Re: ReplicaR's daily driven road race Mustang build

You have way more fun in your car then the average mustang owner. Props 2ya

That's because I don't take no for an answer and always think outside the box. If there is a will, there is a way, just a matter of being imaginative enough to go around the problems.

Step backwards in my opinion. Simple is better. So is cheaper in this sport.

Only you, Duffy, would come up with something like that......

The ease of track side repairs on a SBF is nearly unmatched in v8 mustangs. I could put a water pump and timing chain on a 94-95 car in no time, and drive it home.

LS1 is modular, isn't it?

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you "My 70 dollar Heat Extractor Hood" #2

ls1 pushrod. nice hood. what's the distance from the front of the hood to the first cut.

 

[ReplicaR]

Not really sure. I've measured from the back to make it level, and aimed to place the vent in between the radiator and front of the engine. Something I found out though while testing it with a fan on. The vent is mostly effective on the left side where the fan is. The other side of the vent is mostly blocked by the overflow bottle and fan shroud. My next project will be to relocate (likely replace) the overflow bottle to the side, and replace the stock fan with the one from Lincoln Mark VIII. I'm also going to reroute the upper radiator hose to go around the vent, not right across it.

Decided to snap some pictures of the K-member before installing it.

This is everything that came in the box. What you see in the picture is K-member, support bar, install hardware, including the low profile bolts to allow the rack to be installed closer to K-member, and the solid rack bushings required for install as well.

Check out all the supports and triangulation on the side of the k-member, and the beefy welds. This is what makes a good road race k-member.

The two holes designed to improve the front roll center. The lowest hole is one inch higher than standard location, and the upper hole, is two inches higher.

The two slots for motor mounts. This k-member allows me to select either standard location of the engine, or to push the engine back one inch for better weight distribution.

Solid rack bushings are a must, to take full advantage of the k-member and better location of the rack and pinion. Moving it closer to the k-member gives you a better ackermann angle, and reduces understeer.
