    Cam Timing with Milled Heads

    The Vortech is a good supercharger. I have used Eaton style superchargers with good success, I own a Thunderbird Supercoupe with a Magnum Powers MPX and I had to detune it because the diff and axles couldn't handle the power the engine made. It runs 7.95 to 8.00 in the 1/8 detuned. This set up...

    Cam Timing with Milled Heads

    Got her started yesterday with the new engine. She sounds really good with the exhaust I installed over the winter. I have got to put her aside for a short while to prep my Tbird for the upcoming race season.

    What did you do to your Mark VIII today?

    Finally got mine started yesterday and pulled it out of the garage. Still has lots of work to be completed before she is road worthy. I had to put her aside for a short time to prep my Tbird for the upcoming race season.

    Intake manifold modification

    I think you gave up to soon. I am going to get rid of the y and make an upper plenum. At the rear of the intake where the vacuum lines connect I will make another entry point for the lower plenum. The vacuum connectors can be placed on the new inlet. I will make a cardboard mock up soon, I will...

    It Finally happened F7%#!!!!

    Do not put so called sealent in it. It will not fix the leak but it will plug your radiator and heater core. It will plug the passages in the block and heads. The heads on our cars cannot be milled more than .004" If you can find someone who can do it they can be straightened. Your car looks...

    Intake manifold modification

    With the cost and low availability of the 96-98 Cobra intake has anyone thought about modifying our manifolds? From looking at all the different manifolds it looks like our manifold just lacks volume. This could be solved by changing the way air is admitted to the manifold. I have two 97-98...
