Got some more work done today.

Since I was removing the K-Member, I decided to use the factory strut tower along with some come along straps to help hold the motor. I put them near the ends where it had more support from the towers. Worked perfect!

The crank pulley has 3 bars that I used 2 of them to hook to.

With the engine supported, I unhooked the steering and dropped the K-Member.

That left room to pull the oil pan off so I can have fittings put in properly without punching holes in it and using the tap. I am not a fan of that technique.

By removing the K-Member and motor mounts, it made it much easier to get to the headers. For the passenger side I had to CAREFULLY coerce the A/C line a little to get to the front bolt. But it went easy enough with little drama.

Here's a good shot of the front factory Wideband O2's.

That's all for now. Will keep updating as things come together.

The black wheels are gone too! *happy dance*

blownaltered 05-01-2013 07:50 AM
I liked the black wheels on that car.

BlueBolt 05-01-2013 08:57 AM

You also have 4 lug Cobra wheels, a whale tail from 1987, porno red interior with bright white captain chairs from Gary's rape van. I'll take you liking the black wheels with a grain of salt. :happy107:

Phuck Phace 05-01-2013 09:35 AM
What's the Aluminators block rated at?

STROKD 05-01-2013 09:46 AM
Can't wait to see this done, Kevin is a master at this craft, it will look like Ford installed it yet all shiney.

I liked the black wheels too because of the graphics, but if it were my car I would have had paint matched white wheels... Always loved white wheels on white cars, wife had TONS of compliments on her old fox with white "Bullets"..

LOL, funny. I suspect your race record is going to look very similar to your submission record against me. :lol::lol::lol:

Sweet build. And Jesus that thing is immaculate.

You will just have to wait and see. :)

Did you ever see his build threads on his Cobra?

Can't wait. I would love to buy the black wheels from him but no way I can afford it

Of course, and it was nice too. Did he buy that car new as well?

No.

Luke 05-01-2013 02:18 PM
Good to see he's doing the oil lines the right way, the tapped pan thing is shitty, I had to do that with an old S-Trim. Does he have a timeline for when he wants to be done?

Grandpa 05-01-2013 02:27 PM
Kevin, you can feel better buddy. It got the Luke seal of approval that you are doing things correctly! *WHEW!*

Damn let it go already, can you answer the timeline question though?

He has no expectations of a schedule since he will only be able to work on it in his rare spare time. He travels for work during the week and then still has a family at home to spend time with on the weekends. He is also tuning part time to make the extra project money which obviously takes time away as well.

In short, it will be done when it gets done. Then it will be submitted for your all knowing approval.

So are we going to turn his thread all gay like mines and David's?

No. I answered his question.


I'm looking forward to see what/how Kevin does the tuning on this thing. I know he's looking forward to tinkering with the tune as well. I'm thinking 700rw on 7lbs of boost should be an easy task on e85.

Pretty much. You set the trap on that one and I played the truth card and got it thrown in my face... Figured it was better than lying saying something stupid like - had other plans or something even more lame.

04sleeper 05-01-2013 08:29 PM
Should be a fun build. I am looking forward to it. I will keep you updated as it comes together.

I ordered bulk head fittings for the oil pan and ordered restrictors for the oil feed line to the turbos the other day.

I will get some pictures up tomorrow of the kit.

Looks good. You've made a lot of progress since I was there on Friday. Thanks again for rolling the wheel wells on the fox. She doesn't scrape the tires anymore.
