I've been meaning to post this but wanted to wait until we got a little further along. We still have a lot of work left to do. I will update this as things move along and I get time to.

We originally got this car with what was suppose to be an AEM Series 2 and Ferrea valve train. We found an AEM Version 1 and Supertech valve train with stock valves, stock keepers and some broken titanium retainers. The exhaust valves were severely bent. Compression came out to 181.5, 157.0, 159.0, 181.5 and leakdown came out to 2%, 36%, 30%, 5%. The engine had less than 500 miles on it.

Out with the old in with the new We pulled the engine. Tore it down. Sent it to our machine shop for a fresh hone, deck surface and polished the crank journals. Fitted the rear of the car with a Ford 8.8 rear end and Drive Shaft Shop 5.9 axles from Full Blown Motorsports and a Toyota V160 transmission we rebuilt with zero miles.

We have a lot of plans for the car. We're going to be fitting it with a ProEFI Pro 128 engine management system with fuel pressure feedback, full flex fuel feedback, traction control and more. The car is going into paint.

 

woah, suscribed

 

Looks like the start of a great build. What are you planning for the turbo, intake manifold, fuel system, and suspension?

 

Good lord. Sign me up !

I knew I forgot something. Already have an Inline Pro intake manifold we modified a little bit. Turbo will be a Precision Turbo and Engine. Fuel system will consist of IP PTFE lines, Weldon fuel pump and Weldon fuel pump controller. Suspension is still up in the air but we're deciding between three different setups.

 

Cant wait to this thing back in town and all finished up. The work looks awesome so far.

 

Super happy with the progress so far...cant wait till it comes home this time
As for the locals who see this I never sold the car just needed the time to get regroup, hopefully people understand
And for the rest induction performance is doing an amazing job

Thanx guys
