cut off the controller box and wire it into the 'high side' of the fan controller, make sure you program your ECU to only use the high side and have it come on earlier than normal, I have mine kick on at 170ish iirc.

two brackets and some smoothing, I think it took 15 minutes to do the trimming tops.

Re: TKat13's Mach1 Build Log

Weekend update; finally pulled the motor, work has been a bit crazy.


This time I pulled just the motor, left the tranny.



Since the motor is out I decided to install Phil's abs manifold. Here's some pics for comparison.

Re: TKat13's Mach1 Build Log

Here is the installed picture


Install was straight forward and not very difficult; I was stressing over cross threading as the tubing made it somewhat of a pain, patience is key here. I am thinking that a bracket will be needed, I don't like it floating around so much. My mind is thinking this one through. Did open up a ton of space.

Re: TKat13's Mach1 Build Log

Buffed, polished and waxed the inner fender; couple of spots that I need to tough up.



The rack was driving me nuts in my pictures, so I started cleaning that up. not finished at all, just a test spot cleaning.

Re: TKat13's Mach1 Build Log

(motor from top of bottom) Its all in what you get used to doing I guess.

(ECU)
I am about to jump off the deep end and decided to order a new ECU, I was going to go the holley path as they have plug and play type of setup, but I wanted some of the features of the Dominator ECU and that one you cannot get with all the harnesses without purchasing separately. I really liked the FuelTech setups but they were a bit pricy but after comparing to the Dominator and the features of the FuelTech… I have decided to jump head first and I ordered an FT550 Fuel Tech with Harness. I will not get it in until late Nov or even December as it is a new model. I liked the FT600 but a few inputs/outputs that I would never use and LEDs were not worth 1000+ extra dollars.


Here's a link, let me know your thoughts.

Just wondering if you have had a chance to see if you have the Milk Jug.

Re: TKat13's Mach1 Build Log

Crazy... got a text from 311-420 the other day and thought I would look around here a few minutes; remembered how much I loved this place and work has taken over in a bad way. Then I thought, I'd post a few updates...

Sadly, I do not have much to post. However, my new motor is ready to be picked up; getting the engine covers airbrushed and my Fueltech FT550 did come in, I am rethinking how I install this beast. I am thinking the radio will be history and it will go in its place. And then figure out a new head unit solution; I only use music from my phone so maybe some sort of hidden radio design. hmmmm

That FuelTech device would look pretty nice there in the center console.

Re: TKat13's Mach1 Build Log

Just a quick update; Motor is back and here is a teaser pic.



The tape on the valve covers is hiding -12AN Connectors for the breather tubing that I will add later with 90 degree fittings.

I am also going to replace all the ugly power steering lines with AN fittings/hoses. I hate the mess going to the front of the car has they are to close to the turbo piping.

Here is a pic of the turbo assembly as I removed it about a year ago, just sitting on the bench.

Since you asked, :P

I am actually busy on it but I took another detour... See below.

Many here know that I have built this car in a very cramped garage, well rebuilding it in the same setting was just not very motivating so I had to so something about it.

In Jan. I picked this up:


First lift after install:


As you could imagine, I was pretty happy with this garage transformation so I started to look at my build in a very different light. I just love working on this thing. So, my first thought was, INSTALL THE MOTOR FROM THE BOTTOM!

So suspension came out:

Re: TKat13's Mach1 Build Log

Then I got this crazy idea... clean up my engine bay the way it should be.

This picture is the inspiration for this decision:


I mean, seriously, look at that mess...

So, long story short, exactly last night; I ended up here:


angle 2


Now I have some sanding, welding and cutting and sanding and welding and sanding and sanding and sanding and paint and sanding to do.

Re: TKat13's Mach1 Build Log

Yes, it does BONESTOCK!.


So, I took more off this weekend including removing all the cruise control bits; no need for it in this car.

Here she is today and now waiting on my panels to get here, this virus thing is slowing up deliveries of non-essential stuff.



All those crates are Mach parts... yikes.



now that I am stuck waiting on parts, I guess I will start piecing the trans/motor together on the K-Member.

I finally just decided to build the mach a little better, so after this there was no turning back.


there is a ton more effort that pics show but it is coming along:
