Finished up most of the install...seems as though my drill went AWOL so i have to go out and grab one to finish up the install, but you get the jist of what it looks like from these pic's. I must admit..the powdercoating really makes these boxes look 100% better.
Started to assemble the MMR shortblock today after the tare down of my stocker.So far i got
water pump and fitting
Rear main cover on
oil pump housing on/MMR cryo'd gears,high pressure housing
oil pump pickup on
oil pan on/MMR 7QT
oil filter/coolant housing
all the head studs in...
Cylinders 1,2,7,8. All the rod bearing's were toast just as i suspected...the crank journal on # 7 is FUBAR......all the pistons and rods looked perfect..some scuffing on the teflon on the pistons but nothing to warrant a hurt motor at all.
here's the pic's
For those of you that don't know i developed a rod knock in my motor and decided to do a built MMR 900 SB. Started tonight at 7:30 ish and ended @ 12am ish. I have a trip to LI NY tom. for my updated cylinder heads and the assembly of the motor will begin tommorrow night. There were no visible...
Here's the final product coupled with my new FR500 rims.....I am finally done with the mods i wanted to do before we start the motor build tommorrow night..nothing like last minute. Site i got them from was www.rotorpros.com
Enjoy
Chrome FR500's 17x9 up front with Kuhmo ecsta's 275/40 and 17x10.5's out back with Sumitomo HTRZ's 315/35's....Car is lowered with H&R ss's with MM poly iso's all the way around.
They are the lowest price 315's available at $110 a piece. I always use BGF drag radials but i want a nice street tire with descent wear for the next few months seeing i will be doing no racing whatsoever while i break in the new motor. Let me know if anyone has had any expierience good or bad...
Did a search and came up empty...if anyone got this setup let me know..i just bought a set and i'm curious to see if they are going to look as good as i think.

Guys were nice as hell, walked me through all the options and goodies available...SB is good for 900hp which i will more than likely never see unless a turbo gets bolted on but it's great for piece of mind. Got the ARP mainstuds and head bolt option for added security...anyone ever deal with...
He just turned 7 months the other day...we found out he loves to play in our spare bedroom in our laundry when were not home..caught him red handed yesterday..lol...he learned how to unlock his cage. :bash:
This is pure insanity...this is the crap i end up doing while the cars down..anyhow,i think it came out good...dont mind the dirtyness of the car,she doesnt get a bath til shes running again....rules are rules :-). I painted over the COBRA lettering then sanded it down once it dried...
Literally took me 3 hours to do this crap and it still needs some minor touch up on some of the fins...took my time taped everything.I sanded down the blower fins before i painted it.Sanded with a sanding block and then smoothed it out with a 600 grit for the polished fin look,then taped it...
