Project Large Caliber - Cam's NEW 2009 Bullitt Build Thread

[Wicked GT]

No shit, where is the "First Fire Up" video...? Your slacking on us!

 

[joeymustang]

Any startup vids?

EDIT:

ah shit, someone got ahead of me.

Jeez, all of you hold your panties on.

I gotta work to afford these ridiculous projects.

Plan is to work tomorrow morning and take to the shop in the afternoon.

To Do List
1. Stop looking and actually work on the car.
2. Hoist up engine
--Remove Front Fan Shroud/Radiator
--Install 2013 GT500 Oil Pan/Oil Return
--Install 2010-14 GT500 Flywheel/Bolts/Crank Bearing
--Lay down A/C Lines.
--Drop the big boy 5.4 into the cavernous deeps of where a 3V used to reside.
--Mock up and install SS FRPP Clutch Cable
--Install 2010-2012 GT500 Clutch (decided to keep it)

I am missing a O2 sensor on one of the manifolds so hopefully I can get one tomorrow.

Sam if you are reading this.... does the GT and GT500 share the same 02 sensors in the manifold and cats? Forgot to look this week.

After the engine is in the car, then comes the fun part for me to locate what I am missing to complete this master piece. It is going to slow down for a bit since I have some other money priorities to take care of. If I sold that 3V by now, I wouldn't have to do this. So help me sell it and you get $100

Last big ticket items include:
C&R Radiator
C&R Heat Exchanger
FRPP Dual Fuel Pump
2013/14 GT500 1-Piece Carbon Fiber Driveshaft
MGW Shifter

In the mean time I need to do the following also -

*Remove Rear End and Paint it using self etching primer and gloss black paint. Remove and replace fluids/axle cover.

*Install all new suspension components - Side note: Anyone with the BMR K-member need camber plates to counter act caster in the alignment?

*Install Spacers

*Install Brembo Brakes/Line Lock

My alignment was spot on after the K-member install according to the spec sheet I got.

Cam u know C&R has an even bigger heat exchanger now with bigger fans?

Yes, both front, and both rear o2 sensors are the same between GT and GT500 for 07-09 at least.

Good to know, someone was telling me to get camber plates to correct the caster the BMR K-member causes over the stock piece. The FRPP L springs are only a 1.25" drop all the way around so an alignment without bolts and the GT500 mounts is all I plan to run. Simple is better for me in this segment.

I did see they released a new competition series. I'm curious about it, but am a little hesitant because I am keeping the stock GT bumper on the car and am unsure how much I can stick behind it. Trying to find a link to it atm.

Good to know. I'll pull the manifold 02 off my 3v motor and replace it with a new one later.

 

[GallopingFord]

Shit just got real.

Also valve covers didn't like brake cleaner. lol time for powder coating

 

[ford20]

Well that's unfortunate. At least it is an easy fix and it seems like you are really starting to get under way.

Having trouble with the 2013 windage tray... Won't line up right

 

[Wicked GT]

Get off the interwebs and get back to the car dammit! Your stalling!

 

[JEWC_Motorsports]

[GallopingFord]

 

[JEWC_Motorsports]

Nice photoshop job...........

 

[lito]

Am I the only one that every time I see this thread tittle I think of a really big Dodge Caliber?

 

[Wicked GT]

hahaha Lito! I thought the exact same thing the first time I saw the post...

 

[GallopingFord]

Ordered what I'm missing -

Power steering return line. The entire assembly that wraps around the a/c condenser.

Brake booster cable

Fuel line thing

(Can't remember name) Power steering cable, since the 3v one was too big.

All the a/c lines are all hooked up. Flywheel is attached too. Need some bolts to mount clutch and the separator plate between trans and engine.

Going to disassemble rear end tomorrow

It has to be modified slightly. There is a section that needs to be ground off the tray to clear the #1 main cap. Aside from that it's an easy fit. I should have taken a picture of mine when I did it.

In addition to the studs, it will need to be cut down between them as well to clear the main cap itself on an iron 5.4L.

On my own, I used bolts, not studs, for the mains, so I only had to clearance it in the center where it contacted the cap.
