Title: My non turbo failure of a build thread!
Post by: 79fairmont on April 30, 2013, 07:13:17 PM: So here's my semi build thread. Non turbo so I know most of you won't care but I'm posting it anyway. I picked up my 1998 gt a while ago and it was bone stock. With the anemic non pi 4.6 and automatic I was bored with driving it pretty quick. I decided it needed a dohc 4.6. I picked up one from a 1998 mark viii. They have an aluminum teksid block. I also decided to add a flowmaster exhaust, 4.10 gears, a 2500 stall converter and added a 125 shot of nitrous.
The car the day I got it.

The old engine.

The new one.

I beat on this one for 15,000 miles with zero issues but it's still slow. So I decided to upgrade a little. On a very limited budget okay I just didn't want to spend much I began hoarding some parts. I picked up a low mile gt500 oil pump.

Some new in box boss 302 connecting rods (proven to hold over 1000 hp and 8,000 rpm).

I also picked up a factory kellogg forged crankshaft. I had a set of 7 good manley pistons and ordered one to make it a complete set. I balanced the rotating assembly on our balancer.

Picked up an aeromotive stealth 340 lph pump and modded the stock basket for it to fit.

Scored on a super low mile procharger p1sc.

I'm broke so I ordered an ebay intercooler and piping kit.

Now all I have to do is get off my ass and drop the engine and install everything.

Post by: carkrazed on April 30, 2013, 07:30:26 PM: Yes, not turbo but cool nonetheless. I grew up around mustangs so the sound of a sbf is still sex to me. I've been thinking about a 32 valve in fox lately.

Post by: 79fairmont on June 08, 2013, 07:40:27 PM: So I made some progress. Pulled the engine and installed the forged internals. Here's the block fresh out of the jet wash cabinet.

Got the engine in and broke it in n/a for a few miles. Finally got off my ass and installed the intercooler, piping, and supercharger.
