Check your master cylinder pushrod length. If it is extended even the slightest bit too far, the brake fluid can not fully return to the reservoir and there will be residual pressure held in the lines when the brakes are released.

Is the whine very excessive or just slightly noticeable? Most aftermarket ring and pinions have less of a helical cut to the teeth causing more noise than a stock ring and pinion. This may not be the case at all but something to consider. If it does need rebuilt and you can wait a week, I may have the time in the near future.

Sold.

Huge congrats Doug!

Build a shed twice the size you think you'll need. After a few years it will be worth it. Be sure to check your local building codes first.

Nate and I will be on our way soon.

What size?

They are a great tire especially considering the price, but they are pretty loud. Not enough to prevent me from buying another set but those old folks driving Audis may want to keep that in mind.

Is that so? Well I just happen to be the undefeated champ at Gameworks. Looks like the clash of champions is about to go down, much like yourself

Suzuka short course, full simulation mode for pinks!

Saturday 9pm. I'll drag Nate there by his turban if I have to.

I have plenty to go around. What are you looking for?

I have a 300lb. set of Marcy Grips, $50 picked up in Johnstown. Also, I have some other equipment you may be interested in.

Glad to help when you decide to get started on that.

Nice truck and Mustang. Welcome from another Johnstown resident.

Signed up. Will be driving the beater though.

Installing on a drive-on lift leaves to many variables. Are all the tires at equal pressure? Easy to check but are the sidewalls all in perfect condition? If running bias-ply, are the run out lengths/diameters perfectly equal side to side? And for the suspension, are the springs the exact rate side to side? Even brand new springs have tolerances. Also are the springs seated perfectly in their perches?, not likely from an assembly line or any car that has been driven a few miles. And the bushings play a major role. Unless every point of movement is controlled via a heim end there will be binding, no matter how smooth the control arms move through their range of motion. The binding caused by a driver just sitting in the passenger seat can take hours or days for the bushings to recover to their original position if the ever do. Not to mention most cars are not of equal weight side to side so the vehicle will never return to square.

Thanks everyone

The Windsor family of motors has far, far more capability than the RB and there is no fabrication required when installed in a Fox body. That was my point. Why go to all the trouble to swap something in that will never live up to the potential of what was taken out.

There are plenty of reasons to perform an engine swap. But to swap to an engine with less power potential doesn't make much sense to me.

That is the completely wrong way to do it!

Just a bone stock N/A 1998 GM 3.8 backed by a T5. But it's good for 14.4 in the quarter and I can beat on it all day on the road course.

I swapped a V6 into my daily beater RX7.

Looking forward to checking it out! Big congrats :thumbup:
