You’re going to do what now that you’ve pulled it all out?

Start swapping heads etc over to the Ford performance block I put together. Finish the intake track I started building. It’s all in this thread

You know Richard holdener is gonna compound a sc 3800 on his dyno to see what power it makes. Should be a good idea on how it works

I love that guy.. one of my hero's

his testing that of course I found after the turbos were installed ect.. shows that a set of GT35 turbos absolutely kill on a TT setup

Doing some “maintenance” these threaded holes in the blower were definitely not designed to be used often. They were starting to get buggered up so I installed time serts. They aren’t cheap for the kit but damn are they easy to install and quite impressive. I’ll never repair another threaded hole any other way.

Just need to get to my brothers and mill this out. I’ll get it close then match it to the blower and “funnel”

 

[KZGUNS]

Will need to cut some pipe to get this area into the intake. I’ll use some small exhaust pipe to make a flare.

You are making some awesome progress on this build. I can't wait to see the final product as its going to be epic.

Also, still waiting on the news of the turbo

 

[a91what]

Smooth curves and plenum volume will help tremendously

It’s good to have neighbors that are car guys too. I helped my good friend and neighbor get his lift put together. It went well and the engine hoist came in handy. Lift is an Atlas 8000# extra tall and wide. Also got one of the things I ordered. Black Friday deal an aluminum McLeod flywheel. I’m aware of the pros and cons but for $104 we’ll see how I like it.

Some of the final big pieces showed up today.

I’m thinking about using a Volvo power steering pump. It would clean things up a bit and I wouldn’t need to have the belt go way over to the one side.
thoughts?

may as well give it a try, the PS pump on that front engine dress tends to buckle a bit and cause a misalignment of the belt. link to the pump in question?

05-13 Volvo I think I can fit it in the fender or bumper area if I wanted to completely hide it.

I think that is a great idea.. I may do this myself

 

[eighty5fox]

I am currently setting up the same pump it can be easily fit in the front bumper and stick up under the head light. I will post pics in a few minutes.

There’s some information online about adapting the thread on the pressure line. I believe with -an fittings

 

[eighty5fox]

still have some work to do on mounting but fits great and clears everything. There is a nice write up on the another mustang forum

 

[KZGUNS]

@eighty5fox cool thanks. Let us know what fittings you ended up using.
