I know right, my sisters BF just got the black edition for surfing so I'll just buy the Auto case and be set!

IT'S STARTED!!!! I had a pleasure hanging with Chris, a/k/a Guru, at the shop today while Ron and Johnny installed his Momentum headers, M370 intake manifold and a solid tune. His Z made 331whp on JTrans low reading all wheel drive mustang dyno! Sh*ts nutz! JTran also said he played with the VVEL a bit to increase the power by an extra 10whp!

Here is the part out link to my interior stuffs:

and here are some shitty cell phone pics of the controlled chaos!

I'll be continuing the process tomorrow deleting excess wires, removing the meth system, removing the audio system and getting the motor ready to be dropped! I'm going to take my time and tuck all the wires that will be needed to keep the car on the street.

What shifter is that?

O&G 01-02-2013 10:20 PM

I have the B&M short throw w/ a custom extended shaft. I freakin love it, never miss a shift!

Got the gauges setup. Fuel and A/F with the ATI cubby pod. Setting my Greedy Infometer on the dash somewhere. Tucked some wires and sold my seats and door panels. Engine rebuild kit came in, GTM intake runners in transit. Be back 2marrow to continue the grind! Badass twin turbo M5 and FD on the dyno and Ron putin a motor together. Typical day at the shop!

What's the word on that sunset orange do-luck 350?

I wish they had the Do-Luck kit for our car.

I can't believe you're getting rid of the beautiful red guts.

Motor rebuild, it has the BC Stroker bottom end and built top end. It was in a few magazines a few years back. Its very clean minus the color. I hate burnt orange!

Yea it wasnt easy, going black inside now. The money I make off the seats and panels will go towards race seats and harnes's. Everyone walks by and says "I hate what your doing to the 40th!" It will be nasty when I get her complete. Next step will be installing the fuel system, then droping the motor when the pistons get here!!

Installing the fuel pump stabilizer today. Going to use a surge tank instead of the fuel cell and bulkhead. Less work and keeps the cost down while satisfying my needs.

Finished it up earlier this morning. Car seems to start much better with the 3 inch piping. Cleaned up most the wirring. Need to work on the vaccum lines and wirring in the engine bay a bit more.

I know this is like way off topic from what this thread is currently talking about, but what size rims and tires are you running? (Assuming you still have the 5 spoke wheels on page one of this lol)

Amazing thread btw.

I'm such a flip flopper... this week, I've been on a kick of keeping the Viper and doing a build with heads/cam. 600whp NA sounds so good!

I sold them to get some funds for this project. They were WORK Equips(no longer in production in these sizes and style), 20x9.5 Front 20x11 rears, not sure on the tires, pretty sure it was a weak *** 285 in the rear. I'll be going WAY MOAR BEEFY w/ my next setup!

If it wasn't so far! IF I decide to build it, I'd only be looking at 600whp...which is nothing remotely close to hang with the big boys in Texas.

You going to try to make it to ZDayz this year?

O&G 01-11-2013 01:16 PM

I ment 2 build it, but yea it is a good distance.

All engine rebuild parts ordered
 
Finished ordering all the parts needed to assemble the motor. HP rod and main bearings w/ coatings, OEM oil pump, rear main seal, crank key, crankshaft oil hole plug and the thrust washers. JTran has all the ARP studs in stock and I have the rebuild gasket kit already. Hopefully all that crap will arrive when the pistons get here so we can tear down, and rebuild without waiting on anything. The spare block I purchased has been at the machine shop for about a week getting prepped for the rebuild. COMP Turbo is taking their sweet time upgrading/rebuilding my turbo, hopefully another week or so. JTran still needs to weld up a new turbo manifold as well. Lots to do!

Still debating on a fuel system, I have a few friends running setups from https://radiumauto.com/index.php?p=c...&parent=5&pg=1 ,probably doing something along this line with a CJM full return system.

Still debating on exhaust cams and upgraded springs/retainers. Seems pointless at this time as cam lift can still NOT be controlled w/ an UpRev tune, only cam timing. Haltech is said to be coming out with a unit with full VVEL control, I'm skeptical but JTran says it's going to happen.

Seat rails are coming from Bride in Japan so who knows....fml.

Get more updates when kool stuff starts happening.

O&G 01-16-2013 03:21 PM

car went to North Side Chassis today for roll cage design and install. Should be back in 10-14 days. By that time all motor crap and turbo should be here.

JTran and Burgenholtz are going to UpRev tomorrow so Ron can get up to speed with UpRev tuning. JTran is going to bug them about VVEL tuning, hopefully I'll get some fresh news on that.
