Starting my Build
 

So I've been gathering parts for the past 6 months and now it's time to get things moving.

Parts I have so far:
Used Mach block with crank
Manley .020 over flat tops w/ rings
2013 Boss Rods
ARP hardware
98 Cobra Cams
A set of Ported C Heads (supposedly stage 2 livernois heads but can't confirm)

Once I get my Billet oil pump I will be sending the block to the builder.

Drool... Looks sweet! whats the final goal for the car?

Re: Starting my Build
 

My goal is to have a mid or low 10 second street car.
It will be making around 450 at first. Then once I get a return style fuel system and bigger blower I will be expecting 600-650hp on E-85.

Re: Starting my Build
 

good luck and have fun.

Re: Starting my Build

Re: Starting my Build
 

Quick update. Just ordered a MMR Hurricane oil pump. And tomorrow I plan on disassembling the rods and pistons from the used block. :yes:

Re: Starting my Build
 

Just bought an engine stand from Harbor Freight. Now time to mock up the old motor and remove the rods and pistons.

Re: Starting my Build

The crank has a little scar. Hopefully the machine shop can take care of it.

Not to sure I you guys are going to be able to the pics.

Lets see if this works.

Re: Starting my Build
 

Freakin government computer :grr:, I can't see any of the pics and I have been around since 11 PM, hopefully crank will clean up for you..great thread and good luck!!
Note: I could see the last one (thumbnail).

Re: Starting my Build
 

Ok, thanks for the heads up. Now I know what works

Re: Starting my Build
 

I cannot see most of your pics, link to google mail is what happens. The attached ones has a broken link to the thumbnail but I can click on those and view them.


I put all my pics in Google+ under photos, then make the folder than I am sharing as 'public' but just that folder. Then I open the pics, right click and select 'copy image address' then I past this into the 'insert image' button/box.

Thanks TKat. Think I got it figured out.

Re: Starting my Build
 

MMR Hurricane oil pump.

Re: Starting my Build
 

A word of advise :wall:...If you don't want to see the same damage to youre current crank again...Throw that MMR oil pump in the trash ,get a real pump get a melling pump.

Re: Starting my Build
 

you mean you have had a MMR pump fail on you....lol..:3:

Re: Starting my Build
 

Sort of..I went to install the MMR pump I got in a 2 for one deal. I decided to just check inside the pump to make sure it was clean. When I removed the cover a small sliver of metal was caught in gear and the housing. I called MMR and wanted them to replace it ,they said no , since I had opened it up! I called Melling , ordered a pump and threw the MMR in the round file !

Re: Starting my Build
 

Thanks for your input. Was the pump new when you opened it up? I've been doing some research and I've noticed people have had problems with both MMR and the melling pump. Seems like the TSS oil pump has had the best reviews.

Re: Starting my Build
 

Tomorrow im sending the valve covers to get powder coated azure blue. I was going to do the timing cover also but now I want to hyrdo dip it carbon fiber. not to sure yet.

Re: Starting my Build
 

Well the azure blue the shop had didn't really match my car. The azure they had looked more like a grabber blue to me. I hope the color I picked matches up pretty good. My timing cover and my "Powered By Ford“ cop covers will be getting hydro dipped carbon fiber. My valve cover inserts will be getting dipped in carbon fiber too.

Re: Starting my Build
 

You could paint the covers to match your car...it will hold up fine. I did mine in DSG and turned out perfect.

Re: Starting my Build
 

It's a little to late for that now :wall:. I think it will come out fine. The valve covers should be ready by Friday.

Re: Starting my Build
 

Just dropped off the heads to the builder. We ended up going with 1mm oversize REV Intake valves and a 4 angle valve job. He said the ports on the heads were pretty good so no extra porting was needed.

Re: Starting my Build
 

Once the builder is done with the heads everything else will be on its way out my house.

Saw these fuel pumps over at svt and ordered 2. Pretty awesome deal for anyone switching to e85.

Let me know if this works.

Re: Starting my Build
 

Since they have your heads. Not sure if you already have them or not but look into a better valve spring since your planning on running that much boost.

Re: Starting my Build
 

Good idea, i'll look into it. Supposedly the heads are stage 2 Livernois if thats true it should have Livernois single coil valve springs. Did you upgrade your springs? If so which did you go with?

I'd pay to have the heads looked at. A friend of mine trusted a used set of heads that ended up costing him a motor and eventually had to sell his car because of the added expense.

Re: Starting my Build
 

Those are the same ones I picked up, I got 3 of them but when I bought them they were 130.00 each... urg... They look completely legit.

the heads are at the shop right now getting freshened up. when I showed him the heads I asked if he thought they're Livernois and he said there's a Good chance they could be. He really liked the ports and since they were used we went ahead and ordered oversize SS valves, did a 4 angle valve job, and new seals.

Re: Starting my Build
 

I bought both for about $220. Seems like a 2 for 1 kind of deal

Re: Starting my Build
 

Yea great deal...
Oh and I'm using comp springs.. yours are probably upgraded, I believe there stage 2 & 3 heads have their upgraded springs on them.

Re: Starting my Build
 

Looks like the pumps went up to $138.

Re: Starting my Build
 

Just bought a Canton oil pan, windage tray, and gasket. I dont think i needed it but I paid $200 for everything. I thought it was worth it.

Re: Starting my Build
 

Valve covers are here! They're not the perfect match but they look sweet. I also took a sneak peak at the carbon fiber timing cover and that thing looked awesome.
