Right now all I got together is a set of .040 pistons with moly rings, stock E7 heads from a 89 mustang gt along with the upper and lower intakes.2018 F150 XLT 43k

Stock double roller. I've had good luck with Cloyes brand stuff. Usually under 30 bucks at any parts store. If you're putting together what amounts to a stock HO, you don't need exotic parts to do it. You'd be far better off spending that extra money on better heads, or work to the E7 heads you have.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

stock or any decent quality 1.7 rocker. No Proform or other Chinese parts though. The Crane Cobras are nice, and they fit under most valve covers. I also have a set of Scorpions that look really nice, though I haven't installed them on anything. Used should be fine, but again, save your money here and put it into the heads and intake if at all possible. Far more gails to be had there than with rockers and fancy timing chains.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

Stock are 1.6. If you're buying aftermarket, might as well get some 1.7's for a little more effective lift. If you want to run 1.6, honestly I'd probably just save the pennies and run stock rockers. Heck, I'd run stock rockers on better heads if it allowed me to purchase them. ROckers you can change easily once the motor is together, heads are a lot more involved.Originally posted by mikeroc283 View Post
He's got stock heads and intake, which basically suck. My list of suggested parts would be very different if not for those stock heads and stock intake. Something with real heads and a good intake would be a hell of a lot of fun. I've actually tossed around the idea of building a "real" motor myself, just for S&G, though I'm kind of pinching pennies with the goal of moving into my own place at the moment. I'd rather have a slow car and my own gig than the fastest Panther parked in my mom's driveway.Originally posted by ironstealth View Post
As for flaming Mustangs, the reason I don't like them is they're small, uncomfortable, and have horrible suspension. I have never said a bad word about the driveline, though despite its thoroughly decent and reliable performace, in stock form its not all that spectacular, though its a hell of a lot better than the garbage we got from the factory.Last edited by gadget73; 10-14-2009, 05:49 PM.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).
