Got the car on my 12th b-day. Car has undergone many changes over they years. When we got it, it ran ok so we didnt touch the motor and trans at first. First we did all new interior and what trim was missing. Replaced most of the weather stripping that needed it. Drove it like that for awhile then when i was 17 blew a head gasket. Well torn the motor apart build a real nice street motor 418w stroker, ported and polished heads, 3 angle valve job, new valves, sprinks 1.7ratio. The compression ration is 10.5:1 so it get up and goes. Higher flow oil pump you know the basics for a rebuild. Holley 770DP, Victor intake, i know im missing alot of little thing. Well now they 500ish hp got boring so dad and i are building another motor for it. Teksid 4.6dohc (1997 motor) going to be fully forged turbo motor. Backed by a TH400 (i know a chevy part, hey they are cheap and strong) Build is going slow right now since im in college....
Day 1
The 418w motor
The NEWEST motor Got more picture of the tear down somewhere ill dig them up.
I know people are partial to zinc yellow, but in all seriousness, I think that's my favorite mach of all time. Looks so nasty with the black and yellow theme (no pun intended) and that motor shot is just sex. Great job.
