Understanding rocker arms and adjustable valvetrain geometry helps you pick the right components for your engine build

The typical four-stroke engine is made up of hundreds of parts. These parts are all designed and engineered to work together to make a prescribed amount of power, torque, engine longevity, and other parameters for the engine’s design (or more accurately what management has told the engineers it needs to do for a specific cost). As long as these parameters are kept in check, the engine will provide the horsepower, torque, longevity, et al, it was designed for. However, if you begin to make changes to that internal combustion engine, be it a camshaft upgrade, new high-flow cylinder heads, or any number of hard part upgrades, you have effectively changed that engine’s engineered design and steps need to be taken to ensure that the new parts are engineered to work with the other new or existing parts of the engine.

Making 500-plus horsepower by camming a naturally aspirated Coyote crate engine

Looking back at the two previous installments of “Mods for 5.0L Coyote Mods,” we see that the Four-Valve motor has come full circle. Starting with a 5.0L Coyote crate motor (PN M-6007-M50) and complete Controls Pack from Ford Racing Performance Parts, we first applied a few simple bolt-ons, then went whole-hog in Part 2 with boost from a Kenne Bell supercharger.

Heidt’s Pro G Front Suspension – Canyon Carver! Part 1

Heidts’ new Pro-G front suspension is now available for classic ‘65-’70 Mustangs

Mustang has always been a sporty car, however, it has never been a real sports car. Strip away its sexy sheetmetal, bucket seats, snappy V-8 power, floor shift, and that short deck/long nose persona and it’s still a Falcon platform short on testosterone.
