my 393 pics

Oh I forgot too.....you'll want to check out the VC clearance on the intake with the throttle body on it. It's the throttle cable linkage and bracket that wouldn't clear.

Here are the VC's after I put in the comp cams breather neck. I thin the part # was like VH1 or something. It had bolts that went through the top into a bottom piece inside the VC so I used that to make a baffle. It was pointless not having a baffle.

not yet, still waiting on my SON OF A ******* injectors. :mad:

the first set i bought november 15th, they were shipped november 28th and they still arnt here yet. coming from canada so the assumption is that they are stuck in customs somewhere because the seller doesnt have a tracking number.

the second set i bought december 24th, they were shipped december 26th but they werent scheduled to get here till jan 5th, but today i got an email saying that the arrival date has changed to jan 6th, they are coming from NJ, the good news on this set is that atleast i have a tracking number and an anticipated date of arrival.

hurry up and wait, somehow this reminds me of my Marine Corps days. Gotta love it! :flag:

it sucks but its given me more then enough time to fix little odd's and end's here and there on the car that i was planning on putting off for a later time. she's actually got a 2.73 rear end in her right now that i threw in when gas was almost 5 bucks a gallon but now that gas is reasonable im thinkin about throwin my 4.10 rear end back in her. it should be absoultely discusting with the 4.10, might be way too much gear so ive got a 3.55 gear set on stand by if it is. :nice:

rod length is stock, 5.956 if i remember right, they are the truck football rods D6OE's
 
sweet, that would be awesome if you had any of it at all!!

the bottom tabs on the door panel are broken on my panel so the door panel flops back and forth when i open or close the door, also mine are black on the top, i believe that was the mach 460 option??????? not sure :shrug:

my drivers side seat track is broken in half about 2 inchs just behind the left front mount and the forward to backward doesnt work, the seat is pretty much set exactly where i need it so it doesnt bother me as bad as the track itself being broken, everytime i get out of the car the whole seat flexs back because its not supported on the left front, its pretty annoying, someone attempted to weld it but it snapped again, the guy i got the car from was a pretty big dude so i assume thats why it snapped

and my passenger side air vent the directional fins are broken.

got a good deal on the car though, had it for about 2 weeks now i guess, traded a non turbo mitsu 3000gt for it, needs paint and a/c work but overall its pretty decent :nice:

u ever do any troubleshooting on a sn95? if so check out this thread i posted in the 94-95 tech forum

cobra912 - finally got around to test fitting the upper intake, looks like im going to need a 1/2 inch spacer, its not that bad but it definately for sure needs a spacer. the throttle linkage on the bottom of the throttle body is hitting as well as the opposite side.

also since i finally got around to test fitting the upper, my stock hood is definately fo sho a no go. i was hoping and praying i was gonna get lucky and it was gonna fit since i used solid motor mounts and by comparsion my upper really isnt that tall. so now im in the market for a cowl.

exactly what my wife did when i told her --> :nono:

exactly what i did after that --> :shock:
 
im gonna run 42's and see how she does, ive bought 2 sets and dont have either set yet though so she hasnt been fired up yet. first set is ua and the second set is suposed to be here the 6th. so thats d-day

the throttle body is a 70mm bbk as the egr spacer is 70 as well, the maf is a 76mm c&l

ya shes a roller, the block is a 74 but i used the retro conversion lifters and threw a f-cam in her.

no i dont have any pics of the engine bay nor the engine just before i dropped it in, i was waiting on my injectors to get here to install them while it was still on the stand but i got tired of waiting so i threw it in one day out of pure boredom, then the transmission etc. needless to say ive been waiting on my first set of injectors for a long long time. i kick myself for not taking any pictures though cause i pressure washed everything so the engine bay looked pretty spiffy. funny how once you put used accessorys on a new engine it takes away from it a good bit. doesnt bother me much though as im intending on telling everyone its a 302. :nice:

whatcha think overall? think it will be a pretty decent beast?
 
im pretty sure the hood wont close even if i had slightly shorter valve covers and didnt need a spacer. i have the upper just resting on top of the lower right now and the space between the upper and lower intake is only about 1/4 inch at most but i figured id go 1/2 because the throttle linkage hangs down some. i layed the hood down and its not a pretty sight, so im thinkin about a cobra r style for it

anyone ever get lucky and get a stock hood to work with a 351w? from what i read some people have got the stock hood to work but i dont see how. i went with the solid motor mounts which i also read lowers the engine about 3/4 of an inch and its still pretty bad.
 
yeah you definitly have a good motor built. but i think your T.B and MAF is to to small.your stroked and i'm just a 40 over 351. i have a 75MM T.B and runnin a 90MM MAF.I'm not sure about your cam. The injectors will be good tho. If you get both set of injectors and if i dont buy new ones or dont have mine yet i might be intrested in a set peace

thanks for the compliments, i hope she is pretty decent.

the reason i have the 70mm throttle body is thats the size of my intake opening. doesnt seem very cost effective to spend additional money on a 75mm throttle body just to mount it on a 70mm intake. since im on a pretty tight budget im just goin with alot of my 302 set up parts and will upgrade the intake, throttle body, and egr spacer when money allows.

the f-cam i went with i actually bought awhile back for when i was still runnin my 302 but after recieving it i ran a compression test and the first 3 cylinders maxed out at 105-110 so thats what sparked the 351 build. why go through the trouble to do a cam swap on a motor with a worn bottom end? so i threw it in the 351 since i already had it. with my rockers ill have roughly .550 lift so ill see how she does. anyone got any suggestions on a cam?

future plans are afr's, upgrade my intake, throttle body, etc. and once im able to im going to rip it all back apart again and go with a 408 forged kit which with my bore will make it a 414, then got plans on a supercharger. these are all as money allows though so it could be awhile, the positive side to that is i should have a nice little toy to cruise around in while im collecting parts for the next build.

as far as the injectors go ive pretty much lost all hope in the first set showing up, its pretty mind blowing how long its been since he stated shipping them, today makes it 37 days. if i am proven wrong and they do show up i told COBRA912 he has first dibs but if he passes on them ill let you know fo sho
 
cool on the injecters! well if thats what you got to work with then cool. i thought you bought the intake and so forth for this engine. didnt know you already had the stuff. so when you do upgrade ohhhh man that thing will be awake like no tomorrow!peace

man i really hope so, thats my dream motor, forged bottom end 414, afr's, supercharged. but thats serious cash that i dont have.

ya with this build ive been workin with that i already had to save on cost but even in its current state its lightyears ahead in power compared to my strictly bolt on 302 set up

im absoultely diein to hear it take its first breath. everytime i go out to my garage and i see it i first get bent out of shape about the injector situation then second i get really happy cause i think about slammin some gears.

is there anyway to post an audio file on here? after i get her hummin id like to post an audio clip. anyone know how to do that?
