ReplicaR's Mustang build *finally on track again*

[BruhBrahBrad]

I've got 225k

 

[MustangChris]

geeeze. lol. mine has more something around 126.. ...... but the odometer reads 46000 ;-)

replicar, whats next??? :-D

 

[ReplicaR]

Well, the rotating assembly has been sent off to the balance shop, so we are waiting on that. Heads are coming from AFR soon enough, everything else is pretty much there. The motor should be fully assembled by the end of second week of september. At that point I will give my car to the shop, and they will gett o work installing the engine. They will keep the car to about two weeks for tuning, getting all the bugs out, and break in. I should take delivery at the end of september. Expecting to see 350whp at least

 

[MustangChris]

sweet man. pretty cool that they are doing break in for you too. that way if it impodes you can point the finger at them. lol.

 

[ReplicaR]

Few more parts. Say hello to:

Machined block with filed rings

Shorty Headers

In Tank Fuel Pump

Camshaft

Harmonic Balancer

Oil Pan

Roller lifters (a little blurry)

 

[g36 monkey]

Never seen rockers like that, they look like lifters ha, can't wait till its all together!

 

[ReplicaR]

lol, you are absolutely right.

 

[g36 monkey]

Looks like a lot of good stuff man. Should be a solid motor. Nothing like being fresh under the hood

 

[GonPlad]

Hey Dmitry, Looking good cant wait to see it in person. Exactly what I would have done if I stayed N/A. Ill have ti give you a ride im mine now that it is almost done. Let me know when you get the engine in.

 

[ReplicaR]

Yeah, for sure Dave. I'll let you know when its done. It will probably be just in time for AutoX with Speed Ventures in october, so if you want to, show up to cal speedway, and I'll give you a ride. Car has full MM package at this point, so its very grippy

Also a small update. Checked the weight last night. As it sits right now with battery in the front and stock engine, I'm at 3420 lbs and 57/43 weight distribution. This was measured with full tank of fuel. It will be nice to see where the weight will be once the motor is in.

 

[Steven]

Should drop 100lbs or more off the front. Especially as you go to all the light weight components.

 

[ReplicaR]

I seriously doubt it will drop 100 lbs. Aluminum heads are lighter, but crank will be heavier since it's a stroker crank. H-beam rods vs stock I-beams, almost everything on the motor is bigger. The flywheel and harmonic balancer are light as well, but not enough to offset the weight of the crank probably. I don't really know. I'll have to wait and see.

 

[g36 monkey]

Either way, you'll have more power, and it will be reliable power

 

[ReplicaR]

Yeah, that's why I've literally overbuilt the thing for how much it will make. I really don't have time or money to go through several engines until I get it right.

 

[g36 monkey]

None of us do haha!

Mine weighs 3240 with the over-built 410w/TR3550 combo and a QA1 k member... You'll be surprised the weight savings..

 

[ReplicaR]

Stage 8 Bolts for headers.

 

[g36 monkey]

those look complicated but they ought to hold them on there. headers/exhaust leaks are a real pain ha

 

[RichV]

3420 is heavy! Full interior?

My 94 is 3170 with a little fuel and me in it, with a 25lb ballast too. Not sure what your class rules are, but there is definitely some weight you can pull.
