those inconel valves might push it up to around 750. extreamly lite, stronger than stainless but cost over 250 per valve

lowered cars but no adjustable camber plates
lonestarion replied to Indiana's topic in Rims, Suspension and Brake Mods
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. -
if they do break, i would mod the shafts to use corvette type shafts

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]

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.

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
