But it's proly for Bullet (the grinding company) to identify the box as VT grinds

 

[Jim@CMS]

LOL! You are correct....it's to identify the grind. I talked to Bullet about that this week, to start using the CMS name.

Now get em in and let me know!

Was going to tackle the rest of this this week, but the owner of a certain shop dropped me a line. Seem's his master tech Larry Smith wouldn't mind taking this under his wing. When he feels better (had the Flu last week, figures) we're going to knock it out in the weekend.
He built this:

SWEEET!

 

[Winters98GT]

ahh, no need for a headswap....

spray it till it blows, then drop a $400 pi engine in 'er

 

[CobraRed_96_GT]

ahh, no need for a headswap....

Words of wisdom. That's what i should have done, my tranny can handle 520+. But i already have the parts for s pi+vt cam swap Oh well, at least by this rate i'll have dyno numbers by 2009

Any updates to the build up?

Any updates to the build up?

Oh no, you revived it before i posted the final update. I'm a failure.
Was done last Thursday. Since been dealing with what i believed to be a collapsed cam follower on the driver's side head making a ticking noise. Bought 8 new cam followers for $80 from the ford stealer and put them in, ticking noise - maybe less faint. Valve cover off again, tower caps off - cranked to recirculate oil into the journals and galleys. Then it was basically gone. I'll leave it at that for now as I'm in between camping and going to cabo for a wedding. So ya'll have to wait to know my numbers/see the vids.

 

[CobraRed_96_GT]

Driver's side head has an oil flow problem - which is causing the ticking due to lack of sufficient oil. This is pretty crappy, i have to contact Allied Motorparts and address this BS

Sucks to hear man, good luck on getting it running right.
