Thanks for the links/pics and input guys! It seems like it's definitely something to pursue, at least to some degree. I'm thinking sheets of aluminum for weight, but not sure exactly how easy that'd be to attach since welding aluminum to steel doesn't really work. Would it have noticeable...

Steven - Thanks for the input, I'll be going with a cable for the cost and simplicity, so it's good to know that the full length headers shouldn't be an issue. Don - Thanks for souring the picture, looks like it should be pretty easy to fab up my own radius with some sheet steel. I'll...

After seeing this thread: Underbody smoothing it seems to have gotten my interest and other members as well, so I thought rather than cluttering that thread, I'd start a new one. Since the title got me thinking about the aerodynamic effects of smoothing out the underbody of these cars, I was...

Q - Nice work as always, it's good to have such a knowledgeable resource taking part here so we can pick your brain! I was going to stray from the original topic, but instead I've decided to just start another thread (based on mine and apparently Don's reading of your title) which is here.

Pretty sure this technology is already out, if I recall right, they use these type of shocks on the new Nissan GT-R. Very cool tech though.

Don - It is funny how that tends to happen, for some reason when things are all taken apart they don't like to stay organized or compact. If you could get pictures of your radius attachment that would be great. I still want to do it that way, though I may try to route it the way that xoliex's...

Wow, thanks for the pics. That is WAY different than I expected it to be as far as attachment goes. Every cable T5 conversion I've seen on the earlier cars has a quadrant on top of the pedal and pulls the cable in through the firewall above the pedal. That definitely gives me something to...

Ooh, thanks for that pdf scan, I should have thought of looking in my factory shop manuals - I have the complete set of Ford factory manuals tucked away, but I always forget about them and have typically been disappointed with what's in there. I figured it must be some sort of return/helper...

Jim, what sort of work did you have the machinist do? That seems pretty steep for a machinists bill...and you must have gotten a roller cam?

Just a heads up for next time you or anyone else with bare cast iron pieces laying around (though this is probably already well known by all) - spraying WD-40 on the parts will prevent them from rusting. Not sure how long this protects them for, but a month should be no problem and hopefully if...

Welcome man, looks like you've already got the bug and a good idea of what you want to do with it. Hopefully we can answer whatever questions you've got.

It's currently in the process of becoming a standard. Depending on work and a couple other things it may be driving around some in another month or so...we'll see!

True, I just read the parts that said "I want to take a 351W block and build an engine." and "I'd like to keep it between $2-3000" and just disregarded the stroker part because I agree, $3,000 is not enough for a stroker of pretty much any variety. So now aasukisuki needs to decide whether he...

This post may sound a little offensive/defensive, and I realize I'm new so here so it may not go over too well with some of you, but I'm seeing a lot of people advocating a more expensive and less educational approach IMO, so I'd like to offer a perspective I haven't really seen here yet. $3000...
