if so, I'd say toss it. There are more dependable flywheel/clutch combos out there. I tried to find this flywheel and they are done making them and this goes about 3-4 years back from what I...

Norton and Dave, I bought both software packages last year for my pinto ministock. Unfortunately I can't say that it made the car handle any better for the time, effort and $$ spent. I used the...

I had one of those tilton sonic mach setups for the 2.3 and it lunched starters. I had a lot of good advice sent to me by the board members on this part of the site and I tried it all but I just...

Looking for 3.58 Toyota gears for an eight bolt rear end(6.38" ring gear). Full carrier preferred but will consider just ring and pinion. Let me know what you have and asking price.

I took the Flaming River rack out of my pinto and put in the quick ratio Mustang Rack (2.25:1). I does require you to elongate the holes in the crossmember a bit but not too much. Because the bolt...

Just trying to pay it forward. I've gotten a lot of help here from many guys, especially 84Dave. I've had stuff like this happen to me and it can get pretty frustrating. A fresh view usually helps...

It's important to get the cam timing correct as that affects performance (RPM powerband) and clearance issues (not smashing valves into pistons). I don't think the second one is an issue really...

With only .030 off of the head, you should be able to use a stock cam gear, but I think this will retard the cam just slightly making it slower out of the hole and reduce overall RPM. If there is...

I had good luck last year with BLP Racing Products (407-422-0394) when a discharge nozzle screw stripped out the threads on my Dorton 350. They did a great job for not a bad price. Turnaround time...

1195 thanks for sending along that information. I believe we have traced the "flutter" to a fuel pressure safety switch not working properly. Once we bypassed the switch, the issue went away.

We are having what appears to be a valve float issue in a 2.3L 5.7 rod motor with Crane .510 hydraulic roller camshaft and their recommended springs. The motor pulls to about 7100, then it goes...

Okay everyone,

We got the starter issue solved with the Sonic clutch but we continued to have problems with the stiffness of the pressure plate. When initally setting this thing up, we had to...

Okay everyone, this is what I have found out so far.

The flywheel meshes best with a 10 tooth starter. We are currently using a Ranger style starter that we had in the shop. The aluminum plate...

Thanks the input Supertruck. The flexing issue makes sense.

What I found last night was that when the starter does manage to turn the motor over, it makes a hell of a noise as the gear recoils,...

Car 62,

Yes, but I actually had two plates riveted together in there (long story--done for throwout clearance a long time ago). This was how we first set the whole thing up. I can remove one of...

I am working on a ford 2.3 ministock, and we got a used Sonic Mach series clutch for the car during the off-season. The clutch is advertised to be for a 2.3/2.0 Pinto.

We are running a pinto...

Found a replacment piston, so this thread is done!

Hey all, I know this will probably be a long shot, but I recently came across a set of used Manley 5.83 Pro rods with Pistons for a ford 2.3. Race Engineering used to make this setup a while back. ...

I had the same problem. These shifters have a plastic insert that rides between the two prongs on the shifter where it contacts the rod in the trans. This might be more work, but if you can't find...
