Suspension/Steering / Max tire size for Bullitt wheels
Hi all,
my 88 has a Max motorsport suspension with coilovers all around, and I have Bullitt wheels.(17x10.5 and 17x8)  I was thinking someone on here had that combo and was looking for a tire size to fit.    I know ya gotta be careful on the front as they are pushed forward.

Thanks!

Engine Tech / 427.....
IF, one were to consider ordering a 427 crate motor to go in their 88 TC, from which builder would they trust?  I am really liking the edlebrock version, but there are several builders out there.  I mean 550-600hp is insane power fro not so bad money.  Also, got a built 2.3 with a holset that may be available soon.....lol

Lounge / I'm outta here
I just got a short notice job offer to Dubai.  I am excited, but i gotta leave the 5th of August! I dont know what to do with  the black car, it's got the whole front end out!  I cant take anything so it's a lot of work doin some selling the next 3 weeks! The good news is, I will have enuff $$ to finish the car up when I get back.

Engine Tech / water in the oilpan
My engine let loose a couple months ago and I finally got a chance to put it back together this weekend.  It was spewing oil and water and blowing grey smoke.  I pulled it apart and replaced the head gasket. I looked over the head and the block and it looked like it may have been rebuilt not to long ago.  I dont think the block is cracked as it was still holding water.  Anyway, I cranked it back up today and it just drained the radiator straight to the oil pan.  I filled up my bucket and there is still a lot left.  I can only think the head is cracked?  It is leaking badly from somewhere around the hardline on the drivers side where it hooks to the oil pressure sender.  Any ideas?

Engine Tech / 2.3 cooling line pics
Anyone have pics of the cooling lines on the left side of the 2.3T?  I forgot to take pics and just want to make sure I get em right.  Just bought some new 90 degree hoses from NAPA for the oil cooler.
