    Hello, I am looking for ways to give me more power on my motor. It's a 1986 5.0 HO that has been converted to carburated. I was told I could get a timing chain and gear set that can be advanced by 4 degrees... Is this gonna benefit me or just hurt my camshaft? I have a Ford Racing F303 hydraulic...

    I've got a 1970 Ford Torino GT with a 351 Cleveland 4V paired with a FMX cuise-o-matic transmission. Over the winter I overhauled the whole drivetrain, re-did the brakes, removed, stripped and re-sealed the engine. Now I have it all back in the car, sealed, mounted, oiled and full of all...
  4. Maverick Pages
    Hi all. So I took my maverick down for the last test and tune of the season. Long story short ran one pass, it was popping and spitting and was hard pressed to climb above 5 grand.

  10. All Ford Techboard
    Hello I have a few questions about timing. What should the initial timing be on a 360 BB? and what should the timing be at WOT? It is in my 1973 ford f100 custom. It is 100% stock. It is having a hard time starting with the occasional back fire in the carb. once its running it seems to...
