Yes there is a threaded hole that looks out of place and that's were they go. Good memory IJ :)

I also grew up in the hot rod era, and yes I've driven owned a stroked bored out one. And I do agree they can be tempermental. I have a 7m bored out 60 over, 97.5 stroke and never overheat. Larger cams but not huge. I agree that you have to watch which blocks you try to bore out as some will...

^^ disagree with a lot of that statement. As long as you keep the compression down to 10.5-1, you can run pump gas. As far as unreliable and tempermental, don't understand that at all. Not any more than a turbo, maybe less. A lot less plumming to worry about :)

What you are saying is the crank pulley was damaged? If it was run very long like that it may have hammered the crank bearings which would only get worse in time.

Everybody these days worried about gas milage. Did you guys know all this with the gas prices has been in the works since 1960's to raise prices $5-$10 per gallon? Google Gull Island in Alaska. The goverment and oil companies have been sitting on one of if not the largest oil supplies. These are...

That's cool. What about TPS and linkage, any problems with making those work?

I relalize the XO is not a bolt on and like most aftermarket items for our 7m's have to be reworked to work. What I was asking if there has to be a adapter plate, TPS change, etc. The availablity of the Mustang TB, which means the price would be reasonable, how hard is it to adapt to the 7m.

The Mustang and Vet are bolt ons?

Already in the works. Check the CS site they already have a few built and working and there is a member that made his own in Denmark I believe, both are threads in the NA section.

I would be interested in hearing if anybody has tried one myself. $125 is cheap for a bolt on if is in fact a bolt on.

Defiant I don't think has got his running yet I'm sure we would have known about it. Does anybody know the highest rated RWHP NA while we are on the subject? 215 & 207 so far here :) Hope the next will be better.

Or timing.

Driving it will only make it a lot worse, maybe even put a rod thru the block, which would be the worst of it, damaged crank beyond repair, etc. etc. Did you notice your oil pressure drop to almost zero?

Well here's the deal...when you post a "general" problem with several causes and these guys take their time to ask if you've done this or that, and yes they are smart, and you ignore what they are saying insisting that something can't be wrong, these are the responses you are going to...

Yeah that's a collector, got confused when you said "you could have a collector made" :)

OBX doesn't have a collector that comes with the header?

I had to have a few made and welded to hang mine. Sometimes after market doesn't fit just like stock and you have to fabricate something to work.

Didn't know there was a seal on the dipstick tube. Mine was a little loose so I put a dab of RTV around the tube and let it set until cured seems to be holding OK. I thought it was just a "pressed fit" and mine had just lossed the tight fit.

Don't think it has anything to do with the strengh of the crank. Just elimating extra weight. Looks good Suprarich :)

That's what I would do, take the best of the three and salvage the best parts from the others. As long as the shop checks everything out and does a good valve job that sounds like the most cost effective way to go to me.
