Engine Tech / Roller Rocker Arms
I know that they have the super over priced sets, but i think i remember a set that fit a cleavland or 351W that fit the 3.8s and were like $150 like all the other pedestal rocker sets

Engine Tech / Roller Rocker Arms
I searched and searched but i couldn't find which roller rockers fit the pedestal mount 3.8L engines? Someone told me but i forgot. I tryed to put the ones i got for my 99 5.0 engine on it and they didnt fit.

Engine Tech / 3.8L V6 EGR/Smog stuff to remove?
I do not run an EGR on my carb 3.8 but mainly i got rid of it cause it was extreamly restrictive with giant tubes running through the intake and the hoses got all in my way. The bolt that held the pump on striped and i smacked it off with a mini sledge haha. I cut that part of the bracket off when i rebuilt.
I'm still running a cat, but i'm not sure if its doing too much ive been thinking about getting rid of it.

On electric controled engines though EGRs are supposed to add a little more power, better gas milage and so on

Check this out http://www.thirdgen.org/egrdiagnose you can read the last part quickly if you dont want to read the whole thing.

Body/Appearance/Interior / Has anyone replaced thier bumpers?
I'm looking for a way to get rid of the molding on my car it’s hideous. I've done plenty of fiberglass work including my cowl hood. I need some ideas of what might fit; I was hoping someone else had done it already . Any advice?
