you WILL BLOW the pistons for sure they are no good for power adder and less for turbo, a customer of mines blew 3 times the pistons so we went Diamond. Trust the guys that are telling you save your block and before you use them send them back and pay the xtra for Diamond...

cut the harness going to the windshield wiper motor and re-routed it directly the cowl so the harness is hidden.

body work under the hood is done, needs a final sanding and then some paint!.....will be taking care of that on Saturday.

mount for the steering pump resevoir

got my heads back, cleaned,checked with new lash adjusters,followers and 127300 cams installed. I have the VCT block off v-10 plates going on with lockouts!

i am deleting the coolant tank and will be putting a radiator cap fill neck directly on my existing upper radiator hose, i switched out the lower coolant/oil adaptor to this frpp one that is threaded for lines going to the remote oil filter/oil cooler....this adaptor has a 2" coolant fitting vs the 1.5" stock one....so i removed the 1.5" fitting from the radiator and replaced with a 2", so all i will have down low is a straight 2" hose with zero adaptors.

spec aluminum billet flywheel

i have everything to put the motor together at this point, just picked up a BMR k-member....so next i finish the motor, put it all together on the engine stand, with k-member, a/c and steering pumps attached....so i can start the new hotside for the turbo....forwards facing headers that will clear the a/c and power steering.

Nice progress man that's going to be a beast for sure!, nice attention to detail.

 

[stang67gt]

looking good! so are you going to tune it yourself?

 

[Irishman]

Looking good. I would love to do a wire tuck on mine but I'm to impatient haha

 

[one eyed willy]

lockouts installed,new cam phaser bolts...

picked up some powder coated goodies and BMR k-member....

motor is all together, primed up and ready to go....still gotta finish the engine bay and reconstruct the turbo piping....

for the methanol kit....not sure if im going to use this yet,i have some gas tank sealer to protect it from the methanol...


removed the VCT solinoids, put in the v10 bypass plates.....cam covers will get powder coated red once i figure out where the bungs will go to releave crank case pressure!

 

[GT500KR]

man looks great... rewire and shaveing all the non essentials a plus... "subscribed" when are you taking other s197's to have same done haha im next! dibs dibs

 

[JeremyH]

All this work and you but the those ugly valve covers back on? lol

.....cam covers will get powder coated red once i figure out where the bungs will go to releave crank case pressure!

covers are on right for just temp.....i will be welding 4 #10 bungs to the covers to allow venting to breather tanks on each side.....i just dont want anything getting into the motor for now while i figure out where the bungs are going.....since i no longer have VCT solinoids i will be putting bungs over those old holes and probably 1 more towards the rear of the valve covers and plugging off the original PCV holes.

With 4 #10 bungs I assume you are going to do a cranckcase evac. set up ?

i will see how well these do for venting, for now i plan to run 2 hoses from each valve cover to a single breather can with 2 inlets........i think that will be plenty.

 

[JeremyH]

I agree #10 will be plenty for venting. Gotcha on the vc's, cant wait for this to all come together man!

 

[Bobby]

looking good man

 

[ZmanM3]

Looking pretty awesome.

 

[one eyed willy]

fabbed a new bracket to support the turbo, old setup had almost zero support. i like this alot more....tomorrow i throw the k-member on and start figuring out the headers....

 

[BruceH]

Nice. Thanks posting the pics, you have an interesting 3rd incarnation going on.

 

[one eyed willy]

im going to have a ton of things going to powder coat,jet hot coat and to get polished......lol

i will be modifing the valve covers quit a bit as well as the C&L instake manifold....

 

[GrnBullitt08]

Looking good.

 

[Mach1Marauder]

Interesting way to support the turbo.

Just a fyi on the BMR, it's a stupid strong part. A hard crash at the track proved that! It tweaked the front subframe at the mounting points far more than it actually tweaked the k-member. I was very impressed with how little it was damaged.

 

[Bobby]

send me that bracket and i will powder coat that for you. that will make it blend right in
