I think I have a bad head gasket on an 89 5.0. I had posted to this
group a while ago asking for diagnosis tips, and a pep talk on doing
it myself. I got lots of good tips, but I guess I'm still chicken.
I'm probably going to break down and have it done. While the shop has
the intake off, what better time to put it back together with a new
intake? :-)
I'm looking for recommendations, and I figured this group would have
plenty of 'em. This car will be an occasional fun driver, never
seeing the track, and never stoplight racing, so I'd like to make sure
to keep daily driveability with no drastic shifts to the powerband.
If anything, I'd like to build up that 'invisible push' on your chest
when you accelerate out of a stop or on a downshift on the road. I
like Edelbrock, because of their affordability and trust in the brand
name, but I'm open to others.
It seems like their Performer is more for a track car, and last time I
looked, I remember leaning towards their Performer RPM or Performer
Jr.
I already have in-fender cold air, 73mm mass air meter, 70mm throttle
body, and MSD distributor and rotors.
Thoughts?
