RE: 5.0 Crate motor
Well i'm glad i took time to look at your pics...I had problem with BBK bolts backing out too but that was before my wife made the cam do a moon walk threw the back of the block. Its really close to christmas to be building a stroker for my car or a crate motor!! Thanks for the site

I know but I'm so damn tired of problems!!! Plus its getting cold here and I don't have a shop or garrage (just do it outside) .... I looked at alot of crates and the ones I can afford I don't like... But the stroker short block idea is a good one.

OK !!! I stuck the site in my favorites and that is a good idea but still thinking of a good crate and by getting another motor i can use the old heads on my other mustang. Have you ever got a stroker from that site and have you herd good stuff about that place.

oh well... Like I said, im hoping to have it in tomorrow... I still have yet to see if I'm even going to be able to get my intake to fit over my tall valve covers.
with my luck.. it wont fit.
*edit* just another setback... intake doesnt clear the valve covers... oh well..
1" spacer, here I come.

Damn damn damn... So much for catching up to you. i have at LEAST 3-4 weeks til I can drop mine in. I am getting my fuel system this coming week, then in a couple weeks I will be ordering my intake/tb/maf etc. Then i will be dropping it in. Probably around X-mas.
