    Nah...she only had to move a few miles to dyno shop. I made it no problem. I also flicked the stap and mumbled that ain't going anywhere. Probably a good idea on coming home....as that is a longer drive.

    Melling M-10687 Green Spring

    I have a HV white one for my 351 pump. I just used the standard one, which I believe is pink. Can't recall the PN of the pump.

    Made it back out to shop today with one objective to wrap up the intake. This time I made a template to transfer to the ports. Using thick poster board, need 2 pieces to make up close to the .030 gasket thickness. Worked really well as it helped me know exactly what to grind. After that I...

    Well after a few days stewing on this, decided to one more round of weld and grind this intake. I have 3 ports I am not happy with.

    Black Jack: Engine vibration guessing

    This is the reason I am running non Cobra brake set up, with 15", plus lighter. As for rear suspension bushings. I split a set at the track years ago. I switched to TeamZ solid set up. If you are launching hard with higher HP I feel solid is the only logical long term solution.

    Thanks!! That is a "bib" drain ordered 10 on Friday as no one around has any. Pretty convenient for spring and fall water drains. This will probably get coolant starting out at least.

    Alittle more progress today. Intake ports are ported and properly fitted. Not perfect but much better then my earlier post. Have stainless bolts installed on the front timing cover as well as the balancer and water pump final installed. Intake still needs alittle plenum clean up. Pretty...

    Ported Intake after having it welded. Started first with dykam and scribed .100 under port size. Will see later this week how it fits. I ported this at my house in the yard, engine is being build a hour away at my dads shop. I try to bring "home work" home when I can to keep the project moving.

    Picked up intake from machine shop yesterday! Figure 2-4 hrs of grinding with a air grinder will have this where I want it. Last weekend painted the block and oil pan. Had to go through my shaft rockers, not entirely suprised as I had to go throughthe lifters. New bearings and shafts...

    Mocked up the clockwise rotation water pump and alternator with Speed Doctor brackets. Moved alternator to drivers side to clean the wiring up more. Old belt used for mock up, new one will be a inch of so shorter. Used my neighbors camera to check port alignment. Will drop off intake at...

    Thanks! Regarding the scraper, my machine shop actually advised skipping it and just installing the windiage tray. If I remember correctly, the comment was about when rotating the engine on the bench; with this 4" stroke, you have to be very careful with your fingers on the pan rail. Unlike a...

    Mustang5L5’s progress thread - Rear window fun

    Following... glad you are on your way! You make me glad I run a carburetor on my car. Although I am currently building my new engine with a EFI intake with intentions to convert to EFI someday, it probably won't be MS; it will likely be a Holley system.

    Stuffed the pistons and rods last weekend. I ran into some issues with the wrist pin clips—first they were the wrong diameter, and then the wrist pins were too long. But that’s engine building for you! Since the FTI camshaft finally arrived on Friday, I spent yesterday fitting it with dual pins...
