Pretty much got over the last hurdle today. The radiator and fan setup is hooked up with wiring and plumbing. The remote electric water pump is hooked up. The cooling system is under pressure. Only thing remaining is to hook the heat exchanger reservoir up in the trunk. May start tomorrow

+1 on the slipping, we are having to brace the snout though. We were getting close to finishing the car so we tore the interior out to start the roll cage install

Looking at the Roll Cage Install today and noticed the CPU relocation was clearly visible. The shots I took at the time of install were mostly of my friend using foul language. Enjoy

Just got back from a hell of a good trip to SNL. Steve has really outdone himself. He has designed a top cog pulley that I believe is going to be more resilient and less prone to either breakage or belt walking due to flexing. The solution is high quality machined with very close tolerances. His earlier attempts were pretty good but there was still a little bit of flex in the Cog and the mount which transferred the pressure to the rest of the snout. You guys have topld me breaking snouts is not an uncommon thing. Steve has taken the entire thing to a new level, an artform as far as I am concerned. Some might not like it but I personally believe it will carry me to levels of output I never thought possible and do it reliably. Anyone with a Gilmer drive or contemplating going to one with either a Kenne Belle or a Whipple should contact SNL and talk to Radio. Pics below are of the actual snout shaft for the cog. Radio will release the pictures of the brace when he finishes it.

We got the car on the dyno last night. Good news is she held 21 lbs of boost with no falling off so the cog drive works great. Also the Moroso remote electric water pump kept the ECT at a steady 185-190 through the session, I highly recommend that product. On the down side the injectors maxed out. We are going to have to go to 190 lbs injectors to keep up with the 21 lbs of boost. IATs were through the roof so we have some work to do there yet. We also discovered a breaker box in the rear mount battery install was just not robust enough to survive the vibrations and we will have to work out an alternative to that. Car made 775/850 to the wheels with 12 degrees of timing in a best of two pulls. We get the injectors sorted out and work on the IATs we will hit at it again.

I've teased you guys for about a week on the new snout for the cog drive. I am sure many were wondering how many seconds the cog would last until it snapped off. This is the solution designed by Steve Addison of SNL Performance. Snout problems and belt slipping are problems of the past.

Okay, so me n Radio was sittin around SNL the other day, kinda thinkin up things to do. I handed my beer over to Radio and said "hold my beer Bubba and watch this". So I went over to the phone and called GForce1320 and ordered a 9 inch rear end with a Moser pumkin, 3:50 gears, and a 35 spline Wave Trac upgrade.

Parts have started arriving and the first received was the housing. Thought I'd follow along with it as we install it. First up was strengthening and modifying the stock control arms. http://i512.photobucket.com/albums/t...inch-1-640.jpg http://i512.photobucket.com/albums/t...Inch-5-640.jpg http://i512.photobucket.com/albums/t...inch-2-640.jpg http://i512.photobucket.com/albums/t.../LCA-5-640.jpg http://i512.photobucket.com/albums/t.../LCA-4-640.jpg We also started the next phase of the engine tuneup, receiving the Nitrous Kit http://i512.photobucket.com/albums/t...lket-1-640.jpg . |
Axles and Stubs came in today, she's on the rack getting more **** put in the trunk right now, start with the new install on the 9" IRS tomorrow.

Ford 9 inch install is done and the car is running.

Bend over, touch your toes, me n Ethyl will show ya where the wild weasel goes. Shaping up to be an interesting dyno day on the 29th at SNL in Haslett, providing we don't barbeque Phoenix on the dyno tuning it.

Thanks
Damned injectors were so big we had to take the blower off to get them on. Everything is on and buttoned up, waiting for Matt to tune it. E85 conversion complete except the tuning. http://i512.photobucket.com/albums/t...uel047-640.jpg http://i512.photobucket.com/albums/t...uel045-640.jpg http://i512.photobucket.com/albums/t...uel044-640.jpg http://i512.photobucket.com/albums/t...uel041-640.jpg |
We are at 969/1111. A1000 is maxed out.
|
holly $h!t!
|
that's insane.
|
Here is some actual on the road footage.

Looking at 19 by 11 CCWs. Got one with a 305 tire for a test fit. Pretty noticeable difference over the 295's
http://i512.photobucket.com/albums/t...eels-3-640.jpg http://i512.photobucket.com/albums/t...eels-2-640.jpg |
Started on the exhaust today, should be done this weekend.
http://i512.photobucket.com/albums/t...07-2-640-1.jpg |
Will you have to tub the car to get the 305s in there? I thought I read somewhere that these cars can't handle a wide tire.
|
It is tubbed. This is a 305 on it with an 11 inch rim
http://i512.photobucket.com/albums/t...els-10-640.jpg We believe we can go up to a 315 http://i512.photobucket.com/albums/t...els-12-640.jpg |
Got the exhaust on it finally
|
fixed your video. That thing is insane. :yes:

Pulling the 9 inch for some upgrades. Also pulling the T-56 to freshen it up. We are building a TH400 for Drag Racing and will probably build a 4L80E for a more permanent solution. http://i512.photobucket.com/albums/t.../T56-1-640.jpg http://i512.photobucket.com/albums/t...T-56-2-640.jpg http://i512.photobucket.com/albums/t...nch-46-640.jpg http://i512.photobucket.com/albums/t...nch-53-640.jpg |
Had a good night. Cut on the under bracing for the hood. Should be ready to cut the top for fitment tomorrow.
http://i512.photobucket.com/albums/t...Hood-1-640.jpg http://i512.photobucket.com/albums/t...Hood-9-640.jpg http://i512.photobucket.com/albums/t...ood-17-640.jpg http://i512.photobucket.com/albums/t...ood-18-640.jpg I dinged it up a little but was basically pleased with the work. http://i512.photobucket.com/albums/t...ood-20-640.jpg http://i512.photobucket.com/albums/t...ood-24-640.jpg http://i512.photobucket.com/albums/t...ood-27-640.jpg http://i512.photobucket.com/albums/t...ood-29-640.jpg http://i512.photobucket.com/albums/t...ood-30-640.jpg |
I really appreciated the help too.
Measuring and masking it off, had removed some of the subbracing Friday. http://i512.photobucket.com/albums/t...ood-33-640.jpg Initial cuts are well inside what we expected the ultimate dimensions were. Kept the cuts small and closed the hood frequently to judge measurements. http://i512.photobucket.com/albums/t...ood-40-640.jpg http://i512.photobucket.com/albums/t...ood-42-640.jpg Really couldn't decide about covering or leaving out in the open until we saw what we had to work with when we got it to close. I will be looking to see what it would take to cover the blower and intake. Next major hurdle was the intake and Throttlebody. Inexperienced worker was a barrier, a few unnecessary dings and scratches http://i512.photobucket.com/albums/t...ood-46-640.jpg http://i512.photobucket.com/albums/t...ood-47-640.jpg And here is the hood closed, next stop body shop http://i512.photobucket.com/albums/t...ood-49-640.jpg |
