    Intake Swap

    Hello all, So I swapped Intakes from an RPM air gap for 351C, to a Blue Thunder and seemed to have lost some bottom end. I am running a Pro-Systems carb. Is there anything I can try doing to get some of the bottom end back or is this just nature of the beast?

    Seats not Level

    Usually the backrest is bent from years of getting in and out. If it is that you can try bending it back. Its not east though!!

    1973 FMX transmission conversion

    I had my FMX rebuilt with shift kit and upgraded parts and it works AWESOME!! My tranny guy said stick with it there is no benefit to C6 over FMX, and he has been rebuilding trannys since the 60's.

    Ford vs CHI vs AFD vs TFS heads for Stroker

    I have 450 hp with just a roller cam, blue thunder intake and iron CC 4v heads. Not even stroked. But mind you the power band is in the middle of RPM curve, so the bottom isn't as tough as it could be. But it is still a tire burner either way!!

    FMX or C6

    The only aftermarket part you can't get is an aluminum pan. My builder had no problems finding performance parts, or a shift kit for my FMX. My FMX is very strong and is holding up to 475 hp just fine after I had my builder go through it. And he only charged me $800 for the rebuild with parts...

    Heater core leaking ? ?

    If it is coming out with the condensating water from the heater box I would say so. Unfortunately I cannot think of any other way to check. If your coolant level is dropping and that's the only place you see coolant, then it's probably heater core. Maybe check the passenger side floor for...

    thoughts on aftermarked nasa hood

    I plan on getting one at some point. The only couple things I have heard is that sometimes you have to bow them to your fenders, and that they do not come welded at the seams. That you have to fit it and then plug weld some places around the pinch or crimp of the outer layer to the inner layer...

    351c 3 Speed Fastback

    I still believe they all need love, For $7,000 it's not horrible. A lot of the original parts are still there. And 302's can have some oomf!!

    New sheet metal

    All too often this a story that keeps popping up. I think so many people complain these days that some places just take on the hard attitude right away. They like the money, but they don't like being responsible for their product. Something else they should do is try all of their products...

    Scott Drake turn signal switch

    I got one off of Ebay and made sure it had the plug on it. It was around $100 but it works ok. Not the same quality as original, but it works for now.

    Back seat insulation

    I used some Dynamat in my car, my only issue with it is that it really STICKS!! I had to undo a little bit of it and it was a pain in the a$$!! As long as your car stays dry, there is no reason to over-do it!! Clearance in most areas is not a problem.

    Ammeter Wiring

    Thats why I just opted to put a VDO set in my car. I just never liked the quality of the original gauges, I tried really hard to keep most things on my car as original as possible, but the small gauges had to go!! I have never regretted it!!
