The tranny cooler is only necessary with an auto ... it wont' affect cooling
capacity appreciably ... if you have an auto then you need the cooler, if
you have a manual then you don't ... unless you want to rig it as an engine

the 351/400m have the same bolt patern as the 429/460. hope that helps.
You could confirm this by calling a ford dealership or a tranny shop
too.

I have a 351W,edelbrock 600
performer manifold
and stock otherwise engine
> except mallory unilite and promaster coil
my problem is pinging at 2500rpm and over with the secondaries opened
i have messed with the metering on the carb and to no avail
i was told that it was the vacuum advance so i turned to all the way and and it was the same
i also turned it all the way in just to see and i pinged real bad from 1000rpm and up
so i limped back home to readjust:)
is there a kit i can buy to adjust the advance even more and am i on the right track????
it is the 47 series so i am told unilite distributor??
i don't have an advance timing light but can borrow to see what advace timing it is pulling. the guy at summit tech said it should be around 36 timing and 3200 rpm
is that right ????
please help
i am having problems with this.
thanks

Need some advice. Have a 302 in my 87 Bronco II with 2 flowmaster 2-1/2
mufflers. need a new exhaust sytem run from headers back. What should i do
to it? I have heard H pipe, X pipe, and no cross pipe. It will be used as
a well built daily driver. Here's what i have:

302 boroed .040 over
TRW forged flatops
A3B 2 valve heads (anyone know these heads valve size, OEM use)
Edel 600 performer carb.
edel perf. intake and cam
stock crank and rods
C-4 with shift kit

I plan on hitting the track simply for tune and trial. but want this to be
just a bad street truck. Edelbrock says to look for about 275 Hp and 310
torque before the tranny.

Any ideas?

What if this works TOO well?

If I get the larger radiator in there, will I sacrifice engine life by running
it too cold? Is that possible? I am using an electric fan.

The only temperature guage that I have is the stock one. We all know that stock
guages aren't the best.. If I don't have any room to mount a temperature guage,
what could I do to make certain that I am not hurting my engine?

Subject: Rear Ends and Red Line

When a new engine is broken in, you usually run it for 2500 or so miles
on conventional oil before you switch it over to synthetic.

I just got my rear end re-geared, and now I want to drain the
conventional and put in Red Line gear oil. Does anyone know how many
miles I need to drive before I can do this swap?

someone correct me if i am wrong. First of all i ran a 160 and 195 temp.
thermostat in mine and they both ran fine. i dont think you have to worry
about the temp running too low. but others may have had different
experiences. never had any overcooling problems. i think i ran the 160 in
there the longest. i got 250 K out of it with the motor still like new when
sold
