This is my DD, thus why I am moving as fast as possible. Tranny is suppose to be done tomorrow, so we will be lowering the engine/tranny into car friday, then get everything back together in car and hopefully fire it up within a week or 2 .

Day 13: Fuel tank is down and fuel pump is out. Changing it tomorrow morning. Sadly, I need my dad again as that thing has more gas than what my fuel gauge told me. So I won't get much down tomorrow, but tranny WILL arrive tomorrow, it will cost an extra $180 as reverse slider or something like that and something to do with 2nd gear were screwed, so might as well have a 100% fresh tranny lol. HOPING to get engine/tranny back in Saturday or Sunday, have to see how things go.

Day 18: No picture, started car and ran for 3 seconds, sounds really really agressive. Sadly, wouldn't idle for crap, died, tried to restart and the starter bit the bullet. We noticed an exhaust leak too that will get looked at tomorrow, but it did fire up!

Exhaust back on it? Get a video. And your slower the molasses. You like walk outside and bolt something on and walk back inside lol

Re: The engine comes out this weekend *Update on post #91*

Money is the problem, not my working speed . Exhaust is on but my dad said there is a big leak at the collector. We are checking it tomorrow, would that cause it to idle like crap and die?

 

[Steven]

Re: The engine comes out this weekend *Update on post #91*

Is it long tubes? If they are the three bolt flange crap, then you'll have problems with those till the day you die. And for two, yes a leak right at the collector will cause alot of issues on 5.0s. They run like a mercury out board when you don't have exhaust right on them.

Re: The engine comes out this weekend *Update on post #91*

Lol that's probably one problem, I don't think the exhaust is on good . Also, the green vacuum line goes to EGR right? I looked and I had the fuel pressure going to it and the red/green lines on the little vacuum housing on the intake adapter.

 

[Steven]

Re: The engine comes out this weekend *Update on post #91*

Sounds like you have the lines backwards. Get the exhaust fixed up, finish up the small stuff, then start tweaking. Use a allen wrench to adjust the screw by the IAC to smooth the idle out, and set timing to 14 degrees for now.

Re: The engine comes out this weekend *Update on post #91*

I did some checking, I had the EGR line on the throttle body vacuum hub, that probably caused some issues because I had the fuel regulator hooked up to the EGR . That, accompanied with the exhaust leak some be HOPEFULLY my only problems, Can't wait until after school tomorrow to get back at it, sucks because it's basically ready to go, just some little things are are stupid errors lol
