[whyask]

Im with Killr3v on this one ! I hate the stock ford one ! +2 for the Roush !

 

[sinabite]

can NOT wait to finished product. i wanna do pretty much the exact same, but i wanna maintain the v6 look, just so i can blow a couple of arrogant a$$holes minds.

Alright, finished the header tonight. Done for now. I'll work on it more tomorrow.

Got the pilot bearing "installed" Need to put the tranny, clutch, driveshaft and pinion flange on tomorrow.

Really not looking forward to setting the bearing pre-load...

 

[Kuro!]

Got the fuel system totally knocked out. My girlfriend stopped by and snagged a photo of me working on it.

I need a haircut.

And BIG THANKS to everyone whos been a huge help so far.

Antonio, Russell, Chad, Mike, SD, Power house mike, Justin from JPC. The list goes on.

i'm sure it's just the angle, but your intake looks like it's pointed at the driver's side headlight

 

[SirKnightTG]

Yeah I noticed that too. Something is crooked.

 

[Kuro!]

The intake wasn't bolted down when that photo was taken, I was just working on the fuel system.

Got the clutch and pressure plate on today. All our lifts are tied up so i'm trying to put the tranny in on the ground. It's being a bitch.

I'll post more if I can get it done tonight. Might have to call my girlfriend to get under the car and push from the cross member while I put the input shaft in.

You know what that sounds like???

Jesus Christ that transmission was a bitch. Huge thanks to my friend and coworker Russell for helping.

Like I said in that pic, the manifold wasnt bolted down because we had to remove it to put in the top two tranny bolts.

 

[rford426]

Coming right along

 

[HOLYWD]

Damn looks good !

 

[killr3v]

[Kuro!]

Headers bolted all bolted up also last night.

Hoping to have Chad fab the H-pipe up tonight but we will see.

 

[Racingtheburg]

Nice almost there...

Alright, so I got the radiator, fan and Reservoir mounted today after work, along with plugging in part of the harness. I also fixed the hood issue. Got a pre-painted Roush hood scoop on the way so everything should be looking good once the scoop goes on. I'm mediocre at cutting a straight line so I had one of our fabricators cut the hood. She seems to be getting closer...
