The motor is helthy. I just need a new front waterpump/ oil housing. Im pritty sure that that is my issue. i checked the Oil after my ordeal and when it cooled down there is no metal or gay to it what so ever. I have already decided against turboing the car and just caming. it i figure...

Thanks for the reply. Most lilkely I am just doing a Cam. sooner then i wanted to . I dorove my car home for the garage yesterday. first time since 06. Firsti dorve it around the block a few times. Saw that i needed to advance the timing a little so i did that. I got the car on the...

Tyler, thanks for the info again. I have already purchased a thermistate housing. if you have the new waterpump housing that sounds a little more interesting to me. Speaking of selling things i have some GN stuff that was in the car that i cant use. Pullies, Intake lines with NOS...

tyler, I have stock pistions. have not changed them yet. I was only thinking about a 50 to 75 shot. spraying puts a lot of stress on the motor I think my best rout is geting the chopiest cam i can get with the option to spray. my problem now is that im pritty sure that my compression...

Guys thanks for the help...like i said I am not technical. it seems that all of you are leading towards spraying. Besides the Cam and nitrous plate. What items do I also need, and is there a 1 stop shopping for these items? Wide band O2? will have have to switch to a electricfuel...

I have headers already. I tried doing the math.. now this is a very quick over view of what i saw. prices can be a lot more or less but take a gander. I am not technical nor a machanic so dont hold me to every thing. i might be missing a lot of items that are needed turbo wideband 02...

Im not woried about building the headers. all i will have to do is pay for the material. my guy likes doing 1 off stuff and i work with him so the price of headers is not the problem. doing nitros is a lot easer, all i need is a plate. I have 2 tanks already and the lines are ran. I...

What is easer to tune?

Will if i run a turbo i would of course put an inter cooler in it. Im not looking to go crazy fast. this is a street car for me. I was joking about the 9", Im not getting rid of it. I have lockers in it. Stock 455's had around 300 hp and around 510 torque. When the motor was stock i was...

I should also put a buick rear back into it and get rid of the ford 9"... I know the price is steep, thats why I Had my heads done. To buy new heads will be around 3k. I think it would be cheaper to turbo it.

I have seen razor blades destroy the defroster grid. I have used a Plastic bristle bursh with dish soap.
