I'm sick and tired of turning wrenches and going nowhere. We just tried to adjust the rockers to eliminate a vacuum problem and now I have rockers tapping hard and it runs worse than ever. It's a simple fix, but I've sunk too much money into this car to keep going with it and am ready to take a loss. What do you think this car is worth. You can see it here... http://www.indianastangers.com/2Fast...tang/index.htm

It's a 1990 LX 5.0. Here's the mods...
• 76mm C&L MAF
• 24lb SVO injectors
• Walbo 190lph fuel pump
• 65mm Explorer TB
• MAC cold air kit
• K&N air filter
• GT-40 intake
• 1" Phenolic spacer
• Ported stock ET7E heads - 3 angle valve job - shaved .030
• F303 cam
• Omega 1.6 roller rockers
• Crane valve springs
• Ford racing valve covers
• MAC 1 5/8" long tube headers
• MAC 2 1/2" Pro Chamber
• MAC 2 1/2" cat back with chrome tips
• MSD Blaster coil
• FMS 3.73 gears
• King Cobra clutch and pressure plate
• Taylor Spiro Pro plug wires
• Taylor battery box in hatch
• 130 amp 3G alternator
• Stewart high volume water pump
• Heavy duty radiator
• Ford 5300C Springs
• Koni Sport Yellow struts and shocks
• BBK caster/camber plates
• 16" Cobra R rims
• 225/50ZR/16 Dunlop SP Sport 8000 tires
• Pro 5.0 shifter
• A/C, smog pump, and rear seat delete
• Custom made shifter cover and knob
• Aluminum foot pedals
• MAC white face gauge overlay
• KSR white face A/C control overlay

BTW, every one of these mods are less than a year old. I've totaled up the list and come to around $6,000 in mods alone. Also, I just installed a brand new set of Ford Racing valve covers so don't pay any attention to those nasty stockers in the pics.

Any opinions as to what I should do will be considered, but I am for the most part fed up with this sh!t. Thanks for listening.
