I've got 3 or 4 bikes. All cheaper, but all decent and rideable. DK Fury -$25 Diamondback Joker (old style reinforced split frame) -$30 Specialized Fatboy 915 (freestyle fatframe with pegs etc) -$75

meh it's ok. i guess i believe everyone else when they said it looked pretty shitty. Good luck pickin up chicks in that thing. pssh.

wondering if the seats are leather. if so, how much for one of them.

Thanks Brian!

does anyone know what the stroke would be increased to if a crank out of a 351 was used in a 302? Also, would it bolt right in, would the bearings from a 302 crank work and will the stock 302 rods bolt up to the crank without problems?

What else would need to be considered if I went with a higher compression piston? What's the stock ratio? Something like 9.5:1? What would be a good ratio to look for?

I am going to pick up a Thunderbird 5.0L motor from my friend this weekend. As I slowly start tearing into this thing, I'd like to have a good idea of what I will be wanting to replace or freshen up. This is the first rebuild I will be doing on my own, and I want to have things planned out before I just go wasting time and money. I will also create a parts/combo list at the end of my post for critiquing. Keep in mind this is all going to be going in an 89 LX hatch 4 cyl car (the one that floated around on here and noone ever gave a chance). My goal for the car is simple. I want to hit 12's using as many stock parts as I can and I want to be able to drive the car daily without problems. I don't plan on ever running boost and I don't plan on running anything lower then 12's (I've got the 93 GT for all that.) Overall, the main intent is to get my hands dirty and create a learning experience that will pay off in the end. I am also trying to do this as cheap as possible. As far as the block goes, what all should I be looking for as far as structural integrity? I plan on having it cleaned up and machined to .030" over. I know I will need larger pistons and rings after the machine work. Stock rods will be used with the larger pistons. I will also be replacing the freeze plugs. What can I do to clean up the stock crank? Cam, Rod and Main bearings will all be replaced with stock specification units. Also, I will be replacing the oil pump with a stock volume stock pressure unit. A complete gasket set will be used as well. A new timing chain and gears and a cleaned up stock HO cam will also be used. Am I forgetting anything important? I'm going to be using a set of ported E7TE heads with new springs, retainers, rockers, pushrods and possibly larger valves (1.90/1.60). Ported stock lower and stock upper intake. 65mm TB. Completely stock fuel system as of now (unless anyone has any suggestions). The List Freshened up block (0.030" over) 0.030" over hypereutectic pistons and rings Stock stroke New freeze plugs New cam, rod and main bearings New stock volume and pressure oil pump Complete gasket Kit Stock 302 HO cam New timing chain and gears (if needed) Ported E7TE heads w/ springs, retainers, rockers, pushrods and possibly larger valves (1.90/1.60) Ported stock lower Stock upper 65mm TB 19# injectors Stock fuel pump. Stock MAS K&N cone filter For now, stock headers, hpipe (with gutted cats) and flowmaster catbacks. Car will also have sn95 5 lug swap and an 8.8" rear with 3.73 gear and 5 lug ranger axles and rebuilt traction loc. Stock GT upper and lowers. Let me know what you guys think!

The main purpose of this head rebuild/port is for me to learn something. I'm not trying to create the fastest car out there, and I know there are probably a lot better options for me to look into, but I want to be able to learn the basics before I go buying bolt on power. Also, a big factor being played here is my budget.

how much for everything?

JL Subs are gone. Thanks guys.

Cool. Thanks for the links. Jason, I know to stay away from the 96+ stuff. Thanks.

I'm looking for the sn95 front parts needed to do a 5 lug swap on my 89 Mustang. Spindles, hubs, rotors and calipers. If you've got anything that might help out please let me know. I'm wanting to buy these parts ASAP.

Rob, it's just the frame. Sorry I didn't have that with me last night. I'd be willing to meet up with you sometime though. You can just have it since you hooked me up with those parts. Let me know.

Tach is already sold sorry.

Interested in pics and a price as well. SlowMotiion@msn.com

They are about 3 years old. I bought them new, and they are still in like new condition. I used them in one car for about a year, since I took them out they've sat in my room.

I sure do.

I am looking to port and rebuild a set of E7TE heads. I was just wondering what all is done on a standard head rebuild, what should be done specifically to the E7TE heads, and what kind of work would need to be done to put in 1.90/1.60 valves? Also, could someone try to find me a diagram of a head so that I can familiarize myself with all the parts.

How much for one of the seats?

subs are gone. thanks mark.

where'd you get that sweet little red car in the background?

What interior does this have in it? If it's grey leather I'll take one of the seats.

Bump. Pictures will be taken shortly.

Tach is pending.

yes it's just the frame.
