Dont even start talking about the $$$...It's all this little stuuf here towards the end that is starting to add up.

 

Geez Chris, that's one heck of a nice engine. Really nice detailing. I am really looking forward to hearing some numbers from your combination. Should not be long now, keep up the high quality work. Be sure to contact us if you need anything.

 

No doubt...I think my truck has nickle and dimed me to death. It wasn't the high dollar stuff that cost the most, it was ALLLLL the little stuff that added up to so much $$$.

 

Your help has been priceless Scott I truely appreciate it. I know what you mean shock about the nickle and dime stuff really adding up quick. I've got over 2000 dollars in lines and fittings. It's driving me to the poor house. Not to mention all the other stuff I had to do just to make the driveline handle the excess power. If it wasnt for free labor there is no way I would have done the project.

 

Here's to free blood, sweat, and tears.

 

awsome job man. Is the hood going to fit with that bracket??????

 

Looking awesome!!

 

The pictures are decieving, but yes the hood will clear the bracket.

 

Here are some pics of the fuel feed lines completed. Still trying to figure out regulator placement so I can route the return lines.

 

Well it came to life last night in the garage. She sounds so good, much different tone than the other motor. And it raps over nicely as well. Oil pressure warm idle is right around 40psi and quickly jumps to over 80 with advanceing throttle. Pulls a rock steady 21 inches of vacuum at idle. No leaks to be found anywhere. I'm gonna redo the upper radiator hose with a stainless braided piece I dont like the way it looks compared to the rest of the motor. I just put the tires on it today. Hopefully I can get some small things wrapped up this week. I would like to road test it next week. And get to a shop to have the blower tubes adjusted and re-welded. Other than all of that she is looking real good.

Some pics from today. I removed the thrown together intake cause it looks bad. It was just to get it running.

 

 

Finished up the upper radiator hose assembly tonight.

 

WOW!!!! very nice work!!!!

is that a stock throttle body?

 

I'm still waiting on my TB. Hopefully I will get it this week. I was using a rigged navi TB, but with my intake the setup is much cleaner as the intake was designed to have the throttle cable come in from the back. I'm running a 2001 cobra TB twin 57.

 

Well I'm back on the street now with a decent tune. Thanks to Manny and Jeremy @HPP. We fabbed all new lines for the blower and intercooler. We also converted to a blow through setup. It drives great. And that procharger race bypass is loud as hell. The numbers are as follows 465/465 to the tires @ 11 degrees and 10-1 afr and 10 psi @5200 rpm. I will be spinning this motor to at least 6500 but am fuel limited to where I am at now. 60's are on order as well as a fuel cell to replace the huge 26 gallon monster currently on there. Going to switch to a weldon pump as well. Needless to say all were very impressed with the power put down low timing and low rpm and low boost. I am very happy. Now to improve on the fuel. Here are some pics. I still need to send all the piping to jet hot but here ya go.
