I have an itch for a notch at the moment. Something in semi-gloss black, like this one.

yeah I like the notches, but i still love the hatch back. i think when i get another fox it will probably be a notch, then i got both! haha

Not much has gone on with the Stang lately. My wife just had a baby and I've been busy with running my kids around and such (being Mr. Mom). I did however find a moment to put my 302 logos on the cowl finally. I'm wearing a red shirt, so my car looks pink in the pics, LOL.

You like???

I think the paint is just turning pink from you doing so many womanly things.

That's possible, LOL. I've been out of my comfort zone of being a Dad a lot lately.

The pink is gone, did you spend a week working in the garage?

Nice progress.

Yes I have been, but not on the Stang. It hasn't received any love since the headers.

Nice progress.

Thank you! I appreciate that.


I did the first burnout I've done in years the other night. I impressed some guys at work when I did a burnout through all of first and almost all of second gear.... then she was getting pretty squirrely on me so I let off.

I love the smell of a burnout. Someone should seriously bottle that smell and make a cologne out of it.

I like the 302 decals. classy, not flashy.

Sigged.

If you have the crane 1.7 rockers and you are looking for a cam. I have one out of a 93 Cobra I may be parting with here soon. I have it as a backup in case I don't like the TFS 1 cam I have now. I am also not sure if that would help that much with your setup, but if you're interested let me know.

Do you happen to know the specs? I've had an E303 on my to do list for a while now.... maybe they are similar?

What do you need for it?

EDIT: Found specs @ http://www.1993cobra.com/data.htm

Camshaft:

Ford designed a new camshaft grind to bring back some of the low end torque that was now lost using these higher flowing cylinder heads. Part number for the cam is F3ZE-6250-CA. Specs are as follows:

Intake/Exhaust duration in degrees of crankshaft rotation: 270/270 and at 0.050 lift 209/209

Intake/Exhaust lift at valve with 1.7 rocker ratio: 0.479/0.479"

Lobe separation is 118.3 degrees with 115 intake lobe center and a 121.5 exhaust lobe center.

Timing events at 0.050 lift are:

Intake: (BTDC):-10.5 / (ABDC): 39.5

Exhaust: (BBDC): 46.0 / (ATDC): -17.0
