    Can hydroboost be done w/SD axle swap?

    My brake booster has failed and I'll be beginning my SD axle swap soon. I've read that everyone who does the hydroboost conversion likes the pedal better afterward but that it's not recommended to do with disc brakes. Any truth to this? Don't want to buy the swap parts then not be able to use them.

    How strong are zf6 transmissions?

    Sorry for baiting in with the title, but here's my situation. I've bought an 05 5.4 f250 zf6 to swap my 97 to coils. I know the modular Ford engines have the same bellhousing as the 6 liters. I've also read in several places that from 2005 on, the gear ratios are the same between the gas and...

I've heard different things about stepper motors or not and trying to decide which one you want online can make you dizzy. Does anyone have real world experience and with which...

    Let's spitball... 7.3 with shorter stroke?

    Just something that came across my mind. I was try to think of a negative to this hypothetical scenario. The ones I could think of would be a drop in torque, added expense for a longer rod, or block deck machining depending on the amount of de-stroking. What drew me this direction was if we had...

    Mock up turbo models

    I'm sure several of you have seen the long block engines that were made of plastic that had the engine mount bolt bungs in place but the weighed a fraction of the real thing to help with mocking up an engine before you put the real deal in place. Why doesn't anyone make something along the same...

    Remote mount turbo questions

    I'm currently up in the air about building a remote mount charger setup for my 97. Ill be building it for dirt drags with the occasional hook to a sled.

    #8 injector debacle

    So I've read a few places discussing injector o-ring replacement about guys having their #8 injector being different then the other 7. Several people seemed to say it was normal, and comments were made along the lines of "it doesn't matter where the other 7 end up but #8 injector has to go back...

    Zf6 friendly turbo options for 6.4?

    I've found a rclb 6.4 6 speed for a good price. I have a dual fueler kit already and a 468 cast wheel. I'd really like 750-850 whp. Never tow over 8k, may only do that twice a year. Elevation is about 1800 feet. Would I be able to get away with an s472 sx-e with around a 1.0 ex housing? Or could...
