Hey guys. My car has been over heating for a while so I decided I should do a flush and went ahead and did that. Coolant was pretty nasty and finally got the whole system flushed and bled it. There are no more air bubbles visual and water pump seems to be working just fine as well but the...

Ok will do. Thank you!

Hey Tim. Thanks for the input. Do you think it's possible to just replace the bearings right from under without pulling the motor. Car ran like 5 mins since it started knocking so I might be lucky it didn't cause major harm yet. If I'm gonna end up doing a complete engine rebuild, I would pretty...

Yup they are from the wire wheel. I forgot I used the wire wheel the same day and bits from it fell into the oil bucket. So there's no damage yet I guess. Should I just replace the bearings dropping the oil pan?

Thanks again guys!

Nothing in the oil filter.

Just drained oil and that's all I found. Kind of looks like thin kanthal wire bits. I ripped apart the oil filter too but there is nothing in it except for lots of gunk and carbon bits(literally 5 miles since oil change)Am I screwed?

Thanks. It was perfect before the backfire issue and I didn't even beat on it except for a few high revs while it was back firing. If backfiring wouldn't cause that, I'm sure it can't be anything serious since I didn't really beat on it but like you said, you never know, it's an old motor and...

I was thinking that, change the oil with something thicker like 10w40 and see if it gets quieter.

Alright guys! Found out the issue. I did the spark plugs the other day and buy mistake, I forgot where the first two went so I ended up installing them wrong. Backfire went away immediately as soon as I switched those back to where they belong. But now I think I got a huge problem. While it was...

It's definitely rich, it literally drinks gas and also PO did a messy job running the wires, they are touching and overlapping each other, I think I have to rerun them also. So rerun the wires and adjust the carb?

Hey guys. I have been having this issue lately. I get occasional carburetor backfire and instant loss of power. it actually became worse today using some seafoam(1/4 only) and there's a slight knocking noise. Could seafoam might have caused a damage? 302 engine with 4 barrel edelbrock. Thanks in...

Never mind... It's a 302. I found 302 markings on the cylinder heads while doing refinishing my valve covers and gaskets.

Thanks a lot fellas! I appreciate the welcoming and opinions/ideas. I have ordered a few more cool stuff and will find the appropriate thread to post in it later! Yup that was the original color. I wouldn't really mind having that but what it is right now with chrome/black contrasts look...

Haha I do have a spare S50 out of an M3 but that will most likely go into my Bavaria. I love the way that my stang is in no need for computers and sensors. It's so simple to work on and that's great!

I have heard you could just cut a coil of the front for the drop but how about the rear? Is it the same procedure? Just cut coil on the rear too? I will eventually get a kit or something for that purpose but I would like to just tackle chopping stuff until then :D As for the wiring, it does look...

Thanks David. Aside from the valve covers having 6 bolts, there's no tag anywhere stating what motor it is. I don't really care much about its originality and I'm all for motor swaps. Soon as I figure out what I have, I will be able to decide either to modify the motor or toss it and get a...

Thanks guys!

Hello guys. I'm new here, new to domestics, new to muscle cars, new to ford. My father had a '71 Mach 1 with 351w, and I still remember how great that thing looked and sounded. I have always been into muscle cars but never pulled the trigger on one. I guess I had been waiting for the right...
