All nighters are fun! But not with work the next day. I went to the track the next day. haha!! Kudos to you man! And yea, do it while you're single. Most women don't get it. Unless she's a car girl. Then that means you gotta share the funds for her car. That's no fun. haha!

He speaks the truth lol most girls I've dated don't get why I pay so much for parts for the mustang though I am currently talking to a car girl she drives a car from brand x aka the dark side Aka chevy lol trying to get her to switch over I don't know if I could pull an all nighter but you seem psyched to get it done so sweet !

need more updates

 

[SherrodMustang]

need more updates

I agree, ready to start it yet?

 

[BoostedGT480]

Been working on it since I got home. Had to go to lowe's and get hoses for the heat exchanger and everything...

Here are the updates:
- Installed driveshaft
- Installed BMR driveshaft loop (had to be modified to fit my 4" driveshaft because car is lowered. Driveshaft was hitting loop)
- Hooked up wires on alternator
- Hooked up all coolant lines
- Run lines to breather can
- Hooked up oil pressure connection and modified stock inlet to fit in connection for my AEM oil pressure line
- zip tied all loose lines near headers/exhaust
- tightened all fuel rail connections and lines
- checked all grounds and gave the car one last inspection
- took it off the jacks and rolled it into the garage

What needs to be done:
- put clamps on all coolant hoses
- run lines for oil relocation kit
- install intake and accessories
- install battery
- solder BAP wiring connections
- zip tie all loose wires in driver side footwell
- install 8 rib belt
- tighten sc belt
- find bolts and tighten fuel pressure regulator
- install trunk liner and plastic rear liner
- install bumper and lights
- bleed clutch

OH, and to top it off, I got to remove the KB, alt, fuel lines, rails, and manifold. Do you know why? Because Im STUUUUPID! I forgot to hook up the connection in the valley of the block. So, hopefully tomorrow I will be done. It seems like a lot of crap, but most of this is small stuff so hopefully I will start it up tomorrow or Friday. Just worrying myself to death that Im forgetting something so I'm re re re re re rechecking everything

I noticed your block does not have knock sensors. I have to assume you already have an updated startup tune...

yupp...new startup tune. Good catch btw

 

[BoostedGT480]

Disappointing night...I didnt get to start it. Spend a lot of time taking off the manifold and KB to plug in the connector in the valley. The 2.6's require you to put rtv silicone around the base so I caught hell scrapping it all off and getting a smooth surface again. So that took alot of time.

Then I routed all my hosed for the supercharger/heat exchanger/sc coolant tank.

Then I had to route all my hoses for my oil relocation kit and breather can.

Then had fun installing my intake with all the new hoses in the front bumper area where the filter is located.

The went to O'Reilys and got a new Red top battery, coolant, water wetter, oil, filter, and random clamps I needed to clamp stuff down.


So with ALL that being said, this is all thats left:
1) Solder BAP wiring
2) Install trunk panels and floor board
3) clean up the wires in driver foot area
4) bleed the clutch/slave

So it will be running for sure for the weekend. You are very close now, just take your time and do everything right.

Yea, hopefully tomorrow evening when I get off work. The longest part is going to be soldering the wires and that doesnt take that long..

Trying to figure out exactly how to bleed the clutch. I heard to just lift the driver side up and pump the clutch. But Im not sure how that works

 

[bmaxwell]

Yep just jack it up on the driver's side and get all the bubbles out. You'll see them coming outta the brake fluid reservoir I believe, and also just pump until the clutch feels solid and normal.

 

[BoostedGT480]

She's running!!!!!


and I already had an angry neighbor come storming up the street telling me to cut it off. Said "You have been doing this for the past couple of months"...ahahaha I said, I think your mistaken, this is the first time I have cranked it in almost 6 months...I apologized and continued to back it into the garage...

 

[bmaxwell]

Congrats!!!! And that neighbor needs to fuck off he doesn't know what it's like obviously
