Gonna back down to 2.73rear gears?

Wichers123 · Aug 23, 2015

No I'm gonna leave the cobra gears in it for awhile. Depending on what the car does is how I'm gonna make changes later.

Well, did it make it to you yesterday? Whats the plan for getting this monster back together?

96blak54 · Aug 26, 2015

Im sure the delivery guy, the helper, and winchers have a sore back now. Stupid heavy engine!

Wichers123 · Aug 27, 2015

lol slide it right in the back of the truck and used my dads tractor with front fork to get it to the ground. I ordered the adaptor plates and just need a few more things and the motor will be set in the car. Then remake the cross pipe with sway back in the car and it will be up and running.

Awesome!

Is all of the turbo piping still going to fit the way it needs to?

Wichers123 · Sep 1, 2015

No... -__- I have to make the hot side all over again. The headers hit the frame rails and the cross pipe isn't wide enough. I thought I would just have to widen the cross pipe. Oh and the damn hood has no chance lol. The adaptor plates are 1" tall. This is no adaptor plates.

Well been a busy few weeks, I got the car running again waiting on a few parts to call it finished. The manifolds need tightening (leaking), trans mount installed and a clean up in the tune. The 5.4 feels pretty torquey and was worth the tight work lol

lwarrior1016 · Sep 27, 2015

Hell yeah! How does the combo ride? You know the t45 and irs.

Wichers123 · Sep 27, 2015

Handles awesome but I have only driven it once. I really need a trans mount bad which is on it way. Next weekend I pull the motor to final install manifolds for the last time and wrap the whole hot side. Can't wait to get this thing sideways soon.
