I have put probably 250 - 300 miles on her if I had to take a guess. I am loving it! TXCBRA doesn't run amazing quite yet though. I have a dyno and tune session up at HPP Racing thursday to get it running better. The IMRC delete is killing it down low, bogs and surges quite a bit and i believe the timing is being thrown off from the IMRC deletes. But, should all be fixed thursday.She sounds very good though. I haven't burned ANY oil that I can see yet, which is awesome! normally i'd already be putting oil in.. so this is pretty awesome to not have to throw oil into her every few days. I will be getting videos probably tonight, depending on weather. I was out last night taking pictures until 2am which I will post up a few of them later on. All in all, im super happy! Anyways, heres the rest of the pics of the motor going in and what she looks like all put back together!<img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y178/TxStanG64/Cobra/2009/Engine%20Rebuild/rebuild99.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />The motor being dropped into place<img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y178/TxStanG64/Cobra/2009/Engine%20Rebuild/rebuild104.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Me putting in my Steeda Tri-Ax shifter after new Royal Purple fluid went in.<img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y178/TxStanG64/Cobra/2009/Engine%20Rebuild/rebuild100.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Some of the front accessories on the timing chain cover<img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y178/TxStanG64/Cobra/2009/Engine%20Rebuild/rebuild101.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Alternator, water bypass tube installed<img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y178/TxStanG64/Cobra/2009/Engine%20Rebuild/rebuild102.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />me running the wiring harness. when putting the wiring harness back in, its pretty self explanatory where things go based on how the wires bend and fall basically back into place. but i still like to label the harness connectors with some tape just so I am 100% sure things are in the right order. It also helps speed everything up a bit.<img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y178/TxStanG64/Cobra/2009/Engine%20Rebuild/rebuild103.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />the fluids that I am running.
