Well, I wanted to wait until I officially "owned" the car (via title) before I give out any info. Most of you have an idea what Im cooking, but here's the scoop:
I bought Roger's Car (Green 94 5.0). He bought a CHP 331 with ALL forged components, except for the block, I guess a little less than 2 years ago. He got his engine bay cleaned up a bit and got his engine dropped in. Then after barely getting it running, he started a new position at work and has been working like crazy ever since, and had no time for the engine.
He offered to sell me the engine for a great price, and part out the rest of the car to make up the difference. After talking for awhile and wanting some of the other parts, he just offered to sell me the WHOLE car for a great price just so he could get it out of his garage and not deal with it. I agreed. It has just taken till now to get the bill of sale and the title signed over.
Basically here's what I got in a nutshell
CHP 331 Stroker Motor (8.8:1 Compression), Eagle 4340 Forged Crankshaft, Probe Industries Lightweight I-Beam Rods, Probe Industries SRS Pistons, Holley Systemax Intake Manifold (Inlet Ported To 75mm), AFR 185 61cc Cylinder
Heads, Cometic MLS Head Gaskets, Comp Cams Camshaft - FW 284H-R14 (.533/.544 114LSA), Probe Industries Main Girdle, Probe Industries 1.6 Lightweight Billet
Stud Mount Rockers, Probe Industries Dominator Timing Chain, Romac Ultra Light Harmonic Balancer, Fidanza Aluminum Flywheel, , AFM Chrome Valve Covers, Kirban Adjustable FPR, MSD 6AL Ignition, MSD Blaster TFI Coil, MSD 8.5mm Spark Plug Wires, MSD Cap & Rotor, FRPP 42lb/hr. Injectors, Canton 7qt. Oil Pan, FelPro Gaskets, ARP 12pt Intake Bolts, ARP Head Studs, Energy Suspension Polyurethane Motor Mounts, Cardone High Torque Starter,Stage 8
Locking Header Bolts, Pro-M o2 Sensor Extenders, Fluidyne Aluminum Radiator, 180° Thermostat, K&N Filter, PLX M-300 Wideband o2 Sensor,
That's just a summary...
The car also came with a new Pro-Motion Tremec TKO 600, Ceramic Long tubes, H Pipe, exhaust, 2003 Cobra Rims. Fluidyne, FMS Drive shaft, Cobra Front brakes, Steeda U/L control arms, Steeda qa1 K member and more.
Anyway, I have since sold about $2000 worth of parts to help fund the extras I wanted/needed, including The Vortech that was on the car, Power Pipe, TWO throttle bodies, Pro M 77, MY PI Stallion and some other stuff. I am converting to a Fox TB...I have spent about $1000 of that money on parts for my 'desired' setup including polishing the Holley.
Anyway...the project has progressed to where you see on my other posts, thanks to the help of Jose (St8stang 036) and his friend. In exchange, they are getting all the left over parts and the car with my engine put back in it when we are done, and also the Cobra Rims....WELL WORTH IT TO ME!!!.
I want this car to be a "FAST" Show car as opposed to a Nice looking "race car". If you know what I mean.
In addition to the swap, I am doing a battery relocate, Fox TB setup , AODE to Tremec conversion and some wire harness mods.
Sorry for the drawn out post... Just getting excited, anxious, and nervous all at once because of the size of the undertaking!!
QUESTIONS?
