    need 5.0 piston ring info

    I run an Edelbrock Performer 289 and it's been pretty good. I also port matched it to my heads.

    Motor mounts

    Another option is to get some 4.0L mounts and make some flat steel plates to attach to the 5.0L

    351w headers

    My plan for my 393 (351 stroker) is to cut and weld my 302 headers to make them fit. I may even just go over the frame rails and remove the inner fender wells. I'll be taking lots of pics when I get to that point. I just got my block back from the machine shop so I have a looong way to go yet.

    5.0 motor questions

    Wire the pump to 87. 87A is open when the relay is triggered on 85. A friend of mine put a proform on his 302 and it worked really nicely. I did things a little differently with my truck. I used a DuraSpark distributor, a GM HEI 4 pin module and a Ford E Core coil and it works well too. You...

    What is this pipe that connects the two heads?

    What the hell? No one has some old spark plugs lying around? They're free. They thread right in They're free. Why are you guys trying to reinvent the wheel and make extra work? Oh, and did I forget to mention that old spark plugs are free?

    Bronco 2 turbo project...

    That's pretty cool. I always liked the idea of a turbo B2. Where are you planning on mounting the IC? If you're going anywher near the mud and rocks, I'd count out an FMIC.

    302-351

    What type of ignition are you running? Chances are you'll have to switch to a distributor that's a breaker point type or an aftermarket HEI type as a 302 distributor won't work in a 351W. You'll need a new intake and your headers will likely need some modification too. The C4 will work, but a...
