Lost in the SN95 post library...

QA1 Kmember and A arms, Koni struts, MM coil overs, 4 bolt CC plates on the front.
GMS coilovers on Lakewoods, LCA's and a MM panhard, removed quads on the rear
Eibach front and rear swaybar.

It's sick of being on the lift, it wants to DRIVE!

Re: STROKER ENGINE BUILD --update-- Longblock is Assembled

Sweet man thats wicked should handle killer. See I have MM Coil overs up front on Tokico Illuminas but they dont make a rear kit for my shocks, is that same with you and why you went with GMS coilovers?

There was some drama there, I had GMS coilovers on the front too, but they sucked. replaced them with the MM sexy and superior in every way coil overs.
The GMS rears are ok for the rear, and were only about 400 bucks with the shocks!
I'll have to find that thread and link it in my sig or something.

The rear cals are all painted, I just need to put them back on the back.
Axles were a bit more than I can spare right now with the carrier, so they will swap with the twins.

See you on BF2

Re: STROKER ENGINE BUILD --update-- Longblock is Assembled

What aftermarket aluminum radiator will fit?

Just found out, Fluidine sent a 97...
so the 96 is on it's way, this one's going back.

Lucky for me my builder get's to handle the shipping.

C'mon lucky #3 !!

Didn't Ford issue a recall on the 96 and update the cooling system to the 97 style? Or was that just on the Cobras?

I don't think it was an official recall but if you complained about overheating they would upgrade you to the 97 setup that had a much better fan assembly.

Car is finally coming together now D.....i'm crossing my fingers for you! I know how these gremlins can jump up and bite you in the ass.

 

[Dalamar]

Re: STROKER ENGINE BUILD --update-- Longblock is Assembled

Ya that waiting for parts was killing me!!

Those dam ass biting gremlins, hope there's not to many.

How's your build coming?

Re: STROKER ENGINE BUILD --update-- Longblock is Assembled

i'm still gathering parts for the shortblock but i'm getting antsy so i might throw the blower and cams on the stock block for the fall and just run the stock blower pulley.

Re: STROKER ENGINE BUILD --update-- Longblock is Assembled

What else do you need to get?

Getting it done sooner would be sweet also!
how much do you expect it to put down after you do the motor?
