slip or upgrade to some type of locker? Heck even an open diff is a choice. Then with 33's now is the time to upgrade axles as...

    Latest Thoughts on Batteries?

    Big fan of East Penn Manufacturing. They make Deka and a bunch of other brands. I run Sam's Club Duracell AGM's made by East Penn in most of my rigs including my bass boat. Good price point an good longevity. That said the battery on my Bronco is a Wal Mart EverStart flooded. It's 5 years...

    Determining which ring/pinion to buy for Dana 44

    Low Ratio Carrier (3.73 & Down):Fits gear ratios like 3.07, 3.54, 3.73 High Ratio Carrier (3.92 & Up):Fits gear ratios like 3.92, 4.11, 4.56, 4.88, 5.13 If upgrading from low gears to higher, a new "4-series" carrier or a thick-gears set is required. It really depends on what ARB you bought. I...
