More updates. Having issues since I thought I'd be cool and buy one of those cool gaskets for the rear.

Two wasted royal purple bottles is fluid later I am using silicone. Ugh. Now to let it sit overnight before I fill.

That is sexy, makes mine look like crap...

squeak93 · Mar 3, 2017

Well sexy still leaks after the third try. I give up. This is getting stupid

Still no cams and no trans. Maybe I should part this crap out for pennies on the dollar and put a stock motor and trans back in.

BlackGoose699 · Mar 4, 2017

I'll buy it I have 100 dollars.

squeak93 · Mar 4, 2017

Haha. That might get you something here soon.

So I took the rear apart. Again.

The silicone didn't seal. I let it sit about 8 hours before filling. This time I'm going to not fill it until tomorrow. Ether the silicone was too old (only about a month old barely used tube) or it was too cold to properly cure. Either way it's annoying. Lol.

Race car drama over. Back to regularly schedule waiting on cams drama.

Good build thread and SEXY car! There's always some crap that goes wrong, that's just how it works lol. Bob Monks will take care of you, he knows his . My car is up there right now. Can't wait to see what kind of numbers you put down.

Got the trans and stall home last night. I've got a wiring harness to build tonight so I can control the lock up and over drive functions. I ordered a silver and a black button (so It's easy to explain to the wife which does what) of the same style since I now have to use latching).

Also, no Cams. I

Aha! I see the problem. That's supposed to go in the car.

squeak93 · Mar 8, 2017

It's so lonely......

Machobra 1 · Mar 9, 2017

Maybe I missed this somewhere, but how much boost do you plan to run?

squeak93 · Mar 9, 2017

Should be 15 or so. I saw 12/13 at 5500 and we plan to spin this motor 6500 and plus am running no Inlet tube this time which is a huge restriction. Turbo guard for the win

Machobra 1 · Mar 9, 2017

That's cool, that's what I'm making at 6500 and Bob got it making 486 whp. I have Cobra rods and pistons like you. You might be able to make more, he said the P1SC that came with these Mach 1 kits are not as efficient as the regular P1SC. He will get as much as safely possible, I really can't say enough good things about him. Probably the best Ford tuner in a 1500 mile radius.

squeak93 · Mar 11, 2017

I'm no where near done but this will be my trans od and tq lock up button setup.

My soldering iron tip finally gave out after 10 years so I hit a standstill.

squeak93 · Mar 11, 2017

All finished and working as instructed too. Black is torque converter lock up and silver is overdrive on/off.

squeak93 · Mar 11, 2017

Here is the under hood portion of the harness. Plus the lead for the trans temp gauge. All turned out super clean. Now I need it get some cams degreed. We leave for vac next week and I won't be back on this for 10-14 days.

squeak93 · Mar 12, 2017

I just got the cam shipping notification so they will be delivered tomorrow. Hoping to have the time tomorrow eve to degree them and button up this motor. We are leaving in vacation at the end of the week so I doubt I have time to stab this motor back in the car since I have to prep my fifth wheel for the long haul etc.

Noobz347 · Mar 12, 2017

Kinda off-topic but your battery terminals and wires all look like they need a sandwich. Maybe a couple sandwiches. Is it just the image?

squeak93 · Mar 12, 2017

I'm not sure what you mean noobz. Everything was just very temporarily installed. Battery was sitting on fm and the terminals likely were not 100% tight. Just enough to run a couple of key on test and move on.

squeak93 · Mar 27, 2017

I've been down with the man flu and then out of town for ten days on vacation.

Finally got some garage time last night and made progress.

I'll hopefully mate the engine and trans wed eve and be ready for a motor install party fri night.
