  1. those inconel valves might push it up to around 750. extreamly lite, stronger than stainless but cost over 250 per valve
  2. well, to use the rear camber bolts on the front control arms. here are some numbers and the way i would do this. the camber bolt kit for the rear is still avilable through the dealer. rear bolt diameter is 35/64" or .547" and about 1/4" longer than the front. front bolt diameter is 15/32" or .468" diffrence of .079" 1 the steel pipe in the front bushing can be drilled out that .079" of an inch. 2 the front frame would need to be drilled out the same diameter as the rear camber bolt hole. 3 an ecnetric type washers similar to the 1 on the rear needs to be welded to the front K frame. to simulate the same adjustment as the rear. asemble adjust to your liking and head to the alighnment shop, if needed. i'm in the process of doing this myself.
  3. if they do break, i would mod the shafts to use corvette type shafts
  4. my head doesnt look like that on the mating surface. in other words that gully on the lower part of the head isnt on mine. mine looks like the factory 2.6 head like this. valves are a lil bit smaller, but can go bigger. lot of meat in the port walls. no step like the quest head has in the exhaust port. http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/tsi87supr60/...jpg&.src=ph i plan on milling out the trashed surface on this head & replace it with a good solid peice of aluminum. and machining out chambers & welding up the ports. maybe this weekend.[/img]
  5. when i venture to salvage yards i walk through the whole yard and look at everything. its possible with a few mods these would work. if anyone intended to use something other than????
  6. 240's stocker are alot shorter than starquest. 5 or 6" in the front, 6-7" in the rear the 240 measurements i have are for the teins. in which should be no more than 1.5" -2" shorter then stock 240's. sorry if i didnt make it clear enough. the struts in the pic you posted wont fit without radicaly modifing them. the front struts on 93 & up ford taurus,conture and similar cars might work on ours. though it only has 1 bolt to fasten it with. take a look http://new.photos.yahoo.com/lonestarion/ph...8804255184079/0 http://new.photos.yahoo.com/lonestarion/ph...8804255160833/1 it looks very close in length. not sure on the diameter though. didnt have anything to measure it with.

  8. strut isolators? dealer quality is good if you can afford the price 1 side front is $8x.xx the other is $6x.xx a few off brand are softer than factory so keep away from them. used ones wont last much longer so your best bet is go new or after market
  9. stock quest front & rear are front: 24.375" +/-.050" rear: 24.687" +/- .050" 240 measurements using teins 18.5" front 17.0" rear i dont imagine stock 240's being much longer 1.5"-2" longer at most the diameter info i dont have.
  10. magna/galants are rear steer rack & pinion cars. can this be adapted to work on the starquest or no?
  11. diesel pistons will definatly not work a few companies make the other items. but i guess more competition wont hurt..
  12. its possible. i dont have 240 strut o.d. measurements but heres the measurement on starquest 2.071" +/- .002" i.d. of the opening on the rear hub. only problem you might incounter is the 240's are much shorter.
