[mustang93]

Looks good!

[terminator03]

Looks Fast!

[midniteblue5.0]

Interesante! :d

[Bad89stang]

Nice job.

Turned out really good. Now let's see if it runs. :)

[Super Coupe]

Nice job.

Turned out really good. Now let's see if it runs. :)

Hopefully get it in thursday and crank it sometime during the weekend. :cool:

[Bad89stang]

Let me know if you need a hand. Don't know if you are local.

[Super Coupe]

Let me know if you need a hand. Don't know if you are local.

I talked to you on the phone a while back and I think you said you were a good ways off from me. Im from Greenville. I have a couple hands already but I appreciate the offer. I'll see you on the track though. :D

[Bad89stang]

No problem.

Bring it. :)

[Nate]

Hopefully it won't smoke...

[Super Coupe]

Hopefully it won't smoke...

I'm pretty confident we took care of all the issues.

[Nate]

I'm pretty confident we took care of all the issues.
We will see.

[fordracing19]

Boom

[Mustangman_2000]

that's a good set of heads and i like your choice of valve covers.

[Super Coupe]

Boom
Boom? :confused:

[1985GT]

chevy orange???

[Super Coupe]

I thought I would be a little different.

[lowthreeohz]

chevy orange???

Least it's not ford blue :D

[FSON]

SWEET!!
What compression did you build?

[Super Coupe]

SWEET!!
What compression did you build?

It's right around 10:1 with a 58cc head.

[1985GT]

since you painted it the wrong color, I'll give you $100 for it. :D I think the orange might look ok in my car.

[Super Coupe]

since you painted it the wrong color, I'll give you $100 for it. :D I think the orange might look ok in my car.

Who says a motor has to be a certain color? My next motor is going to be cammo. :D

[greenbullitt]

I thought I would be a little different.

so you paint your Ford engine a Chevy color? :confused:

[Super Coupe]

so you paint your Ford engine a Chevy color? :confused:

I painted it the color I wanted so yes.

[Skidmark]

Looks good.. what type of numbers are you looking out of it?

[Juiced4V]

looks really good man....f-k all the haters....

[FSON]

I hope you know Ford Blue would have netted you 5 extra horse. In the future, I hope you will have better sense. ;)

[Super Coupe]

Looks good.. what type of numbers are you looking out of it?

I would be happy if it did at least 315rwhp.

[greenbullitt]

I painted it the color I wanted so yes.

did you clay it?

[Super Coupe]

did you clay it?

Nope my engine builder did.

[greenbullitt]

Nope my engine builder did.

i thought you built it? :confused:

[Nate]

Nope my engine builder did.
so you didn't build it...and that would have took 5 mins to do...especially since you let your LAST engine builder worry about the clearances...I'd yank a head off and do it again.

[usmcluke]

Nope my engine builder did.
So by build you mean you bolted on the heads, intake, pullies, etc? WOW. :rolleyes:

[Nate]

So by build you mean you bolted on the heads, intake, pullies, etc? WOW. :rolleyes:
No he didn't bolt on the heads...or he should have clayed the pistons...

[usmcluke]

No he didn't bolt on the heads...or he should have clayed the pistons...
Even better. Granted I don't know how to build a shortblock BUT I don't claim that I built my motor either. Bolting on parts is not building a motor.

[Nate]

:rolleyes: Even better. Granted I don't know how to build a shortblock BUT I don't claim that I built my motor either. Bolting on parts is not building a motor.
Well I did heads and cam on my car...maybe I should say I cast/forged my motor out of aluminum and then built it too!

[silverhatch]

looks like an iron block

[greenbullitt]

looks like an iron block

Maybe because it is? not a whole lot of aluminum windsors running around here..

[The Raven]

Nope my engine builder did.


You are a complete and utter fucking tool.

[greenbullitt]

You are a complete and utter fucking tool.


QOTD??? LMMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Maverick]

Not only is it GM orange/red, it has a GM distributor in it!



Man, what a cobbled together pile...probably has Chevy valves in the heads too! Why didn't you just go all out buy a damn LS1 and drop it into your car?


I guess since you claim you built this, then claim your engine builder did, that you think this qualifies you as an engine builder...



NEWSFLASH!!! - it doesn't

[jon_king]

sorry, i'm a little slow here, what makes it a GM dist?? ...just trying to catch up with all the haten

It's OK, Teal has just turned a little green.

[Maverick]

It's OK, Teal has just turned a little green.


You guys need to turn on/fix your sarcasm meters...

[Sergio]

Nope my engine builder did.

oops!

Dude he isn't mad at that. He is just mad that he is taking the credit for something that isn't his.

[FSON]

You guys need to turn on/fix your sarcasm meters...
Sorry, forgot my funny face... ;)

[jon_king]

hell, i got chevy valves in my heads, i didn't think it would make it any slower and they were cheaper

[Maverick]

oops!


HA HA!!! PWND!!!

[grape]

do you run a dirt modified...........nice side laying in the background? :confused:

[jon_king]

of course if i had clayed my motor the first time i wouldn't have broken the original valves off in the first place

[FSON]

If he mates it to a Powerglide, people will be very confused!
That's OK, leave them confused at the line.

[OsoSlow]

ARE THOSE SToCK HEAD BOLTS!!!!!! :eek:

[Maverick]

If he mates it to a Powerglide, people will be very confused!
That's OK, leave them confused at the line.


Funny...i've run my best time with a Powerglide behind Ford power;)


<----- 9.47
























at 148 mph!

[FSON]

Funny...i've run my best time with a Powerglide behind Ford power;)


<----- 9.47

I know you painted the glide "Ford Teal".

[grape]

so does this kid run dirt modifieds or what? or is that in his "engine builders" shop........

[greenbullitt]

ARE THOSE SToCK HEAD BOLTS!!!!!! :eek:

and the stud is on the driver side instead of the passenger...oh well its not efi anymore...

[Maverick]

I know you painted the glide "Ford Teal".


Nope...it was natural aluminum...but it did have DEDENBEAR on it...and a trans diaper just in case...

It was a slow street car...that is all (92 Dark Green coupe)

[Maverick]

and the stud is on the driver side instead of the passenger...oh well its not efi anymore...


That's probably for the 3 foot long swing set chain he's gonna use as a torque strap!!!:rolleyes:


Somewhere in a Greenville/Royce City playground, a child is crying because someone stole the only swing...

[Super Coupe]

i thought you built it? :confused:

I did build it. I don't know how he checked the valve clearance. I said that without thinking. He told me I could either run my F cam or my comp cam and I would not have any problems. All he had to do was open the reliefs up some. It's fine.

[Super Coupe]

so you didn't build it...and that would have took 5 mins to do...especially since you let your LAST engine builder worry about the clearances...I'd yank a head off and do it again.

no

[Super Coupe]

So by build you mean you bolted on the heads, intake, pullies, etc? WOW. :rolleyes:

No I built the whole thing. There wasn't one thing put together when I got it.

[Super Coupe]

Not only is it GM orange/red, it has a GM distributor in it!

NEWSFLASH!!! - it doesn't
It actually does have chevy style valves.
Last time I checked this wasn't a gm distributor. <a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a263/tamestang/IMG_0307.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"></a>

[Super Coupe]

do you run a dirt modified...........nice side laying in the background? :confused:

That's my cousins. He runs dirt mods at devils bowl. That an old door panel from last season. He is just using it as a template for the new body. The same person that built his motor did the machine work on mine. His put down 575 to the tires. That same person builds 410 cubic inch World of Outlaw motors putting down 800 horse power. If he says I won't have valve clearance issues then I believe him.

What the hell are you talking about. I'm not running that crap.

[mustangguy289]

What the hell are you talking about. I'm not running that crap.
Whats wrong with using a chain lmao... better then breaking motor mounts everytime you luanch on the slicks.... btw whats the purpose of the one head stud and the rest bolts?

Looks good. Dropped mine off at the engine shop today. Hope to have it done first week of march.

I don't use it for anything. I can't remember what it held down when it was fuel injected.

[Nate]

no
When you have ptv things again...don't cry to us.

[mustang87]

well,arn't we special

[Super Coupe]

When you have ptv things again...don't cry to us.

I will lay down 100 dollar bill right now it doesn't have any issues. They didn't even have to replace any of the valves from the last time.

[Da Prez]

how cute...

[Ex President]

When you have ptv things again...don't cry to us.
He won't... :rolleyes:




And yes.... he did "assemble" this motor himself. He was in fact "supervised" through most of the process, but he did the work...... I witnessed all of it.

;)

[Nate]

No issues what so ever and it fires first time on start up? lol...

[Super Coupe]

No issues what so ever and it fires first time on start up? lol...

Yes

[Nate]

Yeah you want me to get it on tape? As soon as theres fuel in the bowls it will start no doubt in my mind.
Yeah I do want you to get in on tape.

I'll go 100 on that if you go 200 on racing me motor to motor.

[barronj]

And yes.... he did "assemble" this motor himself. He was in fact "supervised" through most of the process, but he did the work...... I witnessed all of it.

;)

So who's decision was it to re-use the stock head bolts?

What other corners were cut?

[Super Coupe]

Yeah I do want you to get in on tape.

I'll go 100 on that if you go 200 on racing me motor to motor.

I don't race for money. Show up at the track and I will race you all day long. If not then don't waste my time.

[Super Coupe]

So who's decision was it to re-use the stock head bolts?

What other corners were cut?

Why does it need anything else with as much power as its making? It doesn't need them. No corners were cut. It has what it needs. It's balanced and has good rod bolts. It's not making that much power.

[Nate]

I don't race for money. Show up at the track and I will race you all day long. If not then don't waste my time.
How much money at the track? Quick to throw out bets to see if you didn't fuck something up on a motor but won't run for money...how about you not waste my time.

[Super Coupe]

How much money at the track? Quick to throw out bets to see if you didn't fuck something up on a motor but won't run for money...how about you not waste my time.

Like I said. Show up at the track and race for free. I don't care if I lose a race. You make 150 more hp than I do. If you don't win then thats pretty sad. Oh and you were the one offering the race not me.

[Nate]

You were the one offering the bet of it firing on the first try with no issues...take that money and put it on a race trick.

Put your bottle in and run 6's ...I'm not that fast.

[Super Coupe]

You were the one offering the bet of it firing on the first try with no issues...take that money and put it on a race trick.

It will run 6's eventually but I have a ways to go before I can approach that time. Right now I am just looking for some high 7's na.

[Nate]

That's all my car runs... :confused:

[Super Coupe]

Well I have already said I didn't care to race you in another post when you posted a smart ass remark about me being deaf or something. So go find another slow mustang to pick on.

[Nate]

aww put on your big boy undies and come back when you can handle it. quick to throw down a bet and very quick to back pedal when something actually comes up..."sweet" motor...hope it doesn't smoke.

[Ex President]

His put down 575 to the tires.

It's actually closer to 603 now..... :eek:

[BottleRocket]

fancy shit :p

[Super Coupe]

aww put on your big boy undies and come back when you can handle it. quick to throw down a bet and very quick to back pedal when something actually comes up..."sweet" motor...hope it doesn't smoke.

Sounds good. When I can handle you fast ass car I will hit you up.

[92Notch]

Nate you still going to spot me that car length? from a 20 roll?

[Super Coupe]

Nate you still going to spot me that car length? from a 20 roll?

He will only race for money.

[Nate]

Nate you still going to spot me that car length? from a 20 roll?
Yeah...pony up the cash lil boy.

[SSMAN]

i thought you built it? :confused:



LMAO!! Busted!

[92Notch]

Yeah...pony up the cash lil boy.I race for fun because i dont care who is faster or slower than me......so when ever you want to race for fun let me know

[turbostang]

James probably thinks the distributor is the HEI, It appears to be a MSD, or knock off of some sort.

The obvious problem to me - is the re-used stock torque-to-yield headbolts and the stud that is on the wrong side of the block. ;)

[greenbullitt]

Nate you still going to spot me that car length? from a 20 roll?

if he wont i will... ;) im your huckleberry....

[quadforce]

Nice :cool:

[92Notch]

if he wont i will... ;) im your huckleberry....sounds good to me....im just wanting to go out and see how well my car runs because I have only raced 2 people since I put the 5 speed back in and neither have track times

[92Notch]

The obvious problem to me - is the re-used stock torque-to-yield headbolts and the stud that is on the wrong side of the block. ;)i asked him about that too and he claims it doesn't need anything else. Its safe to say this is the 3rd time at least those head bolts have been used. (stock motor, first 306, this 306) :eek:

[turbostang]

That's ok, He'll be putting in headgaskets soon. ;)

[greenbullitt]

That's ok, He'll be putting in headgaskets soon. ;)

:eek:

tellin it like it is...and he wants to put a 250 shot to it...i think i might have studded it for that reason alone!

[92Notch]

:eek:

tellin it like it is...and he wants to put a 250 shot to it...i think i might have studded it for that reason alone! :eek: he is going to double his hp...he is trying to be like the turbo guys :D

I am not busted. :)

I bet I won't! :D

[Super Coupe]

:eek: he is going to double his hp...he is trying to be like the turbo guys :D

I am not going to try to run a 250 shot on it. My motor guy said don't go over 175 and I shouldn't have to many worries.

[turbostang]

I bet I won't! :D

um, yeah. It will. ;)

[barronj]

I am not going to try to run a 250 shot on it. My motor guy said don't go over 175 and I shouldn't have to many worries.

So you either have stock rods (stock rod bolts) or hyper pistons or both.

You're a glutton for punishment.

[92Notch]

he has stock rods with arp bolts and forged slugs

[Super Coupe]

um, yeah. It will. ;)

How do you know how old the head bolts are? You don't so you don't know.

[turbostang]

How do you know how old the head bolts are? You don't so you don't know.


You're right, I don't know how old the head bolts are, but that doesn't matter.. What matters is how many times they've been used. ;)

It's ok, When it pops - I'll help you push it off of the track if I'm there.

Ok cool. So once you torque them down once you need to get a new set?

http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?part=ARP%2D154%2D3601&autoview=skuyes stocks are single use

[Maverick]

Only the newer factory ones from about 1990 on up...


Head studs for the win!!!!

[barronj]

My motor guy said don't go over 175 and I shouldn't have to many worries.

he has stock rods with arp bolts and forged slugs

Then the only two reasons I can think of for not going any higher than 175 is b/c of a limitation by the fuel pump's capacity, or he knows that you're re-using stock head bolts.

Spend $40 on some ARP head bolts, and pill it up!

[turbostang]

http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?part=ARP%2D154%2D3601&autoview=sku


Yes, like mentioned already, The stockers are meant to be used only one time. They are called "Torque To Yield" bolts.

I am going to get the head bolts. 175 shot will get me pretty close to 500rwhp and thats getting close to splitting blocks. I'm not saying you will split a block at that horse power level, I'm just saying thats starting to get close and I want my motor to last me a good while.

No I have been working the last couple days and havn't got it in yet. I'll be there at redline if its open with the camera I don't know how to work. jk :p

[92Notch]

if you do go get a set of arp head bolts get another set of head gaskets, you can't reuse the ones you have

[Super Coupe]

Why can't I reuse them if I take them out one at a time and replace them with the ARP head bolts.

Unless someone can tell me why it would matter I'm not switching them. These gaskets were high.

Ive heard from some that as long as they havnte been through a heat cycle you might be ok. If they blow they blow. lol


Gaskets are high but youll regret saving 70 bucks when it does go.

lol. Not a lot of difference in changing them now then changing them later, besides taking the headers off.
