Could it be? In the bay? PICS !!

[Paul Perreca]

engine and transe put in seperately- for those who wonder-

GOD it looks good finally in the bay!! Gotta clean the piss out of all the wires, and than it's time to hook everything back up - gotta put the drive shaft on, the alternator brack alternator, power steering brack, power steering pump, ac bracket, ac comp, hook up everything and put in fan shroud, pulleys, fan, radiator, and cold air intake, upper cobra polished plenum, and other than that, odds n ends, tuning, grounds, everything is almost done- we'll be doing more next weekend, probably put the front of the engine together, and maybe the intake - hopfully! Post any comments!!!

Looks awesome.

The grungy distributor takes a little away from it.

 

[WhiteHeat306]

All that time and effort has paid off. All you have to do is button it all back up and you'll be set.


You've officially been pimped lol.

looks good, valve covers chromed or polished?

 

[Paul Perreca]

valve covers are not the stock ones, they are exactly the same though - they are chrome - that distributer is no worry, hasn't been cleaned yet, and it will be painted the beige that my alt, ac comp, and all the front brackets are -

 

[Mustang5L5]

I think it would be cool if the Dist was painted to match the car

 

[Paul Perreca]

done lol maybe i will - it's easy enough to do- i can just two tone it lol - i'll do the bottom half the beige on the bottom of my car, and the cap the green lol

 

[Paul Perreca]

it's easy enough to change the color of the dizzy - i may even just get a MSD later, but the god damn thing costs over 200 dollars -

looking great how much money u got in this project now?

 

[BlownFiveLiter]

Man, your car looks good!
I definitely like the paint combination over the white it used to be!

 

[sunil6784]

Wow nice job, makes me wish I had money to do something like that...lol. What kind of tranny are u putting behind it?

 

[Car RamRod]

button it all back up and you'll be set.

[DMAN302]

Best is yet to come Paul..looks great though.

 

[Paul Perreca]

thanks for all the compliments - yea thats a stock T-5, when i blow it, i'll get either a world class, or a tremec - but i can't afford it as of now - in my final product thread when it is done, i'll put all the parts and what i paid for them (round about) along w/ the pics - so far i think it's a little over $4,000 cuz of all the stupid little **** that adds up - if i didn't replace everything little like those air temp sensors in the intake, ALL gaskets (given), starter, bolts, stuff of that kind that are small, but important - cause this is my daily driver, i don't wanna have a new motor, and 3000 miles later, my Air temp sensor go bad and i have to trouble shoot - though i havn't replaced the fuel pump yet - but thats sure to come after i run it almost out of gas lol

 

[old_blue]

very nice man. Iam the same way. I am like a pck rat with new parts, waiting until I have every little thing brand new to install. Otherwise you run into all those little problems during installation or down the road.

 

[Paul Perreca]

i hate troubleshooting lol

 

[Paul Perreca]

Put intake on for some pics -

Hope you like it - i love it - it looks like it's huge lol w/o anything else in there lol -

 

[jackchan]

valve covers are not the stock ones, they are exactly the same though - they are chrome

[Mustang5L5]

That looks awesome!
