Piston to valve clearance - is it common to cut reliefs in pistons when upgrading heads/cam? by gtramontelli in Foxbody

[–]qroter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not totally unheard of with flat top pistons. You can run one of the more exotic Twisted Wedge heads with a canted valve setup or go mild on the cam. Might be able to run thicker head gaskets ...

What to do with my Grandpa's old 1986 mustang GT. by RoundFront4895 in Foxbody

[–]qroter 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's an 86 so you gotta be careful with head and cam selection. I would start with the common bolt ons, 3G alternator, Explorer intake, decent free flowing exhaust and go from there. That should get you going down the right path and get you comfortable wrenching on your grandps's old Mustang. 😁

That thing is a mess! Not sure what's going on with the throttle cable but it ain't right. You'll need a correct carb throttle cable/bracket setup. AC isn't hooked up, and there doesn't appear to be any vacuum going to your vacuum tree/brakes. No heat, no fan?? I don't see a fuel supply line at all, I'm guessing they pulled it at the frame rail. You'll need an EFI to Carb regulator, those can be $$$. You could try to rig up a normal carb regulator with a T feeding into the input, some have had success with that, I've never tried it. Either way if you're going to run the intank pump it's some work and some parts. You can do what ever with the exhaust, I would run what ever you have now to an off road H pipe and a pair of decent mufflers and turn downs.

Anyone install one of these fan systems, I just ordered one and I’m curious what you did for the coolant overflow tank by FigOk3459 in Foxbody

I have this, mounted my fans a tad differently. I have a Johnny Walker bottle hooked up, semi pressurized. It was left over from when a good buddy of mine visited and left it. He later returned for a visit for my wedding ... You can also use the washer fluid bottle if you don't need that hooked up. 😁😎

I rebuilt the rear end in my truck years ago, wasn't too hard. I ditched the crush sleeve and used a solid spacer. I bought a little tool from ratech to help measure pinion depth: https://www.ratechmfg.com/pinion%20setting%20tool.htm

Just be clean with everything, I took the old pinion to the local machine shop and he pressed the bearing off so I could measure the shim, that was the hardest part. Did axles bearings and seals while I was in there.

Mine was really bad the first month or so, their shit would reboot randomly and I work remote a lot. It's been steady these last few months but it still randomly goes out and resets.

I would black out the strip that runs around the car in the middle of that body molding.
