    UPDATE 10/1/13 - Seatle/Tacoma area meet and greet - Week of Oct 7, 2013

    13 coins is always great. There's Claim Jumpers as well. I'm down with anything. This would be a nice way to end the cruising season. Here's to hoping for some Indian summer weather. This has been the best summer weather I can remember for a long time!

    Props and Ponies 2013

    Just a reminder about the Mustang car show next weekend up at the Skagit Airport. There is a drive on Friday starting at the Mukilteo Ferry dock going to Bellingham via the Whidbey Island coastline and Chucanut drive. Should be a good time if the weather holds out! Hope to see you there...

    '73 351c 4V Performance rebuild advice

    Very similar to my to my engine build. The flat top pistons should get you there as far as compression goes. I would increase the cfm to a 750. I used a stock oil pump. I've been told the high volume units can empty the oil pan so quick as the pump can starve of oil and drop pressure just when...

    Sleeving Crack Cylinder- Popular Hot Rodding

    I purchased a 26' Reinell Express Cruiser that had twin Iron Duke 2.5 liter mercruisers and one needed overhauled. I found a cracked cyl. due to the previous owner running it without a t-stat. He ran it hard then shut it off, fired it right back up and cracked the cyl. I pulled the engine and...

    best carb for 73 351c q-code

    I have a "Trans-Dapt 2199" square carb to motorcraft speadbore carb adapter. It worked surprisingly well. I used an edlebrock 750 on it and throttle response seemed vastly superior to the 4300. I just switched from the stock intake to the RPM-Air gap manifold and no longer have a use for it. It...

    Original forged aluminum wheels installed

    Thanks a lot! These are original FORD wheels that were optional in 1973. Since they were only offered in '73 they can be a little hard to find. I purchased these off ebay for under $200.00 + about 80.00 shipping from Illinois, I think. They came with faded center caps, and a few broken off...

    They're B F Goodrich Radial T/A's. 215-60-14's on the front and 225-70-14's on the rear. The wheels are 14x6. Now to list the Magnums for sale... Thanks for all the compliments everyone!!

    OK now I have an oil question

    Normal operation. When the oil warms up, it thins out. This is the cause of the decrease in oil pressure. I like 20w-50, but you'll see about the same results.

    No oil pressure

    That would be lifter noise from them collapsing due to lack of oil pressure keeping them pumped up. I'll bet your oil pump drive shaft is twisted and broke. That was the failure mode on my engine. Happened at freeway speed. Made terrible noises that steadily got worse. No knocking just a...

    More Edlebrock questions

    I don't think there are two different air-gap manifolds for the Cleveland. There is the Perfromer RPM but its for 351 w block. Note the thermostat outlet on the manifold. Go with the RPM air-gap and dont look back! :)

    73 Mach 1 Report

    Looks like a well optioned Mach 1. It looks like a standard deluxe report even though it says Elite. The Elite report breaks down the car to how many were produced with the exact same options as your particular car. I want to get one for my Mustang. I'm rolling with the magnums right now, but...
