i am new to the forum and i have a 66 thunderbird with a 390FE (with a couple performance parts) i have been building for the past year to show the ricers at my school how pathetic their cars are. So here are a few questions i would like to ask.

1. what the biggest flaws are on my engine were.

2. is there anything that i can do besides taking off the emitions from the carb. for free cause i'm on a little tiny wee budget since i am only 16.

3. what are the most ineffecient parts on my engine.

4. will headers from a galaxy fit on a 66 thunderbird

5. is it street legal to run an exaust cut-out on an engine that does not need to pass emitions

6. is it legal to run a electric fuel pump bolted in the rear wheel well where it has no chance of hitting anything

7. how hard is it to tub out a car

8. can you buy drag radials with white walls

9. how hard is it to put a stall torque converter between a 390 and a C6

10. are the stock exaust manifolds as restrictive as they really look and how hard are they to change for headers

11. how expensive is it to get my heads ported by someone who knows what they are doing and do you have to pull the engine to take the heads off

12. Does the 390 have a mechanical lift camshaft or a hydrolic

13. does the 390 have a dry sump oil pump or a wet sump

14. is a high volume oil pump better than a high pressure pump

15. how easy is it to change the oil pump because i do not feel comfortable with a 30 year old stock oil pump

16. how do i make my holley "blue" electric fuel pump quieter
