I didnt click on the tab , i thought it was some type of hinge assy..
My buddy is building a 7second Vega and he bumped the nose out 4 inches .
Then he had a glass guy extend the hood to fit and then spent the next two days fabricating hinges so that type of hood would hinge up instead of lifting off !

Something like this? My cousin sprayed this quick for a friend with a Camaro.

I ordered the Taylor ThunderVolt 50 (10.4mm) plug/coil wires. These are 96-98 Ford DOHC hemi-boot style universal, with extra long length without the coil pack boot ends. 10 (90 degree) boot ends for HEI distributor/coil terminals and one 30" length coil wire. I might decide to run to different coils, MSD Pro Blaster for the track, MSD HVC-II for the street.

Now Jeff will be able to custom length fit my plug wires/coil. Not cheap, $280 for all my plug/coil wires.

No, I'm running an MSD crank trigger distributor with an MSD magnetic trigger wheel (flying 4 magnet wheel)..

i guess i had a brain fart and as soon as you posted that, i remembered the carb'd setup and no need for those silly $3k computers lol

i kinda got excited since i've been eyeballing the xfi and bs3 setups and a lot of racers were using the digital 7+ lol

heads and block decked a few thousandths? what size chambers? domed pistons? bore size?

Phil · 11-11-2009, 10:29 AM

I compiled posts from this thread for a complete discription of this build. Click on the blue arrows to see the post/pics.. Originally I wanted 13:1 CR but JE determined with their flow software that anything over 12.2:1 CR with the small bore, would hurt exhaust flow due to shrouding the exhaust valves.

Fox lake CNC stage 3 port, valve/seat angle job, bronze valve guides, machined tips of valves & factory rollor followers since valves have been slightly sunk in seats. Full Torque aluminum anodized spark plug threaded inserts (9 threads). Replaced all exhaust valves. Cam caps clearanced for cam lobes.

The block has been bored utilizing torque plates for final honing to 3.556", basically .005" over factory. Head chamber has been molded for piston profile for JE Pistons to start machining a custom set of domed forged nitrous pistons. Tops will be thermal coated & skirts teflon coated. Total Seal zero gap 1.5mm stainless steel top ring. 1.5mm ductile iron napier and 3.0mm high tension oil rings. The top ring land on pistons will be at least .250" thick.

Here are pics of the finished heads:

I will be at the means of 325/330 cfm intake flow with Crower Int. cam of .473
lift and means of 249/256 with the cfm exhaust flow at .472 lift.

This is a one of a kind J.E. custom 12:1 nitrous piston for a factory bore 4.6l mod motor. The top ring lands are .275" thick. The pic of the underside shows how beefy the piston pin bosses are. They have been shipped to Polydyne coatings in Houston, TX.

These pistons would net a higher compression ratio over 12:1 if my cylinder heads were at factory 53-54cc combustion chambers. After the heads were ported, the compression bump in the chambers are removed along with the valve grind slightly sinking the valves in the seats. My true chamber volume cc'd by Fox Lake is now 57cc.

However, due to exhaust flow restriction trying to acheive 13:1 CR with a factory bore, I was forced to go with 12:1 which proved to be optimum performance flow at top end rpm's. Shrouding of the exhaust valves becomes a problem starting slightly higher then 12:1.

Weight of the piston is 392 grams not including thermal top coating and side skirt teflon coating. The pins being used are .866" diameter (factory) J.E. super duty 93 series straight wall with .170" wall thickness weighing 121 grams.

Then the rotating assembly components will be balanced and short block assembled by next week at Victory Engines. Short block will then be transfered to CRT Performance, where Jeff C. will complete the engine build.

Well she looks nice and stripped down . Thats the easy part . lol

I take it your installing a full cage ? I dont mind all the pipe fabrication its all the prep work of removing all the sound deadoning matl. on the floor , but what sux most of all is getting that dash back in its original place with everything working and in tact !

Defrost-Heat ! Have fun and enjoy !

Starting to really come together Phil , keep up the good work .

Yes, 10 pt cage will be going in soon. Eliminating certain under dash components, wiring. Will be ordering a Florida 5.0 insturment panel. The MSD digital 7 ignition will be mounted where the passanger air bag was.

White04Mach · 11-12-2009, 06:33 AM

Dang Phil I thought your car was supposed to be getting put together? Just messin. Looks like its tore apart more than when I was at your house. Might be heading up to CRT on friday so I'll have to check it all out.

Ya, I decided I'd better go ahead with a 10 pt cage.. Then all the stuff not needed under the dash, can be pulled too... There is no dang end

Ditch the braking components too...cut a hole in the floor board and buy some hard soled boots...you'll thank me later for reducing all that rotating mass, plus you can run some super wide tires out back and super tiny wheels up front....

You're welcome, in advance.

Received the Kooks stainless custom headers last week. These are step headers that start at 1.625" primaries and open up to 1.75" primaries into 3" straight thru collectors.

The exhaust ports have been rough ported.. I plan on port matching the exhaust ports to my ported heads/exh gasket.

Phil · 12-06-2009, 03:48 PM

Be sure not to use the gaskets that came with them. Use stock ford gaskets.

Thanks for the deal/sales Col on the Kooks!!!

I was comparing the Percy gaskets vs the Ford factory imbossed steel gaskets and the Fords match the head exhaust ports better, even after a port job on the heads.. The quality/strength of the Ford steel imbossed exh. gasket is hands down the winner...

Big Datty · 12-06-2009, 06:41 PM

That's quite a build ya got goin there Phil, nice work. Gonna have her all ready next year?

Hey craig!! Thanks!!

Yes, it's at CRT Performance for the winter on the final stage of this build. Once the 6pt roll bar is converted to a 10 pt cage, then everything will come together. Jeff is getting all plumbing & wiring finished now. The manual brake system/line lock install is complete. The interior is gutted, including the dash/steering column removed. The factory computor/wiring is gone also.

Phil · 12-19-2009, 04:59 PM

Just got back from CRT Performance and took several pics of the detailed progress.

Entire manual brake system with wilwood proportioning valve finished, excellent job done by Chris who works at CRT Performance. Line lock hidden behind inner wheel well with a pressure switch for brake lights. Lines are routed to be pretty much hidden in engine bay. All black enamel coated brake lines used. Brake pedal leverage modified for strange manual master cylinder. Rear fuel pump/filter raised for additional ground clearance while still being able to see these with rear bumper installed. The tank deep sump has been painted black (not installed) and Jeff wired the tank for fuel level using factory float/sending unit. So, when I'm around "E" the deep sump is still full.

Nitrous stand alone fuel tank polished and plumbed with holley pump/regulator/filter with custom aluminum tank mount that I machined.

The factory electrical junction/fuse box mounted behind, inner wheel well.. Florida 5.0 custom speedometer/tach, fuel gauge, battery voltage instrument gauge panel. This is taking the place of the factory dash instrumentaion panel.. Jeff has made a custom wiring harness for window heater defrosters front/back, power windows, power door locks, turn signals, headlights, park lights, brake lights, reverse lights, trunk opener, motor fuel pump, nitrous fuel pump and so on..

A lot of time is going into completely removing entire factory wire harness & computer and starting from scratch to re-wire..

I took a pic of about 18 lbs of wire, harnesses that has been removed. Soon, the 10 pt cage is next.

CHE shock tower adjustable strut brace installed.

More pics: Scott Rod filler panels and 18 lbs of factory wire/harnesses removed. Decided not to go the welded engine bay route.. Some more aluminum filler panels will be added as time goes on.

Pic of left front brake line.

Phil · 12-19-2009, 05:16 PM

Pics of the modified MMR distributor drive setup I machined using a .060" offset bushing (Jeff's idea) to dial in the alignment of socket to exhaust cam bolt. Next I will be machining a custom hold down clamp for distributor.
