My Engine build thread

[25thmustang]

GearHd6, have any interest in spraying another engine bay? I am really tempted to do mine while the motor is out of the car. I am having the car painted, but the motor will be back in before then. Nice work guys, and bentley you got my AIM name, if you guys ever need help working on it let me know. Ive been around a Mustang once or twice!

Berlin, between my fam in Berlin, friends in New Britain, Meriden and Wallingford I think we have 25+ Mustangs!

 

[blackened88lx]

Me and Bentley are from the Windham area. We all have to meet up at the pike in the spring.

 

[25thmustang]

Yeah, Im usually around out there, know a good deal of Mustang guys around the area (my back yard afterall). I will also be going to the track the weekend my cars done, so if anyone is interested in a Lebanon Valley run, let me know!

 

[bentley429]

Yea, we'll all get together at some point. Iam going to have to break in this clunker for awhile so Iam not sure when I'll be heading for the track. Should start driving it around April.

 

[blackened88lx]

Yeah, I'll definitely be up for track days when my car is done.

 

[bentley429]

Updated pictures...Just have to paint the CC plates and thats about all I can do until the engine is back in.

 

[25thmustang]

Hot, I want to be in that same place in the next week or two!

 

[bentley429]

Well I havent posted for awhile but have made alot of progress. I got the engine back from the machine shop afew weeks ago, then I finished up putting it together. Then blackened and I dropped it in the car today. I just used another set of valve covers while I was putting it in, and dont mind my hand in one of the pictures haha. Heres some pictures:

 

[GearHd6]

Looks good man! Sorry I couldnt be there to help. I've got my own serious projects going on as you know.

 

[blackened88lx]

Yeah, thanks for the help man! We travel across the world to move your ass and you can't even drop a motor in with us Just kidding Everything went okay, and it looks great.

 

[25thmustang]

Bentley what year is your car? I thought it was an 89 but after looking at the MC it appears to be older? I know I should remember, but I cant for the life of me! Either way looking great. Im in CT if you ever need a hand let me know. I have been around a Mustang or two in my day!

 

[blackened88lx]

Nice sig yo! Bounty car ftw! It's an '89, but he recently put a mc in it. Maybe it's different.

 

[bentley429]

25th, it is a 89 but because I have rear disc I have a different MC. When our cars are all set we have to get together at the pike or something and grab a burger. BTW your car is looking awesome.

 

[25thmustang]

Hmm, I didnt know you had rear discs, decent upgrade there! That would probably explain it, it just looks like the one in our 86, not like the one that I took out of my 89.

Ill be down when the cars done. Right now Im in the middle of redoing the timing cover gasket (my dumbass messed it up) which isnt as easy as it sounds!
