Using Head Studs on 4.6 Ford Modular Engines with Power Adders!

It seems like in today’s high performance market power adders are the easiest way to make a lot of horsepower without completely rebuilding the engine. But added horsepower puts more stress on the bolts that hold the head to the block. Studs can solve this problem.

Boost Your Mustang 4.6 3v to an Impressive 466hp

I've been selling hardcore automotive racing engine parts for years. Dealing with professional engine builders, speed shops and individuals. Building a high horsepower engine is complicated, grueling, and sometimes catastrophic. A lot of people think there is nothing to it, but they're wrong.

Fun With A Magneto

Long before MSD boxes and other high tech electronics that are used today were even thought about, the way to get the "hottest" spark was to use a magneto. The higher the engine revved and the magneto spun, the hotter the "spark." We used to hand one to an unknowing person so that they grabbed the cap, then spin the gear a little by hand to give them a startling shock.

3/4 and Full Race Cams

Every once in awhile I still get a call from an old school racer asking about a camshaft for his hot rod. I can tell his age from his question.

At the Jag Dealership....

My friend Mike was the manager of the parts department at the Jaguar Dealer in Nashville back in the late seventies. The public could only gain access to the parts department  (in Jaguar talk that would be the Spares Depot) by walking through the showroom.

Mike got a phone order for a starter for a a 75 Jaguar (remember this was in 1979.) Mike explained to the customer that it would take a week or two (remember those days) because the started had to come from England. The total price was about $300.00 including s&h.
