The engine in my 88 will stall under full throttle with less than 3/4 of a tank because the gas sloshes away from the fuel pump pick up. Your engine would probably be even better than mine at doing that with a stock tank :hick: Quote Selected

(i had 2 friends come over, and they werent coming over to do nothing, LOL!)im now on the hunt for a manual steering rack, driver side cobra exhaust manifold, and the correct flexplate bolts. then i get to re-stab the 200lbs trans! yay me!the carb sticks out of the hood by 2" right now. it will be higher once i have the N2O plate and air cleaner on there. i will look into using a "shaker" style hood scoop, as i feel a 6" cowl hood will look ridiculous on this car. , straight!!! Show that motor off!!Can you get 5.4 stickers for the air cleaner, like they have on the older muscle cars?I've reread the entire thread with renewed interest, and I can't wait to see this thing done. Boy, if that 5.4 fits, I know my 400 will.:D Quote Selected

Needs a cleaning BAD and more then likely a rebuild. Quote Selected

started cleaning up the engine bay Reply #248 – January 23, 2008, 06:09:40 PM new manifold arrived yesterday, and today i took it to have a couple of fittings welded on. ill have it back tomorrow, but then its getting ceramic coated at another place! it will look somewhat polished. i cant wait to see it. it'll take about a week.

started cleaning up the engine bay Reply #249 – January 30, 2008, 12:00:37 PM for the polished look, the intake had to be sanded down to at least 320grit. so i took it too a chrome plating shop and had them do it. they did a good job. the exterior feels like glass.now i need to get it to the other place for coating. i may go today, if my back stops hurting.
