Topic: My non turbo failure of a build thread! (Read 9737 times)

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.

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.

I'm not a ford fan in any capacity, but they do always sound damn good. I like where this is going

in for the finished product...

I like Mustangs, however doubt this Mustang owner knows what to do with a DOHC motor. Should have stuck to pushrods.

She has a no kissing rule.

That's what she tells you anyway.

Just because of his halitosis from all of the rancid sperm that died attempting to impregnate his tonsils.

Caleb, this thread is for harassing Shaun. Just about every other thread on the site os for harassing me. Please, post accordingly.

It can be both!

wtf is that? new style china 50mm bov?

PhilStubbs · « **Reply #15 on:** May 01, 2013, 10:46:29 PM »

I hope so. The tial knock off was always my favorite bov. They have gotten expensive and hard to find

79fairmont · « **Reply #16 on:** May 01, 2013, 10:54:45 PM »

Only ebay's best for my project.

79fairmont · « **Reply #17 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.

The engine being assembled.

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.

is this a maf or sd? What did you pay for the Pro charger?

79fairmont · « **Reply #27 on:** June 10, 2013, 07:08:46 AM »

It's a maf car. I will tune it using sct software. We have pushed these cars to over 1000 hp on the factory PCM with no issues. I paid around 1,000 for the procharger.
