burritoboi5 10 Report post Posted June 7, 2007 Hmm I was told 750 may be a good call with the supercharger. And the heads aren't stock theyre Sr Windsor heads by world products. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlackGMC 10 Report post Posted June 8, 2007 oh, I did not know your were going with a supercharger, I am clueless on what size to go with, but NA with those heads I still stick by on 650 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
burritoboi5 10 Report post Posted June 8, 2007 Yeah, I agree NA I would stick with 650, I'm just thinking more air will need more fuel with the supercharger. I honestly don't know enough about it though to tell you the truth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
burritoboi5 10 Report post Posted June 14, 2007 Well. For those of you that saw my other thread, I've been having some trouble with my engine rebuild on account of some machining problems. But I bought a drill press today. Hey Hey Hey. Very worthwhile investment. Maybe progress pics tomorow.....We'll see if I work on the car or not. Now that schools out I have to start working so we'll see if I have time tomorow or not for the pony. :gunsmilie: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
burritoboi5 10 Report post Posted June 18, 2007 Well making progress. Slowly but surely..... New tool New parts newly clearanced parts new parts in need of fitment Newly bent in frustration Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
burritoboi5 10 Report post Posted June 24, 2007 Hey guys. Got the motor preoblems figured out so I'll be picking that up tomorow :flowers: And in the meantime I've welded in the front frame rail, torque box, floor support, and fabbed up the subframe connector. I still need to weld it all in underneath but am saving all the laying on my back with molten steel raining down for another day. In any case it is starting to look pretty DAMN GOOD :taz: The subframe connectors are just capped and double gusseted for strength. Hope you all like the progress I'm making and where the hell is BLACKGMC??? eh corey??? subframe connector Gussets and subframe in place What it's all starting to look like Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
burritoboi5 10 Report post Posted June 26, 2007 WHOOOOO HOOOOOOOO got my motor back today and assembled :batman: Just awaiting a car to put it in and some small things like plugs, necks, sensors and then it should be good to go. BEFORE AFTER/PRESENT Here's what $4750 dollars and a LOT of work look like. :rolleyes: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
holdtherice 0 Report post Posted June 26, 2007 That engine looks pretty sweet! What pistons did you go with? And manifold, I'd rather not read through all 14 pages for something that might not even be there. I wish I had half of the dedication you have to my project. I hope to have a practically new engine,tranny, and rearend in it by the end of the year. At least the body/structural side of it doesn't need much, I'd be really screwed if that was the case.

burritoboi5 10 Report post Posted June 26, 2007 Yeah no worries. The rundown on the engine is as follows. started by boring it over .030 -World products sr. windsor heads -edelbrock performer RPM intake manifold -Moroso electric water pump -comp camps roller lifter -comp cam 284 lift by 110 separation -Lunati pushrods -Comp cams pro street roller rockers -stock block -stock crankshaft -Probe forged pistons -Probe forged H-beam style connecting rods -Holley 650 CFM 4 barrel double pumper -high flow oil pump -comp timing set All this will be mated to a T5 with the possibility of a supercharger in the future. :gunsmilie: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

burritoboi5 10 Report post Posted July 10, 2007 WEll......I lost two of my garages for storage so the last few days were spent putting together a table in my garage and moving some parts over. But as far as the car goes I got the driver side framerail welded in along with radiator crossbrace and am waiting on the inner fender apron to put in the actual radiator crossmember. I also got the driver side subframe connector welded in and am in the process of acquiring some front suspension parts. Here are some pics though. Front end Subframe connectors New garage setup Convincing another stubborn frame piece :tank: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
burritoboi5 10 Report post Posted July 12, 2007 Well....I got some more work done today. Got the inner fender in and the radiator crossmember in. Now I'm just waiting on the strut braces before I can clean and paint the front end :001_tt1: WOooHoooo Thing is I called NPD, Mustangs Unlimited, and Virginia Classic and all said they wouldn't have strut braces untill august. So I cruised over to ebay and found some from laurel mtn mustangs and ordered em. PLus they're located in PA and should get here pretty quickly. I also ordered some new stock replacement control arms from them and a front end rebuild kit. Tomorow I plan on calling to order my coilover suspension conversion, steering rebuild kit, and also a disc brake swap setup. Progress is coming along nicely and I am highly motivated to keep going. here's the suspension I'm going with, called today, they are VERY NICE people and I look forward to doing business with them. http://www.casuspension.com/pages/PRODUCTSPAGE.html WOhooo :gunsmilie: PS sorry the pics are kinda dark Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

burritoboi5 10 Report post Posted July 12, 2007 Thanks for the encouragement Stephen. BTW we have the same name and you even spell it the right way. Speaking of nice coupes you have one yourself :rockon: I was reading back a post or two and noticed someone commend my dedication. It's funny how much work I'm putting into a car I have never even driven before :devil: Gonna be all worth it though the first time that engine fires. And yeah it should make a little more power than the 2 bbl :devil: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
burritoboi5 10 Report post Posted July 14, 2007 Hey guys. Well, this morning was spent changing out the brakes on my friends nissan frontier so I wasn't able to get any work done untill later in the afternoon. But I managed to do some more structural welding underneat and get both side floor pans tacked in along with the rear middle pan. Which I decided it would just be easiest to cut out the old and weld in the new. Noticing a trend here? :gunsmilie: ANyways here are the pictures. Only thing is you have to be a damned gymnist to get in and out of the car now:pinch: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlackGMC 10 Report post Posted July 16, 2007 Wow your moving right along, I have missed alot. Sorry I have been away recovering from a damn eye injury and vacation and being pissed at the car. Lookin good, I am impressed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
burritoboi5 10 Report post Posted July 16, 2007 Thanks Corey. Hopefully you'll get the whole eye thing worked out soon and be back to wrenching on the stang. I'll probably post some more pictures late this afternoon bc I'm hoping to have the major floor pans tacked in and then finish weld them maybe tomorow morning. But last night I got the passenger side all finished up and the driver side cleaned up so I can actually go to work on it with fresh metal today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlackGMC 10 Report post Posted July 16, 2007 Good deal, one piece of advice, if you have not experienced it yet, is to space out the welds that attach the floorpan to the rocker. I tried to do continous tacks/bead and I ended up with some warpage on the rocker inner panel. Maybe I just had the heat setting up too high.. Thanks about the eye thing, it is pretty much healed and I have a got my vision back, but I will have a scar on my eye for several months and the doc said to say away from welding for a few months so it does not get irritated..

burritoboi5 10 Report post Posted July 18, 2007 Well....I got all of the floors done. All finish welded and sealed up woot woot. And some of my suspension parts came along with some of the brake conversion. So I started removing the rearend but it was really hard to get out so I gave in for the day. But I also managed to get the front strut braces in so after I patch one small rust area near the fuel tank and get the rearend out I can powerwash the car and por15 the undercarriage and engine bay. :tank: I'm driving to mustangs unlimited tomorow and airgas to get some more parts and some more argon. :thumbup: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

burritoboi5 10 Report post Posted July 18, 2007 seems like I kicked up a little bit of a shit storm here......:devil: Sorry guys forgot to add that as of yesterday all the panels are tide together, beads all around, and that I also got the rearend out. Tomorow I'll mount up the seats. I'm gonna mount them a few inches back from stock though because I'm a pretty big guy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlackGMC 10 Report post Posted July 19, 2007 I'm gonna mount them a few inches back from stock though because I'm a pretty big guy. Sounds likes a plan, are you using stock seats? If so the stockers sit on a 10-12 degree angle, just incase you wanted to know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
