I stand corrected, yet again. LOL... boy, my legs are getting tired! What does "IP" stand for? Eric
Pro-Comp has two foundries for their heads, to my understanding. One in California and the other in Australia. I know there are Chinese...
Not if you install a 28 oz. damper up front use a pre-'82 302 crank machined to fit the 5.0L. Was, like, $100 back in the day. I've done...
Alright, alright... :rolleyes: Point, firmly, established. The pistons I have are .200 domed and I experienced clearance problems with the offset...
Oh, yeah... forgot about that. Good catch. You need a 28 oz. flexplate if you're keeping the C-4, or, a 50 oz. if you're going AOD. Also,...
I don't recall if there is an issue with the rear-sump oil pan on the 5.0L motors. Also, check fan- to-radiator clearance and if you're planning...
Please, don't get me wrong... I intend to remain neutral and am just trying to establish a history. I haven't decided on anything, yet. If...
Was this a while back? Possibly, could the company have solved those issues by now? For example, some people still complain about how...
Pro-Comp heads. Experiences? Opinions? Rumors? Complete set of 190cc Pro-Comps $620:...

So, I just got my new front suspension in. Got it off E-bay and it's supposed to be stock replacement stuff (interchangeable with late-60's...
Also, head gaskets can be put on backwards and your heads will over-heat and can warp. The gaskets have "FRONT" stamped on them and, even if they...
Slightly longer answer: The spindles for disk-brake cars have the caliper rail mounting bracket drilled and tapped into them. Drum spindles will...
Yeah, those moly rings are great. Got a '92 5.0 HO out of a T-bird with about 150k miles and everything looked awesome. Could've just gotten...
Yeah, I was talking about the cross-shaft bushings. I thought they would need more torque than that. Guess not. Good advice guys. I'll keep...
Interesting... didn't know the ball joints were riveted out of the factory. That would explain why a lot of the stuff still looks to be in good...
Thanks blugene. Upon closer inspection, one of the ball joint bolts has completely torn through and destroyed its mounting hole in the stamped...
So, I just disassembled one of my upper control arms. Now, I read in an old post that the bushings are tightened to 25-35 ft.-lbs. for the torque...

Media-blasted 1/2 the engine bay, welded in another patch-panel, and painted/installed the newly-turned drums. Eric
