I hope I didn't miss it but what did you use for a spring compressor? What make and model? Any pics of it?

TIA,

There is a tool for 4v motors and a separate tool for 2v motors. I actually bought both tools. The 2V tool will only get to half the springs on a 4v motor, but was easier to use and sturdier than the 4v tool. The 4v tool should be OK, but I would buy both even if I did it again. I think I paid about $200 for both tools.

Part number for 4v tool is OTC 303-452 (same as T93P-6565-AR)
Part Number for 2v tool is OTC 303-567

OTC is manufacturer. Bought mine online by searching for OTC tool dealers.

car sounds great im going to start looking at different cams to install. anyone running a voodoo cam id like input.

ahmach1 · 09-04-2005, 09:05 PM

How much louder did the headers make your car, and how much louder did the headers and cam combo make your car over stock? (I did listen to your file on the first page and it sounds great, but its hard to judge how loud it is.) I'm considering doing headers and a cam, but I don't want to wake the dead. I have a Harley w/ a Crane cam in it and it makes much more noise than I would like.

The off road x-pipe added more loudness than anything in the exhaust. The headers woke it up in the higher rpms. The cams along with the exhuast have a pretty mean idle - the cams hit enough at idle to shake the car somewhat. Most people do not pull up next to this Mach at a light - they hang back.

Just curious did you check other available cams, I remember reading a post along time ago. Where another guy removed the FR cams and put in Sean Hyland st2 or something of this nature. Those were the cams I was considering, if I remember right he said they were a whole nother world. I also came across comp cams below.

Not to discount yours, congratulations, I have extreme envy, I have tons of tools and strong mechanical ability but I think I'm scared to try it. I'd be afraid to get it back together and the mofo wouldnt start and I would have to have it towed for a fix.

Your car looks and sounds awesome.

devous1 · 09-13-2005, 08:22 PM

MachOneThis, how about this for us sissies. Ever think about making a detailed video on the install. Man I would really love to do this, this winter but I'm worried about doing something incorrect.

If some one made a vid and put it on DVD I would be willing to pay a good price for it. Some one consider it please.

I wish I would have thought about that....the install was definitely a PITA but was well worth it. We just had a few pictures here and there and that was it, sorry. Good Idea though.

A lot of good cams out there - I like the Comp offerings and Crane cams. I just went with these because they are somewhat mild, but offer some good gains and a nice idle with a little lope. They have a broad power band - they pull good from 2000 - redline.

With a good tune the FR500 cams will idle very smooth. My engine sounded stock with them. You can tune in a lope if you really want one.

I'm selling 5 FR500 cam kits if you are interested in getting one?

In order to install the entire kit you have to remove the heads. I recommend you just install the valve springs and cams. I'll PM you a price.

got to youtube and search for mach1 cammed or mach1 106400, loads of sounds there>
