Hows the build going?

 

[destructo]

Re: Project '' The Hooker '' Updated 1/16/09

does the 1995 v8 4.6L blocks have these ?

These are the motor mounts for the S197 GTs. I've seen so damn many of these things. We used to cast them at a plant I worked for. They were notorious for having heat sinks in the cores so if you attempt to reuse them, I'd check for that.

It's weird seeing that.

Re: Project '' The Hooker '' Updated 1/16/09

sorry, i'll get back to you on that. Been busy with work and calendar and family stuff!

One suggestion, I had a T-rex external fuel pump. it whined so loud I hated it.
I'd suggest Walburo in tank pump, works good and is quite.

I PM'd you on the Clutch/flywheel!

Hope your feeling better.

Looks like your making good progress

Re: Project '' The Hooker '' Updated 1/16/09

Well, after a long time of recovery after doing 3 sinus operations. I got to start work again.

I installed the chassis harness and for damn sure it looks like there is going to be LOTS AND LOTS of cutting and soldering wires together. then I moved into the engine where I installed the metal engine mounts and A/C Delete kit and I also did lots of cleaning up.

Then I realized 2 flywheel bolts were missing. so I ordered them and since no dealer had them it took them a week. so Yesterday I got the engine, clutch kits ( from dalamar ) ready. and so when i came to install it I realized that the splines of the presure plate are 48 ? lol thanks daalamar ... luckily I had a heavy duty pressure plate laying around I cleaned it up and installed the clutch and the transmission all together..

UP goes the engine and trying to install it and we came across many Freaking problems .. ( Headers were hitting ) brake booster was too big. ) so just by trying to squeeze here and there we managed to install the engine in just 5 hours.. lol.

that work was yeterdays work and hopefully today I will install the dashboard , differntial and the shifter.

Pics will be posted tomorrow as my pc doesnt have a card reader now.

Re: Project '' The Hooker '' Updated 1/16/09

Well here are the pictures as I promised...

Me installing the IMRC delete plates on the 3v engine.

HAHA My bro bringing in the transmission after he cleaned it outside.

The Quadrant, Cable and the firewall adjuster being installed ...

The engine mounts arrived

A/C DELETE KIT

And as some of you might not know this. But in order to fit a 3V engine onto a older model bodies, the headers have to be from a 2v because the bent on the 3v headers will be hitting the firewall.. and in order to install the FPS and pedal from older model you need the conversion kits as well.. I didnt need them because I am installing electronic throttle pedal.

Crap parts being installed in here..

Dalamars Clutch...

I know one bolt is missing I installed it after takin the pic

My cuzin ABOOD

It was only me and my cuzin that time so we had to call for help..

Meet our Cooker.. LIAQAT .. bengladish.. he sleeps, sits and watchs tv more than he work.

in the mean time it was raining ..

Engine being installed

THE 3V BIATCH INSTALLED , hehe after removing the headers and the brake booster ..

Where can I get a smaller brake booster that will fit fine ?

DIFFRENTIALL READY

IS THIS OK ??

and NOW its the moment some of you were waiting for that never expected it was coming. lol

OHH YEAH installeing 05+ gauge in a 95..

Sorry I dont have a step by step pic on this one.. it was 2:am when I started working on the gauge cluster fitting..

There is more work to be done to fill those gaps here and there ..It needed time and it was late.. next weekend am continuing work..

Hope you enjoyed..

Now it took me over 30 mins for this post.. so you better be replying this thread or your not allowed to see it anyumore.

Re: Project '' The Hooker '' Updated 4/13/09

Good job man that cluster turned out great

Re: Project '' The Hooker '' Updated 4/13/09

Looks like an awesome build.... Where are you at? Cause when you're done you can come work on mine! :0)

Did you decide what you're going to do with the ignition Key? If you haven't already done so, have the PATS system turned off from the ECU, Attach the correct wires to the ignition cylinder for turning on the power then install a push button start. Problem solved. :0)

Re: Project '' The Hooker '' Updated 4/13/09

How can the PATS system be turned off from the ECU?

 

[Goindeafonmtx]

Re: Project '' The Hooker '' Updated 4/13/09

For the brake booster problem, you will have to switch to a hydroboost system. Ford switched in 96 due to the modular motor being alot bigger in physical size and taking up more room in the engine bay.

 

[NERD]

Re: Project '' The Hooker '' Updated 4/13/09

How can the PATS system be turned off from the ECU?

SCT, Sniper and Diablo can all turn off the PATS. That's how I have push button start.

 

[Tungstenizer_GT]

Re: Project '' The Hooker '' Updated 4/13/09

Yeah I will dissable The pats using SCT software. it arrived yesterday. I need to get a new laptop though cuz I got pissed off and punched my laptop the other day.. its made a toot toot sound then just never came back to life. haha.

so you guys mean a 96 hydro brake booster from a mustang GT will fit exactly fine with no extra modification needed ?

SXYNERD : I will be more than happy to work on your car, But are you willing to ship your car to United Arab Emirates ? lol...

Re: Project '' The Hooker '' Updated 4/13/09

Hey - glad to see you back online.
Glad you're feeling better too.

Sorry for the short bolt on the flywheel. I didn't count them.
I was out of town and had a shop swap it out, and it went right into that box. :dontknow:
48 spline is stronger :tongue3:


NICE work on the gauge cluster, I like that.
Great work overall, that motor looks huge in there.
you guys rock for doing all this work yourself.


On your rear shock, take a crescent wrench (adjustable wrench) and bend the metal outward to clear the body of the shock/sleave.
I had to do that on my rear coilovers.


I'm not sure on the brake conversion - do you still want a picture?
