    2:73 to 3:73 gears in my stock 88 gt convertible.

    Mileage all around has suffered about 2 mpgs. I used to be able to hit 25 on the highway. But now its more like 23 max. My stoxk tach is a little messed up. But 65 im gonna guess im about 2100 rpm.

    2:73 to 3:73 gears in my stock 88 gt convertible.

    I got lucky when i did my gears. I started at 3.08's. I had the car down to a 14.4 in the quarter. I picked up a whole rear axle with Ford Racing 3.73's installed. I had someone help me repack the trac lock and put it in. I can rip the car right sideways like nothing with the 3.73's. Mine is...

    Mike's 302 to 351W Swap.

    Cool! Thanks! I will call them and see what the deal is. Ive also taken a few pictures. 3/8 welch plug in and painted to cap off the old dipstick tube. If anyone needs any 3/8's welch plugs for this let me know. I have about 8 more in the carton (come in a carton of 10 or so). Ill mail one out...

    Thanks for the find on the o rings. I also need the little plastic pieces that go over the nozzles too. Shipped the gt40's to their new owner. In the process of saving up for the comps.

    Made a little more progress. Heads are now off, and pending sale. Going to get a set of ProComp Aluminum 210cc heads. Cylinder walls look good, no ridge anywhere. There seems to be a lot of carbon buildup though. Will clean the pistons off next. Will get some pictures of where its at this weekend.

    F/S 351w GT-40 Heads

    Up for sale is a COMPLETE set of 351w GT-40 heads. These heads came off of a 1994 351w Ford Lighting. They have approximately 120k miles and have some carbon build up on them. So a valve job would be a smart thing to do while off. These came off a running engine. Selling to get a different set...

    Mike's 302 to 351W Swap.

    Had a friend come over and blast the intake and timing cover to get all the grease and grit off. Looks much better, minus the crappy cell phone pic. Got all new brass plugs for the water ports, gonna look ducky.

    Well havent made much progress. Hopefully next week will be better. I found out i have the orange 19lb injectors. Are there o-ring kits and plastic tip kits out there? Im going to replace them with 24lb blues, and dont want to reuse the old seals. Got the timing gasket set and reman water pump.

Oil pan is on and i dont want to tear it off. So tap and thread is now out. Waiting for the plug to come in...
