Looks like were at it again. After realizing that the lifter bores in the bowtie block were trashed last summer I had to tear the engine down and drop it off at a machine shop to be repaired. Of course 5 months later I finally got the damn thing back after waiting 7 months the last time. So here...

If your still in Colorado Springs, lets meet up and grab some lunch, saw you barreling down I25 last night:lol:

So lets see here, I dropped my engine off at a machine shop early October where I was told 3-4 weeks tops to install lifter bushings and rebuild the heads, AGAIN (don't even get me started on these heads). I was given a quote of $1500-$1800, they were also going to re-tank everything. So here I...

IM working on this pretty fiercely right now and its looking like I may have it figured out, I will know in a week or two. Question here is, how much would you pay for a set up? It would include; wiper motor (reman) new arms (modified) wiring harness/delay box (modified) brackets So far, I'm...

I have some real nice RPM perimeter valve covers for my build. I hate to have a bunch of fittings welded to them and am wondering if I have holes drilled and tapped on the front or rear wall of the block would that be acceptable and adequate for ventilation? Basically want a clean valve cover...

I am getting ready to receive my engine back from machine shop this week (supposedly any way) and that means I have to get the mock up block out of the truck and finalize my rack and pinion set up. Since I am running hydraboost, a GM pump and a Mustang rack, I know it will be fun trying to match...

These headers are built by me. They are 1.5" tubing, mild steel, modeled mostly after RPM headers but I made them so that you can take all of the spark plugs out with a socket instead going through a bunch of BS like most headers. They have a T3 flange and they do clear the power steering pump...

These manifolds came with my TY originally. They have been repaired. First crack on the driver side manifold cracked in 2006 when they were warped and I was trying to use an impact socket to spread them not realizing that a manifold spreader was an actual tool. They were welded with nickel rod...

Would you run it on a big build? I am not totally confused about the fuel I am going to run but am confused about how I am going to do it all. I am doing a pretty big build that is surely going to require good fuel. I really like using alky and prefer to use it but don't trust the pump or the...

I was reading the directions to my Cometic gaskets, it says you must have an RF50 finish, or something like that. How important is this? I searched for Cometic threads and was surprised to see not one person has ever asked this question. Maybe because I am the only who doesn't like to follow...

I thought this was kind of a cool picture.

Well it's that time. For the last year and a half I have been stock piling parts and now its time to start putting my new build together. This time I am building my engine around my turbo which is this 76mm ( the one on the right) Not entirely sure I will stick with but willing to give it a...

Looking for this for a friend whose truck caught on fire. I took the original piece out and it was very difficult to do so with out ripping it. Basically we are looking for the entire piece preferably not ripped, at least not ripped in half. If anyone has their dash board out of the truck and...

Never used the Cometics before but have them for my current build. I always sprayed copper on my Fel Pros, do the same with these or install dry?

Anyone have an opinion on these? I am running Jesel shaft mounts and don't feel like measuring:lol:

Anybody have one?

I bought some Jesel shaft mount rockers a while back and bought them knowing that they were missing the bolts that hold the rockers to the stands. Moving on, it is nearing the time to install these and I am wondering if I can use any old nice round Allen type bolt or if they HAVE TO BE THE JESEL...

I really hate to say this but, I am so busy with life that I am starting to think seriously about letting my machine shop build my engine. I know I can do it as I have don many but damn, time is precious these days. I'll admit that this build is much more pricey than anything I have ever done...

Went to the jy today for a wiper motor cover and saw a decent white TY with c6 z06 wheels and no roof rack. Anybody here?

I am doing a pretty big build as some may know and I am almost to the point where I will finally getting my block back. Once it's back, I need to simply get head gaskets a damper and injectors and I think I'll be ready to roll. My last build was with a 67 gtq and I ran 80# injectors. I ran pump...
