I need more hands to hold tools damn it!!!

Sorry, too busy to hang around here. Working on a 68 Firebird soft top.... for the next 2 years. Working on the 911 motor. Fixing the house, thinking of a second baby.

Alax, you found a job yet? I wish I had time like you.

svo855 is correct. Low impedence drivers will hold low and high. You can also go ballast resistors but that's another deal all together. ahhh... those Wolf 3D's back in the days.

Crap, I just threw out a dip stick and holder yesterday. I was thinking who would ever need one.

Most older cars had them in the rear. They all had tubes that went no where.

Stock 2.3 VE= about .75-.80 without boost. That high??? I've always thought that our engines flowed less than most stockers. :? For what I remember some years back. I did a calculation by using the stock VAM voltage numbers vs. air flow at a certain rpm. Subtract that to the size of the motor (100%...

The drain hose doesn't really drain much of anything. It's just incase any water goes inside the motor from the metal shaft. If there is enough water buildup then can reach the motor inside. You'll be lucky to see an once per year out of that hose.

Normally people just drop the inline and bypass the secondary pump.

The factory stuff in known to hold over 300HP.

You can get the mustang tank kit.

A headgasket is straight forward but a little time consuming if being done the first time. It's pretty cheap. You need an intake gasket kit, head gasket and valve cover gasket.

Be careful and make sure that it's the head gasket and not a piston or head problem.

Hey Mo at least you're not driving a Neon (SRT-4 or not). :wink: I don't care how fast they are...no thanks, still a Neon. I'd take your "slow" Cossie any day. :lol: Funny, I thought the same thing until I worked on one. The thing is beuitiful inside. The seats are perfet for racing yet n...

Block- Does it have the tap for the oil return from the turbo? It goes under the turbo to the block. A NA block doesn't have the tap for it. You would need to tap the oil pan

Head- The outer intake ports look like upside down "D"s
