Alright thanks guys, I gave him the go ahead to do the work minus the flywheels as I'm going to get a whole new clutch kit, he also agreed to let me pay cash and skip out on the taxes. My teacher has toured all over with his drag car(69 Barracuda runs 9.4 in the quarter) and always had his work...
Hey guys
Went down to a machine shop in Ottawa Ontario to have my head cleaned and resurfaced, block cleaned and decked, cylinders honed,, and crank cleaned up. I have a friend who's been using him for years for race builds so he was recommended. I called a couple local places just to get a...
Hey guys,
While doing my 7m refresh I've decided to do the comp cam spring upgrade. A question to the fellow 7m'ers who have completed this change. The seat or shim or "washer with a lip" type thing that goes under the stock spring, do you keep that in place? It almost feels as though the...
Thanks guys! I read almost everything you guys posted and I'm in the midst of checking if a friend of mine can get the older style pulley for me, if not then I'll get the new one and be sure to be extra careful installing it!

Hey guys,
I'm really not one to do this BUT.
This year I'm building my engine up a bit, hoping to fix the suspension up too but I won't be able to touch up the paint for a little while (limited funds you know).
Up here in Canada there is a wrap company having a contest. To get myself to...
I finally got my car into the shop(where I go to school), pulled off the intake, intercooler piping, drained the oil and coolant, removed the rad. Planning to pull the engine monday or tuesday, check what is in spec and move on from there! My oil pump pulley snapped off last summer so we shall...
Hey guys,
On tuesday I'm supposed to go see a 7mgte locally that I'm looking at buying, so far it looks like a crazy deal there are just some questions I want to run by you guys.
He's selling an already disassembled complete 7mgte, only thing missing is the turbo. He claims new rings, new...
