    New from the Utica area

    Well it might start before that, but usually the majority of the cars come in around 6 pm.

    New from the Utica area

    Welcome to nym!! I'm roughly 45 minutes north east of Utica. I go down there fairly often. Do you go to Dave's Diner at all in Schuyler for their cruise ins on Tuesday nights? They usually get a good crowd.

    Some more build ideas

    The only forged part I would use in the rotating assembly would be the pistons. The block will fail before the rods or crank will. The blocks will roughly take 450 to 500 rwhp before splitting down the lifter valley. The hci, gears, and tune all sound good to me. It will wake it up a lot.

    Clutch squealing

    It sounds like the throw out bearing is on it's way out. Also, when your clutch was replaced, was the throw out bearing replaced as well? Was it with something other than a Ford part? I've heard that some of the chinese throw out bearings that come with clutch kits can squeak pretty quickly, and...

    Some more build ideas

    Sure can. For a street car, a 302 with aftermarket heads, cam, and intake will work real nice. You can have a lot of fun with that and with a good set of tires and a decent driver mod, you can run mid 12s in the quarter.

    The New Ride and Turning a New Leaf

    Congratulations Dave!! Nice fox! I cannot believe you went with fuel injection, that is just crazy! Haha. That is definitely a complete fox.

    Really? I guess they didn't want to have extra work going back and forth between cars in different areas. I agree, I don't really care about plaques either.

    Carlisle 2014

    That's not a bad idea. Maybe have a time frame of an hour or so for people to stop by and meet each other. I was actually expecting to see nym cars by the nym tent, but I noticed a few cars elsewhere. I've never been to Carlisle so I didn't know how they did things.

    Carlisle 2014

    Well spoken/typed. It is tough to unite a whole state like NY, and it is really diverse. People from Western, Central, Northern, and Southern NY are all different and do things differently. Obviously, more people from southern NY would go to Carlisle, than all the other regions just because of...

    Sean, yeah, that is quick for a N/A car! I couldn't believe how big of an air intake that had.

    By the time we got there Friday, we didn't see anyone there, and Saturday we were all over the place. Maybe next time. :)

    Some Pics from the 2014 Carlisle Ford Show

    It was a pretty nice weekend to have the show, couldn't have asked for a better weekend. Anyhow, I figured I would throw up a few pics that I took this weekend. This fox was pretty awesome! Teksid block, ported Ford GT heads, Whipple s/c, 5 lug conversion, etc. A lot of work went into that...

    We also went down on Friday. Picked up a few things from the swap meet. Almost walked out with a Vortech V1, decided against it, other things need to come first, lol. I was kind of disappointed with the vendors also. I guess I had high expectations. CJPP was pretty sad too, what about bringing...

    From what I have heard, I think you can park nearby the show. I think you have to pay to park near the show though. I'm going down there to spectate as well, and will have to find a place to park nearby and get tickets at the door.

    Ticking sound

    The idle is fine. I think from the factory it was around 650 rpms. The tps is in the correct position? Since you are missing a header bolt, the ticking sound is most likely an exhaust leak. You really need to have all the bolts in, so the header seals to the head. It sounds like the head gasket...

    Need help figuring out a build

    Did you upgrade the rear gears yet? How about the rear control arms? Short throw shifter? If you don't have these upgraded, then I wouldn't bother with adding power. You could do a 100 shot, but you would need to get it tuned for that shot to make sure everything is good. And at that, I would...
