I've been MIA for awhile! This motor was rebuilt with forged internals and flat top pistons in order to up compression and handle future nitro applications. The new motor overpowered the factory clutch immediately. But once that was switched out for a stage II it has been solid. The car is...

I am leaving the Kooks LT's on. It was the Kooks cat back system I was going to get rid of.

Hey guys, I've changed careers and moved across the country since the last update. I wanted to get the dyno sheets up for you all. So the initial dyno tune went great and produced 342.4/332.5 Not bad really. But I was really looking to break the 350/340 mark. As I drove the car and...

Everything is done! The tune is scheduled for 0800 tomorrow morning. I'm taking bets on what the last dyno pull will read. I am wet dreaming for 390. Time will tell! Lots of pictures and videos coming in the next two days.

It was quite a task! All in all though, it wasn't that bad. I am so glad I waited on the LT's until it came time to swap the motor. It was a breeze sliding this thing in as a unit. Mating up to the trans was a little bit more of an ordeal. But with one other guy helping out, it was...

With the exception of getting hung up on the heater hose, this went super well. If anyone has any questions about pulling a motor, please don't hesitate to PM me. Lots of learning took place. Haha. I'll be switching everything over to the new motor and setting it in the car tonight.

That was what I needed to hear! Thanks!

Hey guys, I am trying to pull the motor on my 2008 Bullitt. Everything has been going very well until I got to this heater hose. I can't get this quick connect off to save my life. I am using a 5/8 " quick disconnect tool for fuel and A/C lines. It seems like it is too short. Anyone had...

Alright guys, Today is the day! The garage is all prepped and I am walking out there to start the engine swap. Anyone have any tips before I get this started?

After reading your post I went out there and inspected them and they didn't look too bad. Put them in the sink out there and rinsed the baffles, big clumps of sand came rolling out. You're a life saver. Good call.

I'm sure a blower would be great! My thought was that everything except those underdrive pulleys would only compliment a procharger. That's the route i'm leaning towards for the future.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing earlier today. Totally agree with you. I was just considering it since it was out. T

Do you guys think that I should go through all of the trouble to paint this engine right? Or just clean the block up really well? From what I have been reading, the rattle can paints will not work well in the long term. Pros use a single stage automotive paint. I'm leaning towards just...

Wow. What an excellent build!
