Hi Andy! Love how she sounds and performs. I love that little whine it makes. Glad you are happy. If I am not mistaken, the Air gap manifolds do not have heat crossover ports in that manifold. Even if you have them in your heads, they are blocked off. Street cars and race cars do not need the heat cross over ports to function. Cold weather daily drivers do. The air gap gives you a cooler denser charge, increases combustion effeciency. You will have no heat soak issues though, just have to get her nice and warmed up first. Keep the carb spacer though, it adds plenum volumn and give it more of a straighter shot/flow to the combustion chamber. I just plugged my heat crossover this week, new gaskets etc, cleaned and painted the Performer rpm. Dumb ass me dropped a 3/8 nut and sent went down oil hole in lifter valley. Heard a clink, praying i find it in my oil pan. Cheers from Motown/Dearborn.

It was a tip from a guy on the Ranchero forums. They bolted right in and are high back and head rested cloth material, that I have protected, from greasy coveralls, with cheap vinyl covers. But a little more searching could have found maybe even leather seats, for more bucks of course. It will take some leg work, and access to some huge junk yards, of course, and check the forums to see what could work. Yeah, paying over a grand per seat is just nuts, and they are a problem, for me, being made in China, to add insult to "financial injury" for most of the ones on eBay and other places. ;D

Your problem with the Air Gap manifold may be the fact that by it's design it runs cooler than the performer, it may be so cold initially that the fuel is falling out of atomization and turning to droplets. The fact that it runs great once it's warm may support this. Just my 2 cents worth. Glad you're so happy with the way the car goes ,it's always great when you feel your money was well spent.

Only you can define what seating will be right for YOU and YOUR car. Price will be a factor BUT you will make the right decision as you put that aside and choose what is right for the car. Good luck Andy.

@AndyKruseChannel

Жыл бұрын

Yes, I understand that the decision is up to me, but I'm asking for input. We don't get to "try before you buy" when it comes to seats and I really don't want to buy something based on price or looks. I'm not opposed to paying a premium price for a premium product, but there are a lot of "Sony" products out there, their price is high because of the name but not necessarily a superb product. I know TMI is big in our hobby, but it seems like their custom upholstered seats are the product of choice (way outside of my budget), but people don't seem to rave about their entry level or "regular" seats. That's where I'd rather go elsewhere, the regular TMI seats are pricey for something that nobody seems to be super excited about. Then there's other brands that are popular in the racing world (Sparco, Recaro, Corbeau, Kirkey, etc) but most of what they offer are full racing setups or something that screams "I wanna be a racer". I'm trying to find the balance of safety, support, looks, price, and comfort all while trying to keep it in the realm of the seats "fitting" with the car. It's a taller order, I know, but that's why I was asking my viewers for recommendations. :)

@@eddievantailn2882 That's almost a deal breaker, to be honest. A while back I purchased some seats from another car that seemed fairly low profile (from looking at them and how shallow the seat rails were relative to the seat) and I had the same issue where I was physically sitting taller in the car. I set them aside and pursued other upgrades on the car. Then I did those lowered seats pans in my car (which gave me about an inch of head room) and after the install was complete, I retried those seats again. While it wasn't as bad as before, they still put me too high in the car. I've debated about doing the MTF head liner to get a little more clearance, but at this point it feels like I'm trying to modify the car to make these seats (that are not that important) fit instead of finding seats that already fit. Your comment about the new seat position height is almost invaluable. Nobody else is talking about this and these are the kinds of things people should know before they drop $!k on some aftermarket seats. Thanks for the heads up!! :)

Regarding seats, I mean you are kinda going with a stock looking approach so it's tempting to stick with stock "looking" templates. The race seats are lighter but less comfortable; so that's all debatable. My issue would be that you need to add some type of shoulder strap/upper body harness for safety; that's what I would like to see you upgrade to and it might as well be done with the seat project, right?

I did a recap towards the end of last summer where I talk a little more about the Panhard Bar, maybe that cover's what you're looking for? Either way, if you were looking at new rear sway bar or a Panhard bar for flattening the rear of the car so you can partially steer with the throttle, it's hands down the Panhard Bar, any day of the week. The Watts Link does the same thing, but they tend to be more expensive and is a more complex install. If we take my new motor out of the equation, the Panhard Bar is my favorite modification I've done to this car, and that includes doing the T5 swap. I don't know if Maier Racing is going to offer their Panhard Bar anymore, but Mike Maier Inc (they are brothers that run both of those two companies) sells a Panhard Bar that is just as good. If I were to get another Mustang, I'd buy that Bar from Mike Maier. :)

347 is that better hey? Argh I just rebuilt the 302. Great video again!

Every cubic inch over 302 will provide more torque (assuming everything else is equal) and in turn makes the smile bigger. I was very tempted to go with a 363 on this build, but I didn't like how razor thin the line can be when it comes to engine life on those motors. The advantage you have on your 302 is likely longer engine life, and possibly higher RPMs if you're interested in that route. Either way, drive it 'til it breaks, then build something bigger. :)

i'm reading on vmf forum for my 331 stroker that has hydraulic link bar lifters that the max is 6500rpm so i'm gonna put my limiter there . yhey could go to 7000 but the -500 rpms is for safety 🙂 or you planning on doing a dynopull? when will you buy the new gt350 bumper?

@AndyKruseChannel

11 ай бұрын

It can be difficult to decide what to do when someone on VMF is telling you one thing and the guy that actually built your motor is telling you another. Also, it depends on the RPM range the engine was built for. Things like quality valve springs can be the limiting factor on peak RPM. Sometimes it's the Cam design. There can be quite a few factors that ultimately determine the peak RPM. If it's purely insurance to keep the RPMs low, you definitely won't be breaking parts, but you could be leaving power on the table by doing so. But, that's assuming you're chasing gains by upgrading to a 331. :)

Rebuilding shops are asking redicilous money for machining for n Belgium. A strokerkit was a bit more expensive and you het more power as a extra. I think the max rpm forum people where saying is because of the max rpm Howard links bar lifters says what is the max rpm's that they can handle

If I run into the store and come out before the engine has completely cooled, it doesn't want to start right away. I think it has to do with my electric choke still being "warm" and so it's open too much. I don't know for sure, but it's something I'll have to figure out as I put on more miles. :)

@@AndyKruseChannel You get a bit of heat soak with these when you park for a few minutes and then try to hot start (fill ups at the gas station). Here is the procedure for a carbureted vehicle. With the choke OFF, depress the accelerator to the floor and hold it down, crank until it starts. Do NOT pump the gas, your squirters in the carb will enrichen it even more adding to the issue. Holding it to the floor seems counter-intuitive until you think about it. You have a hot, rich mixture in the intake. The engine needs to get some fresher, leaner air into it and by opening both of throttle plates after the first squirter shot and not adding more fuel it should light right off once it clears itself.

It's holding up great. I don't beat on this thing, so I expect it to last anyways. But I also upgraded a few internals to help not only extend its life, but also increase its torque capacity.

Sorry brotha, I have not done rear disc brakes on my Mustangs (yet). However, yes, you need to pull the axles as the backing plate for the drum brakes is bolted to the axle housing end plate and it's sandwiched between that end plate and the axle retaining bracket.
