FS: Hilton Boost Overlay 16# With instructions Brand new never used. $20 shipped

The wife just told me she was pregnant so up for sale is my favorite toy I have ever owned. This car has been a great learning experience for me and I will never regret buying it. Its not something that I have to sell but I just think I could put that money in a better place at this point in my...

I am getting a great deal on a set of 60 # injectors and harness, bap, and mafia, but the guy im getting them from wants my injectors in trade. Will I need to retune by just swapping to the 60's? I think the answer is yes but I would like to know for sure. All my car has right now is a non...

I have 7 bolts to bolt the bellhousing to the back of the block 3 of which are longer. Where do these three bolts go? I didnt keep track of this and Im so close to finishing my project. Thanks for any help.

My piles of parts are slowly disapearing as I re-assemble my car but there is one part I cannot place. Does anyone have any ideas on where this thing goes?:shrug: Thanks for any help :beer:

Can anyone tell me what the torque spec is for the lower pulley? It took a 1/2 inch breaker bar and 4' pipe to get that thing off and the only spec I found for the pulley was 74 ft/lbs. That doesnt seem very tight compared to what it took to get it off. Does the engine just tighten it over time...

I am to the point in my rebuild when I install my Canton oil pan and I see a problem? I already cut the stock scraper bracket off the pickup tube with my die grinder so that clears but it looks to me like the pickup tube itself is right up against one of the windage tray brackets (see circle in...

I am assembling my new shortblock and started to clean my oil cooler gasket surface and noticed some serious corrosion. What could have caused this?:shrug: My new gasket (orange/black) seems to be manufactured much differently. Maybe something in the old gasket was corrosive. I am thinking of...

Hello all, I was listing this for sale as a long block but I decided to pull the heads today to make sure I wasnt robbing anyone and Im glad I did. One of the cylinder walls looks scored pretty badly (#4) and the heads dont look to good either. I was having problems with smoke on startup so I...

I just purchased the jan/05 heads for my car and was thinking about getting a new shortblock as well. What kind of $$ could I expect to get for my stock longblock? It has 32,000 miles and runs great. It did get some smoke on startup that I really didnt like but depending on who you asks its...

Hello all, Once again I am asking for more priceless advice. I am still battling my smoke on startup problem and decided to pull my plugs to see if they would give me a clue as to whats happening. The link below shows my #1 plug with some sort of coating all over it. The #5 and #6 plugs looked...

Hello everyone, I have a chance to buy a used whipple (purchased new last year with around 2000 miles on it), 60 # injectors, a sct 2400 mass air meter, and BAP for 2800. It sounds like a good deal to me but I wanted to get the experts opinions. Are the latest whipples that much better that I...

I have an 03 Cobra manufactured in 7/02 so as you all know it has the "old" heads on it. Now it smokes everytime I start it up after sitting more that an hour (valve stem seals no dobt) and it drives me crazy. Getting my heads replaced under warranty is not an option because my warranty is...

Ive read all the smoke on startup posts but none of them have any information about what it takes to fix the problem. Im personally convinced at least in my case that it is the valve seals due to the fact that ive been running the seperator mod for 3 months now and it still smokes at startup...

I get a puff of white smoke when I startup my 03 cobra after it has been sitting for awhile. I have all the basic mods, CAI, pulley, tune, and exhaust. My tune was done by RWTD and I checked my A/F with an LM-1 wideband if that makes a difference. Some local guys have told me it is normal but I...
