Posted June 18, 201015 yr Just some pictures of my car where she has been, and what I'm doing now.....When i first had her painted i have had this car since i was 17 had a 307 in it when i got it... First time i got back from iraq took it out put a 455 in it. in 2005
June 18, 201015 yr Author SO far this year this is what I have done so far since i have been home....Torker intake, nitrous olds 442 c heads, headman headers 3" collectors, x pipe, flow masters all 3"
June 18, 201015 yr Author The rear end had 2:49 gears in it with an open diff... so i put in a posi unit with a set of 3:42 gears... adjustable upper control arms so i could set my pinion angle. changed all the bearings and seals and put new stronger diff cover.Took the rims off they serve no purpose now... and no 22's or 26's going on this ether....When i took the old exhaust off had room to install the holly pump took the old mechanical pump off and put on a block off plate..
June 18, 201015 yr Author so far I'm testing seeing what will fit i haven't cleaned it all up mounted exhaust hangers, wire looms and such.. I have had a lot of mustangs try me just off the sound of my car at the stop lights.. I also had time to install my new 100.4 still tuning on it . put carpet in my trunk put everything back in it.
July 28, 201015 yr This is so cool. I'm just sad to see the wheels go, they really looked good.x2, but if for the better then hey cant argue with that. Nice start and cant wait to see where this is going
December 19, 201014 yr Author Got my block back from the machine shop, had it bored out .030 and new cam bearings installed. bottom end is still at the machine shop. forged pistons, factory rods with arp bolts. and getting a rebalanced.I filled the exhaust crossover ports with aluminum from some old pistons I melted, cc them. 2004r transmission it has the stock cluch and friction count, wide band, sonnex servo. I rebuilt front pump with 10 vane rotor, Teflon Coated Pump Bushing, elevated pressure regulator spring, and high output pump slide spring. I replaced stator support and sun shell with hardened units, and stock valve body with the tci constant pressure valve body. Blocked off the accumulators. Installed an auxiliary filter from a Allison transmission to keep it all clean. Had to take it back apart. Forward clutch piston broke. need to find another.Burnt up the clutch pack in the process.What its supposed to look like on the Right...
December 20, 201014 yr Author Pretty awesome project you got going!Looks Fun!The fun part will be driving it without it falling apart. Hopefully I can get the tranny right to hold up to the big block. right now its only behind the weak 307...
