Gents, my apologies for the long time since asking the question. But I finally got to work on it. Saturday I pulled the tank and checked the vent tube on top of the tank and it looks fine. I then sprayed the base of the carb and the rpms did drop. So I purchased a new base gasket and that...

Ladies and Gentleman, I have an issue that I would like some help on. I can start my 351W with ease, and it will idle and run with the best of them. When I am cruising down the street and push the throttle farther than I should, it runs great. But when I come to a stop light , if I don't...

Thanks Marks73. This got the information I wanted. With the closest cam I could find, I came up with approximatly 300 hp, 389 ftlb's of torque. Now I can plan for future upgrades. Thanks again Jeff

Gents, I have tried to search for this but can't find what I am looking for. I would like to find a program to estimate how much horsepower my engine is producing. I have found some that will tell you, if I had a distance and time (1/4 mile @ 12 sec type of equation). I don't have that info...

Sorry to hear about loosing a classic. If you were closer I might be interested in the rear axle. Jeff

It is done!!! I have replaced the flywheel and the vibration is gone. I want to thank all of you for your guidance and suggestions. I have a few things to finish up, but I will test drive tomorrow night. Thanks again. Jeff

Good evening gents. My apologies for the lapse in posting. But between the holiday and ordering parts, not much has happened. Here is an update.... After much thought and your advice I went with Edlebrock valve springs with steel retainers and locks. I also pick up some poly locks for the...

The story continues.. I picked up a leak down tester today and found 100% leakage on all cylinders. It sounds like it is leaking around the rings. I did find one valve leaking( one that has a bad spring). I pulled the rod caps on the pistons with bad springs and the bearings look ok to me...

I spent some time in the garage this afternoon and pulled the cam out. From markings I believe it is an Edelbrock cam and lifters ( numbers on cam 7182 comes up with a cam and lifter kit from both Summit and Jegs), with Comp Cams push rods and roller rockers. Cam is matched with intake, I...

Wolverine As much I enjoy working on this car, ( it is far easier than some of the projects I have undertaken) , I prefer to not keep pulling the motor. The rod picture, I was hoping they ground it for balance but wanted a second opinion,thanks. Also I think I heard some where it is not good...

Time for a minor update... I was close so I pulled the motor to replace the oil pan gasket and clean the motor and motor bay. I pulled the pan and this is what I saw.. I then rolled the motor over to do the valve gaskets and I found this. So I wonder which of the three is my vibration...

After reading all the great replies and much research online, I have ordered a new 28 oz flywheel and balancer. I should have them later this week and will try and install them on Saturday or Sunday. I am pulling the motor to clean the engine bay and replace the oil pan gasket( it is pretty oily...

If you can tell me the correct way to put it on I would be very great full. I did not build this ( or any other ) motor. So I am a novice in these matters. I did find a Chilton manual in the back seat( does that makes me an expert!) . :D:D:D I am coming to the conclusion I will need to...

Droptop The only numbers I can get off it are the ones you see in the picture, 711. I read some where else , that some one took theirs to a machine shop and had theirs re-balanced to a 28 oz flywheel ( I know everything on the net is real , right). I also have seen many pictures of new and...

Thanks for the help so far. I have removed the flywheel and here is a picture of the back... I am thinking this is a 50oz flywheel that some one has drilled to get close to a 28oz flywheel. Could this be( along with a wrong harmonc balancer ) what is giving me my vibration? I don't have a...

I don't know what flywheel is in there, I didn't build it. I hope to take it off on Saturday afternoon or Sunday to find out. I am also thinking about changing the harmonic balancer at the same time. Don't know what that is either. From a receipt I got with the car, it states the motor is a...

The u joint bolts are tight, pull the drive shaft. Pull the shifter boot, handle, lever, speedo cable, all tight. Loosen the tranny mount, put jack under bell housing, remove cross member and take bolts out between tranny and bell housing( all tight). Lower trans to floor, look in through...

It happens all the time. Clutch out, have not tried it engaged. I have only ran it in first and second, too bad of a vibration to try any more than that. Same RPM( although that is a guess, I don't have a tach yet.) And even in neutral. When I stand next to the motor and rev it, I don't notice...

Thanks for the reply's so far. I will get out to the garage tomorrow and try out the suggestions that were mentioned. My gut feeling is a bad pilot bearing/bushing. It just seems like ,to try and explain it ,when you are using a air grinder to ream out a hole and it starts to bounce around the...

Gents, I have a question for the collective. Upon purchase of my Mustang I noticed the speedometer did not function. I did a little surfing on the net and came to the conclusion the speedo gear had came loose from the shaft of my T5 transmission. So I ordered a new clip and set off on pulling...
