Hello again, thread number 2. I have a 750cfm edelbrock on my cleveland right now, and it works beautifully except for when you are flooring it from idle, it gives too much fuel and sort of bogs. This problem only occurs from idle, if im at say 1500rpm and floor it, it just goes. I have tried...

Okay so here is the deal.  Yesterday i left the car idling to build temp. It started perfect as usual and idled smooth. Then after a while it started to run rough, and then rougher and rougher and eventually it died. After this it became incredibly hard to start, it felt like it was drenched...

Hi guys! Now im going full stupid here, i hope you will bear with me on this. I have a small issue setting my ignition timing, previously i have run it at ported vacuum, and it has been running good.  Now i have done some more work on it this winter, and just yesterday i read an article about...

Hello guys! Simple question. Is it true that i might burn my FMX transmission if i drive with the kickdown rod unattached? I have an aftermarket intake and an edelbrock carburetor, and the rod is too short. I cant bend it in palace either so i have to lenghten it, but i havent done it yet...

Hello! I have gotten the oppurtunity to buy a set of fully rebuilt 4V wedge heads for about 160 dollars. P The only thing is, the heads are milled down 2mm. So the combustion chambers are 56cc. How will this work on my street motor with flat top pistons?  Really appreciate quick answers.  :)

Hey guys! I got a second third member for my cougar, to use while setting up my initial one properly. Although the yoke in this second third member is slightly smaller then the yoke on the t-m from the car. Im guessing this is a stock axle with a crush sleeve. Can i just remove the yoke...

Hey guys! I found a kind of cheap Borg Warner 5 speed manual out of a 1996 Ford Mustang 4.6 GT. Will this bolt up to my -72 351 Cleveland? It comea with bellhousing, flexplate and starter. But i guess the flexplate and starter are useless.

Hello! As some of you might remember, my neighbour gave me an old Holley 650 double pumper he had laying around. I test fired the engine with the carb and it ran good. Better idle than my old edelbrock, and waaay better throttle response. (I think my old edel was faulty as well) Anyhow, i...
