ok I will let you know.. the trans was sent to them less than a year ago when i had a input shaft failure while there they did there 2nd revision of improvements on trans flow at cooler temps and some more things they had a artical in M&FF magazine within the last 6 months on the new improvements at that time I also added a PA deep pan with dipsick for extra cooling.

I thought you had a Kurgan tune?

i tuned it originally... when i left, i sent the file to Tim Barth so he could take care of Jamie.... they switched to E85 too after i left..

Thanks, I thought you originally tuned it.

I took the plunge for a FB Performance 4R70W Manual VB w/ transbrake hurst shifter 3rd & 4th gear lockup capability...
With bigger power it will be good.

 

[Hawgman]

you should have bought one of the ones in our classifieds. There are two that I know of

 

[JPO8GT]

I did th FB because of the completness of the kit and i like his multifunction controller with the saftey features example automaticly turns lock up off when depressing the brake no need to flip switch before braking etc theres more to it than that.. But thats one feature i really like. Will also use MSD 2 step with trans brake.

heres a pic of the custom cup holder switch panel that Alan at SOS made for me..
I am really pleased with how it turned out ..
The shifter i am going with is hurst pistol grip the top mounted red button it will be controling the trans brake and msd 2 step and it will control overdrive so Alan is going to change the 2 step switch shown to a auxilary lable this way i will have a spare switch.
When i first had him make it i wasent sure that i was going to control the 2 step and brake on same shifter switch.
This way when i activate the 2 step it activates the trans brake at same time it will also deactivate them at same time for better launch.

I'm new to Ford's and hope this hasn't been asked before. In the OP he's saying what length of stroke he's using to come up with a 326 cubes. Can these same numbers be used in a Coyote 5.0 to make the same cubes? Thanks

Tim closed Modular Powerhouse a couple years ago. He now tunes and works at Mr. Norms.

Tim has reopened MPH. His new shop used to be a car dealership and it even bigger than his last shop.

I did and I can't thank Bob enough for everything he did. When I first when to KMS and was running high 11's, when he was done I was running mid 10's. Keep me mind the car is heavy, 3,900.

i tuned it originally... when i left, i sent the file to Tim Barth so he could take care of Jamie.... they switched to E85 too after i left..

Thank you again for everything and for pointed me to Tim.

hello Jamie #1 LOL

 

[JPO8GT]

Pistons are here rotating assembly balanced and its been line bored and 3.8 cranks in the blocky.. glad to see parts coming together.
they just have to finish fitting the total seal hardend nitro coated steel rings they say it takes diamond wheel to finish them due to there hardness I chose a .300 down top ring along with the high quality rings and hard anodized coating... so going the extra step on quality ..and heat protection also went with larger exaust valve relief to match my 38.5 mm big valves and 50 thousandths deep for more ptv clearance..my theory is do all we can do that could help while were in the motor.. This shortblock should be able to take all i will ever throw at it.
Once the shortblock is finished and out of the engine shop Kurgan will be able to start bringing this beast back together and breathing new life into it!!
