Looking good Man! All these mods and your wife still like you!! I don't know how you do it.
Can't wait to see a dyno sheet and some 1/4 mile times...

 

Thanks! The wife may not know exactly how much $$$$ has been spent I would be living in the car if she knew. I guess no time slips till next year I am still hoping to get a solid pump gas tune this week I still havent mentioned it to though so I am not sure if he can squeeze me in.

 

What you doing this weekend? give me a call

 

Pulling the alternator out of my car, possibly pulling the tranny to see what the ***** is wrong with my clutch....probobly looking for an apartment to live in because the wife is going to leave me soon if I spend anymore time with this car

 

Well the issues never end! I got the car back together and on the dyno Monday morning. On the dyno i had a bad oil leak from the valve cover that I just replaced the gasket on the night before DIY FTL! I got that fixed then met my tuner at 05:30 this morning for some tuning. Things were going great the bigger cams moved my power band up in the RPM range. Last time we maxed out his Dyno pack(526ft/lbs of torque) at 4000rpm this time it took till 4500rpm. We were just going to pull the dyno pack off and back the car on to the Mustang dyno when I noticed coolant on the floor. I thought I had a leak.....but the coolant resovior was overflowing, possible head lift. We never saw any coolant from the tail pipes and there was no coolant smell but the wideband sensor was ruined(cooled down to fast from the antifreeze?) also no knock was seen and my tuner also listens with a devise called a knock box that amplifies engine noise and no detonation was heard. We were at 18-19psi and 4500rpm the car put down over 526ft/lbs to shut down the dyno and I think it was 459 hp if you pause the video after it counts down to 0 you can see the numbers before it shuts off. It was tuned to 7000prm at the same boost before with the smaller cams so why the heads lifted is unknown?
I have been close to pulling the plug on this project for a few months now this might be the nail in the coffin.

I am considering parting it out and selling the car and getting something I won't modify or parting out and keeping the wheels and body kit and going NA with my stock block and with just cosmetic mods. I will decide in the next week or so.


Here is a vid and some pictures.

 

You rebuilt the engine 3 or 4 times now, spent over 500 hours on the stupid thing, and you cave in now!?

 

Everyone has a breaking point.

 

You lasted way long than I ever would have.

Something to think about quick- if your rad cap was faulty, that would cause your over flow to... over flow. It happened on my DSM.

 

Thats what she said

 

Good idea





















I tried another rad cap already no difference

 

im just trying to help!!!!!

 

I know thanks for the idea. Sell that bike! I have got a sweet deal for you your car would be sick with a 850bb kit I will even swap head gaskets on the engine for you.

 

Sorry to hear you're still having issues, Gord, but that pic of the WARNING screen is a keeper!

 

I will trade you my bike, for your engine.

Just say the magic word

 

At this point I am very tempted. The engine should be out next Friday bring your bike and a truck to haul the engine home . i am pulling it next Friday if you feel like coming down to give a hand
