    Built 4.6L 3v motor for sale

    Decided to sell my built motor now and use the money to fund some other projects on the car since I'm doing a GT500 shortblock later on. I got this motor from Henson Racing Engines in OKC. Currently the motor has about 4k miles on it with zero issues. I can post some videos of the motor...

    Help with a fuel system

    Most of the details on my R-Spec build are starting to come together. One of the big questions is my fuel system though. Right now I'm sticking with my built motor and shooting for 600-800 on e85. Eventually, once I'm done building a big motor and possibly upgrading blowers, I'm going to be...

    Intake routing

    I'm currently trying to figure out how I should route my intake setup for the R-Spec. I'm looking at the Cobra Jet CAI system among a few others, but my chief concern is how to box the CAI in and route air to it. As I see it, I have four options. 1) Route the air from the hood. Either...

    Stroke, bore, and motor integrity questions

    Since I committed to the DOB R-Spec, I've been looking for ways to improve on my current motor. A lot of specifics are up in the air as this project is a ways off, but I'm trying to do some research and ask questions now so I can start to form an idea of the final goal and cost. Concern #1 is...

    Any experience with wet sleeving?

    Does anyone here have any experience with wet sleeving? For those that have never heard of that, like me twenty minutes ago, it's where the sleeves are enlarged and cooling jackets are built into them. Supposedly it makes the block much stronger and even improves cooling. Darton apparently...

    WTS various aftermarket parts

    Alrighty, now that my blower and manifold are sold, I'm parting out everything else. Lot's of goodies for anyone putting a blower on a factory motor or wanting to upgrade their current setup. Open to offers, especially if you're local. I'm in Houston, but I do occasionally make trips to...

    Selling my SVE axleback setup. Had it for about 4k miles, bought it still wrapped up from another forum member. Looking to get $200 shipped in CONUS plus PP fees.

    DOB Manifold and Ported M122

    Putting my DOB GT450 manifold and ported M122 blower up for sale. Manifold is anodized black. No major damage or anything, but one of the thermostat bolts is stripped. I've just been too lazy to tap it for a bigger bolt since it's worked perfectly fine anyways. Blower is ported and polished...

    Strange Full Floating Axle Kit

    I've been mulling over the idea of doing full floating axles on my car for a while now. It would give me the ability to run as much power as I want, launch hard, use fixed calipers in the rear, and corner hard. Unfortunately, all the floating axle kits I've found are EXPENSIVE and mostly for...

    Big, bad, massive heat exchanger

    With my move to the RR-Spec I have a need for a serious heat exchanger. I'm removing the A/C and moving the bumper a little further out. That should provide me enough real estate to get something gigantic up there. Obviously there are no bolt on HEs for my application, but I had some...

    To pull or not to pull, that is the question

    Now that I've finally decided to go straight into the RR-Spec and eliminate my AC system, I've been looking at pulling a few other things. Most of these I still haven't decided on. Front bumper. I would be moving the front number forward where the foam is now to free up a few inches for a...

    Anyone use a Main Bearing Brace?

    So I've been reading through Sean Hylands book on the modular motors, and I have a question about a part he recommends. They make a brace that connects all the mains together and to the block via the oil pan bolts. To me, this seems like a fantastic idea. Not only does it brace the block...

    Problems with Camshaft degreeing

    So I'm having some issues with my cam/phaser limiter install. Currently I have a set of Livernois Stage 3 Blower cams. They were previously installed but I finally got around to doing phaser limiters. Got the limiters in just fine, but I'm not 100% sure my cams are degreed properly and I...

    Front drivers side wheel squeak?

    Recently I installed a set of GT500 Brembo brakes with Hawk track pads and stainless steel lines. Now I've noticed when I make spirited left hand turns my front drivers side wheel has a really loud squeaking noise. When I was changing the oil the other day that wheel was a little harder to...

    Deatsch Werks: A++ Experience

    Had an A+ experience with Deatsch Werks today. Yesterday I spoke on the phone with Chris at DW. He was EXTREMELY helpful with their products and what would best suit my system, and went the extra mile to help me decide on what exactly I would need. I visited their store today to meet with...

    Plug and Play BAP from VMP?

    I've been investigating different options for upping my fuel system lately. I came across this on VMPs website:http://vmptuning.com/07-12-gt500-fuel-system/vmpamppnp-y/ Looks like it's basically a Boost a Pump with connectors and all that already set up, which makes A LOT of sense to me...

    WTB: ID1000s and either fuel pump upgrade or BAP

    I'm making the switch to e85 here soon and need to upgrade my fuel system. Lito and I agreed Injector Dynamics injectors would be best. I'm going with the ID1000s so I can upgrade later without needing new injectors. Anyone running any deals on ID1000s? PM me! Used ones are alright as well...

    What type of cooling mod should come first?

    Sorry if this has been covered. I've been keeping up with some of the other cooling threads but those are a little different than what I'm looking for. I'm looking at improving my current cooling systems, but I'm attempting to judge which will have the greatest positive effect as I can't...

    Exhaust clearance with Griggs Torque Arm

    Since I switched to a MAC long tube and prochamber setup, I've been having issues with the prochamber and the pipes immediately on the downstream side of it contacting my Griggs Torque Arm. Originally, I took some rubber exhaust wrap and padded the pipes, then took a steel exhaust strap with...

    Why no modular billet engine blocks?

    So the master machinist at my university asked me a question last week that I had no clue on. Basically he had heard of Dart Billet aluminum blocks, and wondered if anyone offered a similar deal for modular ford motors. I googled for a bit and couldn't find anything, so I can only assume the...
