Oh, and one other thing: Lotsa money. So, you didn't seriously mean chirp the tires at 80? Ok then. Start with headers, nest an intake, and while you do the intake you may as well toss in a better cam. If you drive it hard, a higher volume oil pump. If you really want to get into the engine, make it a 390. the extra cubes will really wake up that FE.

(predator) am running steel braided fuel and trans cooler lines underhood the fuel lines are 5/8 od and the trans cooler lines are 1/2 od I am getting a fuel and trans cooler flow problem due to the lines are getting WAY too hot.. causing fuel to vaper lock ( fuel lines come from drivers side low up .. across engine at 3 inches above intake manifold.. and across manifold at passenger side to enter carb on that side..) and transmission fluid to do apparently cause a vapor lock also..)(loosing first gear for 2-3 min. at a time.) (trans cooler lines go up from C-6 and just above headers on passenger side to front mounted cooler) thoughts on covering these lines with another shield.. and cutting wheel wells out next to headers and putting in a mesh of some type.. also am getting oil seepage from a after market dipstick at place it enters oil pan. any ideas on a sealant.. phil ------------------------------ End of perf-list Digest V2000 #100 ********************************** ---------------------------------------------------------- Ford Truck Enthusiasts Performance, Hot-Rod and Custom Truck List Send posts to perf-list ford-trucks.com If you ever want to remove yourself from this mailing....
