Vallee’s Forged 4.6 Aluminator Build Thread
Just to summarize - Back in early 2010, I purchased and installed the 2005 - 2008 Mustang TVS2300 ROUSHCharger Single Belt Phase 2 Kit on my otherwise stock 05 Mustang GT. This build was documented on fnsweet until the website took a total dump.
Archive/Reference; Current Engine Build Configuration:
Some areas of concern are:
· Oil Pump; I had originally planned on using the oil pump that is supplied with the Aluminator however after some reading I think it’s probably a good idea to install a set of TSS gears. I’ve also read how the new 13’ GT500 pump is fitted with a more robust “billet” backing plate. Some claim the original designed cast plate could flex and cause a sudden drop in oil pressure. Should I consider the new GT500 backing plate upgrade as well?? If I did, I think would just swap out the plate, not the entire pump as I do not want to risk altering the oil pressure.
· Timing chain tensioners; I’ve seen some who have ditched OEM 3V plastic timing chain tensioners in favor of the older style Ford OEM 2 Valve Steel Bodied Tensioners. I’ve never heard of any failures from the 3V plastic ones, but I have seen instances where the gaskets have blown out around them. I assume the steel ones are more robust?? This True?
· Harmonic dampener; my current build uses a 90040 Professional Products PowerForce Plus SFI Harmonic Dampener. I’ve had good luck with this dampener, and had planned on reusing it. Should I upgrade to an ATI? The car is not a daily driver and I don’t plan on running the piss out of it.
· Clutch/Flywheel; I am pretty sure I am going with McLeod for both. The question is – should I go RXT, or will the RST be plenty strong for occasional street strip use. Again, the car is not a daily driver and I don’t plan on running the piss out of it.
