Hey guys, I bought an 82 mustang t-top hatch w/ a 4 speed SROD tranny and 302. When I bought the car I was burning oil, so I drove it awhile and just added some as I went. Then the car overheated on me... so I yanked the engine out and tore it apart. I found out that it had been bored .060 over already w/ notched pistons, had a B303 ford racing cam, full roller motor w/ 1.6 Crane roller rockers, holley street dominator intake w/ a blown intake gasket, edelbrock 600 cfm carb w/ manual choke... timing chain and sprockets looked new, no signs of slap on the timing chain cover, and the heads were 68 mustang 302 heads. I am going to rebuild it very soon. I was planning on a 331 stroker kit but since it is bored .060 over already that was shot all to hell. :grin: I need to know what you guys think would be a lethal street/strip setup as far as the motor goes. I think I can re-use the block I have, the rebuild seems to have been done fairly recently and there isnt much wear on the cylinder walls. I want to get a forged crank, pistons, rods etc. but I am at a loss when it comes to heads, cam and intake combos. This is the first car I have attempted to rebuild and want to do it right and have a good streetable car that I can take to the strip occasionaly on the weekends and lay down some solid numbers. Any info would be great. I have added an MSD 6AL ingintion w/ the blaster coil, new alternator and red-top battery, MSD distributor cap, 8mm wires and new plugs. What kind of pistons should I use? Heads? Cam? Intake? Carb? Like I said I am really a big noob here so I could really use some help. Thanks everyone.

I have a 89gt with the stock brakes. My friend just totaled out his 96 cobra and I have complete access to the car. My question is besides the front and rear brake assemblys what eles do I need from the cobra ie. booster, master cylinder, rear axles (I know the 96-98 cars have a 3/4 inch wider axle). I can't find the instructions for the Ford Racing Kit, and I know it said something about changing a plug in the end of the fixed proportioning valve and using an after market one. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I thought I posted this last night, but I can not find it today, so here it goes again. Over the past 3-4 months I have been having an intermitten problem with a miss, it seems like it was loading up, but it would correct it self once it hit operating temp, well for the last couple weeks I cant get it to clean itself up, so I went through the basics....plugs, wires, cap, and rotor, but it did not fix the problem. The next thing I did was let it idle (and oh by the way, if you walk around to the rear of the car while it is running, the exhaust is so rich it will make you cry)and then shut it off and start pulling plugs to see which one was not firing, the culprite was #1, (I know in the header I wrote #2, but it is #1)it was fuel soaked, I checked for spark, and it was good...not great, but good. With my new info I decided it was a fuel injector problem so last night I replaced the fuel injector, but no change, so now I am done, I would appreciate any info that you guys would grace me with, the car has 80,000 original miles, and is an automatic with a rag top.
