Here is my official plan....

[g36 monkey]

A little bit of an update. Had to get the motor bored out 30 over, not too bad, and I picked it up yesterday, with new pistons and cam gears and oil pump and such. Next thing to order is the super six cam, then heads, then lower intake the windstar upper intake. Throw some Ford racing 24 pound injectors in there somewhere too.
But I know you don't care about this, you just want some pics

All wrapped up

Crank Wrapped

Timing chain cover hot tanked

Valve covers after hot tank

The block bored

30 over pistons

Valve cover primed

Harmonic balancer primed

Proof that I'm not a ginger

Advertising haha

Gunmetally color on the valve covers

After some dry time

All done

Let me know what you think

[g36 monkey]

[cnryYell0gt]

nice dude. I'm waiting for xmas break to finish all of my stuff because classes suck. everything should look clean.


also i still dont believe your not a ginger....

 

[Mustang Mark]

liking the progress

 

[Hoseitdown]

Keep up the good work man.

 

[g36 monkey]

Thanks so much for the compliments guys.
And I know what you mean about classes.
I work from 6-1 every day then have classes till 7 at night, I try to go to sleep by 10 haha. Not much time there
Gotta make the money somewhere though

keep it up man. a t-5 would probably be plenty for you. idk your plans for this car but i think a t5 would be plenty and ud like it

 

[atlanticblue98]

dem parts are clean

keep up the good work

Change in plans, I know I'm going to disappoint everyone. I am changing to the stage two heads from super six, and getting a cam straight from comp cams, still doing the p&p lower and windstar upper.
I save about a grand but lose an estimated 20 hp. I just don't have the cash I intended to have.

As far as the trans, I'll see if I can get mine rebuilt a little while after the swap, considering I have to put around to break it in

Glad to see you still AB98

Alright so I had to order some comp 918 springs for the RPM ported and Polished heads I bought. They finally got here along with the new retainers.

I don't remember if I let everyone know my 218/226 .500 lift cam lifters and 24 pound injectors all came in.
So once I get the heads back she is waiting to be assembled

Then I'm trying to get a rebuilt T-5, and a tuner and I should be set until I can afford a limited slip.
O and of course I need the P&P Lower from super six and the windstar upper.
I think 250 down is a reasonable estimate ha

 

[bonestock3.8DTH]

awesome project man! looks good!

 

[greenscobie86]

Looks like you're on point about this build.

Kudos for doing it this way. thats awesome!

 

[g36 monkey]

Hey thanks guys, you can check out the build thread in my signature for more info

It's coming along pretty well

 

[7.5spool]

dont think 3.55s would hurt to much, it would bring the rpm about 500 more than 3.27s

 

[g36 monkey]

found 3.45's on summitt so I'll be going with those and limited slip.

still getting closer, just need the intakes really, o and some technical stuff like making sure the rods are still the correct length ha
