    A Stronger Steering Box?

    So My Electric power steering busted my Alpine box. Apparently this has happened to others in the US and UK. Alpha Romeos have had this problem with their Burman style boxes too. Enough so that one can buy a billet case for 800 pounds or a complete new assembly for 3k pounds. I'm wondering if it...

    About to pull the trigger...

    So I'm finally ready to get a set of heads reworked. Some questions to as many of you as possilble: 1. Who is your recommended 2.8 v6 head porter/machinist? 2. Do they provide flow data? (got any to share?) 3. What did it cost? 4. Why 2.9 valves (1.65 int)? a) common, cheap...

    2.8 clutches

    Anyone buy a 2.8 clutch recently? None of the parts stores show one for the v6. Napa shows one but it is likely for a 2.3 I don't know if they are more available but is there a difference between a mustang ii and a 2.8 ranger/aerostar or 2.9 for that manner?

    adapter 2.8 timing cover on 2.9 block

    What's the point in this? http://www.shop-fordv6.de/en/engine-block/628-v6-adapter-stirnraddeckel-f-block.html Can 2.8 heads be swapped on a 2.9 block? With custom cam might be an alternative to 2.9 stroker crank in 2.8 block plus get hydraulic lifters.

    Larger 2.8 valves and Rocker ratios

    I know the formula porting and 2.9 valves but has anyone gone by the Sven Pruitt book regarding larger custom valves? ( 1.73" intake, 1.40" Exhaust) Also a couple years ago during the planning/dreaming stage I found someone who modifies stock rockers 1.55 ratio from 1.47 I don't know if...
