[joe2340]

so as some of you knew i was having cooling issues. Me and dad got the new triple core rad in. Took us about 30min to get done not including filling. Still runs a little warm. Gona change thermostat and see if there is a air pocket in it. But looks good if i dont say so myself.

[js96580hp]

Looks good man!! Love the fox bodies!

[2Fast4You]

Good project, love the color as well.

[joe2340]

Thanks for the pics guys!

[draggin50]

No problem! That was a good time! Cant wait for spring already!

I love the 87-93 LX's. Makes me want another one!

[joe2340]

Brian you can have mine. Ill take the termi as fair trade.

[joe2340]

What can i do with thr breather on the vc on driver side? Its ugly as heck and dont like it.

[draggin50]

Thanks for the offer but the wife would kill me if I got rid of the Cobra! Especially having 2 fox bodies that we can't drive!

As far as the breather, I'd get one of the filter breathers. They don't look bad. I had one laying around so I'll see if I can find it for ya.

[CNTLOSE]

What can i do with thr breather on the vc on driver side? Its ugly as heck and dont like it.

Ford Racing use to make a breather one with a chrome cover and their logo. Here is a couple I found...

[joe2340]

Thanks. Car is carbed so im guessin i should get the one for carbed car?

[CNTLOSE]

That might be the safe bet. The other one says it is universal, but I have only ran that style on a FI car.

[joe2340]

Ok guys. I emailed am and latemodelresto.. neither responded. So. I need heads for my car at some point. Idk anything when comes to this. Want alum performance heads like trickflow or somethin comparable. But. All the numbers mean nothin to me and i know nothing. Any help would be awsome

331
Forged everything lower end wise
Holly 650
10.5:1
E303

[mustang_gt88]

Trick flow is my vote

[joe2340]

I need ideas on what cc and such

[CNTLOSE]

What are your future plans? Staying N/A or are you going to boost/spray?

[2Fast4You]

What does your shortly block consist of to be able to support what style of head you can use to start with?

[joe2340]

I plan to stay na. And 2fast what do you mean?

[CNTLOSE]

What type of pistons, hardware, and crankshaft do you have is what he is referring to.

[joe2340]

Pistons. From what i know. .40 over srp. Not sure on cupped or not gona find out soon. And crank.. idk. Guy never finished gettin me build list. :/

[draggin50]

Yeah it would be good to know exactly what it is. You still have access to the guy who did all the work? Does it have stock heads right now?

Basically you need to know if the pistons are for a traditional inline valve head or twisted wedge.

[joe2340]

Heads now are e7s. I have tried to contact him but have not heard back. Sorry guys im not much help. Im lost on thid stuff. And from everything i read a 331 and stock heads im losing all thr power i could be making. Can i run gt40s for now to get some gain?

[CNTLOSE]

GT40 heads would be an improvement, and the cheaper way to go for now. Are you going to do the work or have a shop do it?

[joe2340]

Well i do believe im gona go gt40 for now just to get the more power and later on figure out what i want to do. Id like to go charger some day so. I will do work all myself. Now i know there is differnt types of gt40s. And someone said you need special headers for them? Also would i need special rockers/springs? I know i have roller lifters.

[draggin50]

I have a spare set of regular GT40's that Id sell!

[joe2340]

Well thanks to brian i have new heads to use till i figure out future plans down road further. Someday will be boosted.

[joe2340]

Go gt40s. Ordered crane 1.7 rollers for them. Gona clean them up polish them and paint the outside sonce rest of my motor is ford blue. Will be goin on soon just got the car tovmy new house and moved in over the weekend.

[draggin50]

Car should run real good! You'll notice a difference!

[joe2340]

So finally have time and funds to work on car more. Need some help. What headgaskets do i get? Since its a 331 302 will not fit right? Also does anyone have a set of 1.7 pedistol mount roller rockers for sale?

[draggin50]
