There was a clanking sound, not severe but noticeable, white smoke pouring out of my exhaust, once I stopped that car, on the driver side head, near the header there is coolant, and a small coolant leak under the car. Is this a cracked head? Blown head gasket? or what? I'm lost again, every time I turn around something else breaks, can anyone offer me hope that I don't need to do a whole rebuild again? ]]>totalfkndarknesshttp://www.gotstang.com2012-08-11T02:45:24Z2012-08-11T02:45:24Zhttp://www.gotstang.com/blogs.php?blogid=4352Gotstang events Are there any gotstang events near Detroit? I'm looking for some good mustang events and never seem to find any. ]]>totalfkndarknesshttp://www.gotstang.com2012-05-09T15:17:14Z2012-05-09T15:17:14Zhttp://www.gotstang.com/blogs.php?blogid=4343HELP!! Alright, here is my problem, on my 91 5.0, built, and 5 psi supercharger, i was driving, got on the gas some, heard a loud pop come from the engine, then my car stalled, i lost vacuum, car wanted to stall, i was able to keep it running to drive the couple blocks home, but the engine would spontaneously rev to about 4000 rpm and sit there, i had to turn it off to bring it back down, the car runs very poorly, and will not idle smooth at all, like when my upper intake was cracked, only much worse now, i got home and noticed coolant leaking under the car, i did not notice any coolant in my oil, could this be a cracked lower intake? im hoping that i didnt destroy the engine itself, any help would be awesome.
Thanks

I installed it as the manual said, I've tried adjusting the timing on the distributor, it turns over, and on occasion it will idle for a few seconds then just die out, anyone have any ideas? ]]>totalfkndarknesshttp://www.gotstang.com2012-02-29T14:50:49Z2012-02-29T14:50:49Zhttp://www.gotstang.com/blogs.php?blogid=4328Throttle Body size Hey everyone, I have a 5.0 with a cam, gt40p heads, and a tubular gt40 intake that I am putting a supercharger on, I have a 65mm throttle body, and a 75mm throttle body, which one should I use?

I have the general area, but I can't pin point it exactly.]]>totalfkndarknesshttp://www.gotstang.com2011-11-16T06:57:51Z2011-11-16T06:57:51Zhttp://www.gotstang.com/blogs.php?blogid=4317Engine Ticking I'm calling for help! I just rebuilt my engine, 306 block, GT-40P heads, competition valve job, 1.6 Comp Roller Rockers, and Lobe lift of .320. I have started to hear a ticking noise coming from the passenger side of the engine, seems to be once engine warms up, and at idle gets quieter, but still there, as i accelerate the ticking gets louder and faster, I'm still in the break in period, I'm only 350 miles into the engine, anyone have ideas? I have new Ford Racing lifters, new comp hardened pushrods. Any help would be great.]]>totalfkndarknesshttp://www.gotstang.com2011-10-12T07:14:31Z2011-10-12T07:14:31Zhttp://www.gotstang.com/blogs.php?blogid=4306Are they gone? Or am I blind?
