Not sure, I thought people paid to use it an unlimited amount of times monthly. I apologize if thats not the case.

'96 Nissan Sentra CIF0000512006207 I'd greatly appreciate it if someone ran that for me, thanks.

Okay seems like the spread bore is all but out of the running. My last hope http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?part=OFY%2D6010DP&autoview=sku It is a "dual port"?, seems like an interesting concept but seeing how I haven't heard/read about it, I am guessing it wasn't a great success. If this doesn't work, I guess i'll give up on the spread bore idea. If those don't work well, what can you do with the Edelbrock Power Package (367 hp/340 tq) to get better mileage, or a little better top end hp in trade for tq. (I have a T5 so trading some torque for gas mileage or hp would be fine with me)

Looks different than the ones I saw before, looks a little taller plus has a bar in the middle, is this a dual plane? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Holley-Street-Dominator-Aluminum-Intake-Manifold-Ford_W0QQitemZ320150661390QQcmdZViewItem Thats another one for sale, for comparison.

Ok Vacuum secondaries sound better than, is the throttle response a little slower on them? My car is a manual, but not anything too crazy. I can't thank you enough for all the help with not only advice but finding things on ebay etc.

That one will work out? I will buy as soon as i read a response from you. How hard to go to electric choke? Water passages plugged ok etc? why vacuuum over mechanical any problems i'd have? thank you sooo much btw for all the help.

B in your opinion which would you go with? I know 750 is "too much" but since it is running off the primaries mainly not sure if it will be too big of a problem unless it floods the engine or something at WOT. You read the stuff in this thread about the 600 or 650 holley.

Ok a while back (I think it was a long time ago) there was a topic talking about where/how to mount a cold air intake. Thinking about it I am thinking about doing a dual snorkel type and cutting 2 holes in my front air dam. (figuring i can massage them to make it semi funnel into the flex pipes, figure this wont be an eye sore (may even look good), be a good functional spot due to lots of air flow being in that area and blocked already. Need to figure out how I'd bring it up to the air cleaner but shouldnt be too hard. What do you guys think?

Its confusing =(

What kind of power were you making with the 351 set up? I am 90% sure I want to go with the spreadbore, but am worried about matching all the components well since I have never done this before. I am doing as much research as i can before i dive in too deep.

What if I did a Spread Bore Adapter on top of the Edelbrock intake (im pretty sure its square bore). Would this work similarly to the spacers? Would this work out well? Sorry for so many questions, I am new to all this =) (4 years of working on my car and i still feel like i know nothing =), i guess you try to learn as much as possible whenever you can)

Ok I will do the 750 than, I just figured the 650 would be a better match for a 302 cfm wise. I am torn, after finding out my T5 is probably only good for 330 torque, I started panicking haha. I am contemplating just going with the Edelbrock Power Package (367 hp/340 tq is what they claim but since my motor isnt rebuilt and their claims are probably a little higher than true results i figure it would be ok and everything would match well. I LOVE the idea of the spreadbore, but it seems to be very unpopular for Ford. Its tough to try to figure out a good match and hope it works vs getting one i know will. What do you guys think? What kind of mileage will a 600 cfm edelbrock carb get (with the power package) vs the other plan just discussed (afr/holley street dominator/holley qjet 750) Sorry for the scrambled post.

Ok, only read one article so far about the 4 hole spacers, it sounds very good. I figure I would do the Holley Qjet Replacement (650 cfm), a holley street dominator intake, with a tapered/4 hole spacer, and AFR 165s. I still have to look into Cams and ask around to see what is ideal for that. I really want to make sure everything matches up well to be a good all around car. Basically good gas mileage/reliability are the priority, but being able to show up some ricers and compete with a vette would be AWESOME.(Might be over estimating but I can dream right?) I figure a well built 302 (well matched parts etc), with a T-5 behind it, and a 9" with traction lock and decent gears behind that, with all new grab a track suspension/sway bars (and new brakes), I should be pretty well set. The next goal after the engine build will be balancing the car/putting it on a diet.

Turns out I am going with a 302 not a 351 (different parts car i ended up getting which is a good thing, it will be in my garage tomorrow) What does everyone think of single plane intakes? Are they really as bad as I have read (higher hp but suck for anything on the street?) How good is the stock exhaust manifold? Worth Replacing? If so, with what?

I have heard the griggs suspension stuff is the best but also RIDICULOUSLY expensive.

Just to let you know I really hope the guy gets what he deserves, but be careful. "IT IS A COURT OF LAW NOT JUSTICE" remember that, but stay strong talk to every mustang club, go on every forum, that will be far more damaging to his business.

What do you need? I am looking at buying this parts car and want to make sure Im not getting ripped off so I am trying to see what people think price wise it is worth.

1969 Grande not running Wierd, front shock tower is so bent one wheel is about 3 inches further forward (wtf) Body is 100% shot. (think the rear trunk is the only part of the car that doesnt have rust holes through it, not to mention a ton of bondo) 351 Windsor (runs if you pour gas into the carb, only heard it run for like 30 seconds but no smoke or noticable knocks/noise) FMX trans (not sure if it works) 9" Rear Has the woodgrain clock/dash panel in pretty good shape, door panels are shot, back panels by rear seats look good. Seats are badly recovered. No floorboard giant holes from a guy who came and put his foot through in 3 places, even though it says in the ad floors are no good (jerk) Drum brakes Pretty much has everything I need for my V8 swap and not much else... what would you give it value wise

Ok so I called around today, and it seems for about $1500 I can get the motor rebuilt (1300 for cast, 1500 for forged pistons), Is it worth the extra money for forged? You can see the build plan here. I am tempted to say yes, and build it right the first time. Are there any disc brake kits for a 9" that keep the stock backspacing? (I already bought my Keystone Klassics and love them). How hard is it to set up a parking brake if you swap to disc, with a manual trans i use it A LOT.

Yea, Bnickel sent the ebay link for one, I can't seem to find any info on google about it, but thank both of you for all the help! =) Beautiful car btw man.

Thank you so much Bnickel, I like the options for the spreadbore, I was starting to think I was SoL. I know Offy makes an intake for a 351 but only a high rise one, which i dont think will fit under the hood. I have to look up the Holley versions see how they compare. I have done a lot of research on the Qjet (got 2 books I am reading on it), but wouldn't mind doing a Holley version. I like the concept in general. Tonight I will look up the intake/carb. Would you stick with the 185's from AFR (I know its stupid but I am kinda sold on AFR due to all the stuff I have read). Mainly, what cam would you recommend, it is a daily driver so I don't want anything TOO crazy.

Yea I have done the calculations for my carb. The reason why I was going with 750 Cfm, is because Qjet's didn't have anything lower. (750 and 800 if i remember right) I love the idea of a Qjet for a couple reasons, small primaries = low end torque and GREAT for gas mileage if you keep off the gas, large secondaries = great for high end, And when those secondaries open up, it sounds like god... shouting. Unfortunately, I think I am going to have to rethink the engine build because they dont offer a low rise intake to match the Qjet to the 351 (they do for the 289/302 etc), seeing how the 351 is taller already, I don't think there is a chance it will fit. Does anyone know if the 1" lowering motor mounts require any other mods? Also does anyone know how much HP/TQ a T5 (im guessing from a new cobra due to the .63 OD) can handle?
