Here are some better pics of this bearing. In the last pic you can barely make out the stress lines in the casting where the bearing has been pushed in.

I like your idea. Iv'e been look for a reason to buy a press. Then bolt this piece down with the FFM mount holes? I appreciate all the self inflicted research that you have done. I don't even remember where I got my Teds recommendation from. There was nothing wrong with my Optimizer from...

Here is the nonsense that Will is referring to. I didn't think I put this in the Performance section.

The ball is above flush. I am going to get it out somehow and tap the hole. I can just see that thing coming out driving down the road. I got bad information on the MLS and o-ring situation. Otherwise I would have stuck to a standard head gasket.

I rolled the dice on an import block. I am satisfied with the block itself, the seller is a shyster. The say the block is inspected before shipment, yet the bores are .002" over max. They wanted me to return the block at $400 in shipping. I tried to reason with them and they made it sound like...

Long story made short. I had put together an optimizer from Ted's more than a few years ago. Maybe put 5k miles on it and then the drivers side head gasket failed. So I pulled it apart and O-ringed the deck and used Cometic MLS gaskets. Ran it for a few weeks and noticed compression getting...

Your welcome! Come get it anytime, no hurry. Always looking forward to your seeing your projects.

I have one or two in Toledo. Blocks, I don't think I have any heads.

The "slop" you feel between the ring and pinion is called backlash. You should have backlash. There should be a spec in your manual for the amount of backlash required when setting it up. Its measured by indicating off the ring gear. I always look forward to your project updates. Keep up the...

Here is a older Hot Rod article. Very good read with a twist at the end. https://www.hotrod.com/articles/hrdp-1109-stock-gm-ls-engine-big-bang-theory/

Twisted Iron Performance

Ill ask about sleeving it. Do the eBay blocks seem like a good option for new? Seems like rolling the dice to get a used block?

My GEP is at the machine shop and it won't clean up with a .020 or .030 over bore. It sat with coolant in the bore. So I'm looking for a new block. I see there are a few on ebay. Anyone have a better option?

You are going to enjoy doing that heater core. Why did you swap in the Canadian cluster?

The only lines I have to my tank are. Feed line Return line Vent to the fill neck and of course the level sender wires

Im not sure it will help. I have a 93 with the bed off. I can get you a picture tomorrow.

Nice Piece! If I decide to go with one of the modified DBS's my fuel system setup will be like this. It probably wont be as pretty, but it will function the same.

I've been doing some power reading over the last few days as I dive back into my project. This is one of the threads I have went through and I will add a little to it. I have a background in the world of mild street cars. Some that I built for myself and some I have built for others. As far as...

I have had bad experiences with the SCT software and hardware. Not on my personal projects , but friends with later Mustangs. I wouldn't even consider switching to their stuff. The last I heard their customer support was pretty poor too. The tuner I used had not tuned with QuarterHorse before...
