Going back to NPI- Fired it up

[DropTopPony]

Well just temporarily,

I really like spring and thats why i have a vert so i'm gonna drop my NPI engine back in my car for a month or two so i can cruise...I already started so i'm hoping to have it on the road by saturday because i miss driving it. Maybe that will put a fire under my ass to send my aluminum block out to get machined and move forward with my plans.

I wish I could do that kinda stuff myself, I wouldn't be so broke. Good luck...

Re: Going back to NPI

once you do it its kinda easy, i'm not a mechanic and don't have years of turning wrenches in the garage but i did alot of reading and then when you actually do it everything makes sense.

My NPI stuff was just laying around in the garage so i just put it back on the shortblock and putting the engine in is kinda easy...i am almost done.

Damn. That's going to suck. When I sold my first Mustang (89 LX with 300 RWHP) and got a stock 88 GT it sucked. It seemed so slow!

Gas?

Re: Going back to NPI

The new engine isn't built yet, i still need to send the block out for machine work. The problem is i can't make up my mind on what direction to go. I have a Teksid block and a forged Cobra crank and forged Manley rods/pistons but i think i should sell the pistons and send the block out to Big Bored to 304ci but i just can't decide....thats the hold up.

Re: Going back to NPI- Damn Gas Tank

So i got the engine in and working and decided to drop the fuel tank and swap in the 255 Walbro and i ripped the damn rubber grommet that goes into the tank from the filler neck...Now i have to wait until tomorrow to get one from Ford since none of the local joints have one....damn damn damn damn...

Re: Going back to NPI- Damn Gas Tank

Re: Going back to NPI- Damn Gas Tank

Ford didn't have one in stock so they ordered me one from another dealer and should have it tomorrow...with my luck it will rain the rest of the week :'(
