lots of progress

Lots of progress today kiddies, clutch, headers, crossover pipe installed, motor dropped in, transmission installed, driveshaft hooked up, starter, wastegate installed, oil relocation kit installed, powersteering hooked up and installed, clutch line adjusted, boost controller installed... almost everything. Basically gotta drop in the radiator, pour in some coolant and oil, and double check everything, install the compressor piping, upper intake manifold, distributor, plugs and wires, and start it up and set the timing, if all is well we can put the wheels on and take her for a quick tuning run.

More progress and pics tomorrow.

lots of parts on the motor today

So, today the cam chain cover, water pump, rockers, pushrods, balancer, oil pan, etc went on. Tomorrow it will be ready for the turbo kit and flywheel clutch bellhousing, and then it can be dropped in. as always here are some pics.

Well, today ryan installed the heads, and lower intake manifold. Cleaned up the cam chain cover and getting it all setup to pile together tomorrow night. Here is a nice action shot

Thanks Bill!

1 head on, pushrod checked

So ryan tossed on one of the cyl heads today, and checked the length with a pushrod length checker and spring. Looks like the 6.500s he already has will be perfect. So that means we can hustle tomorrow if we wanna start tossing things together, everything is checking out good so far, He has all the gaskets ready. Should go together smoothly, its only the 40th time we have done this hahaha.

I will probably take some pics tomorrow, more work will get done, and i can even take pics of the progress so far. I was so tired tonight i was basically sleeping in my lawn chair, while he and his uncle checked the rod length lol.

We even managed to fix my non-working windsheild sprayers, cracked and broken hose, just put a rubber hose over the two broken pieces and walah. She sprays again! We are also trying to get ideas to install something different to my air horn motor on my taurus, we were thinking some hose changes and a duck call or something funny, kazoo, If you have any suggestions please feel free to input.

Mustang parts are ready

while we were 4 wheelin, jeff beezer called us and said that the heads and the block are ready to pickup... its looking like that will happen Monday

shortly after all the shit is picked up, it will obviously start going back together.

wish us luck
