Project 700+ WHP

I've also done 2 Fore fuel system installs. Holler if you need help. I've got the fuel pump lock ring too which saves a ton of frustration.

Sorry not HF, Tractor Supply..

I ran a bunch on ~800RWHP with the stock motor until the oil pump gears let go. :-/

Thanks! I do have upgraded oil pump gears.

A cheaper option is getting a piece of steel and drilling some holes and making a longer boom.

The consequences of failure made me not do this, but it did cross my mind.

Ya I get it. But we are talking about half a foot reach here. As long as you make sure there is lots of boom inside and use use the same grade steel.

I would do it. Just an option like I said.

Shit you're in Katy! I need you to come pull this motor

Thanks for the offer, if I get to that point of upgrading fuel I might holler at you.

Yessir I am. What part of town are you in? I might be able to swing by and lend a hand.

I am sure I'll be able to figure this one out. It's not my first fight with a motor swap, it's just been 15 years.

I live in the champion's forest area if you get bored and want to see the carnage one day and have a beer.

Mine is the same way. I'm just waiting for my shortblock to be finished up, so there isn't a lot going on at my garage. :-/

How is the roush treating you? I sold my Roush not too long ago and went to the dark side. [emoji23] I ran the 79mm pulley on E85 for about a year before I took it off.

Ilove the Roush. It's the best mustang I have owned.

What did you replace it with?

Mine is just a GT with the blower added by me. I swapped to two 60mm turbos.

I have been reading clutch threads all morning...

I'd like to keep nice street mannerisms but replace my clutch while I have this thing apart. Since it's an MT-82 I didn't really see putting RST/RXT money into it.

What's the next best thing? Or should I keep it stock?

I'll have to measure but I'm almost positive the boom on my engine hoist is much longer.

You're welcome to come get it and use it if you would like? Unfortunately it isn't a folding one so it will have to be loaded in the back of a truck.

Thanks for the offer on that. I just went back to harbor freight and bought the 2 ton hoist which definitely has a longer boom.

On another note if anybody needs a 1 ton lift with a 45 inch boom I have a spare available!

I see you got a new cherry picker but I've been able to use a shorter one by removing the front bumper. Nice build by the way!

This is what ai do as well. We have a large one at work I use if it is going to be a fast swap so I don't have to pull the bumper and IC.

What's the trick in getting the bumper off? I found 8 bolts, and assumed it would drop off. But even after getting the deadblow hammer after it, it's solidly attached.

If I remember right it has some goop on it that glues it together. I don't know what the trick is, but maybe try prying it apart.

I used a large chizle and the BFH to separate it.

Awesome. I could use some BFH time after fighting that exhaust.

Gotta love a BFH, one of my favorite tools lol!
