    FOR SALE: 2013 Shelby GT500 7231 Miles Origin al Owner

    Good question. Jim Sr. at JDM did rev the engine a few times to 7600 RPM on the dyno pulls after the proper A/F ratio was achieved. He said the rods will easily take 8500 and they rev their Super Stock engines to 8200 routinely. I put a manual shift light in the car to be able to see it and it...

    Blown Motor: Tell me everything I need to know

    I have a tremendous amount of experience with both Jim's at JDM in both shipping them and building my engine and shipping it back to me. They are great people to deal with in all phases of the build process, and after the build is finished. Call me if you want to discuss the JDM route as I know...

    Stripped exhaust manifold thread

    I would not trust the work that has been done by the first shop. Lets hit a home run the first time instead of creating a continuous problem that never gets fixed and takes the joy out of your new headers. I would do the following: 1. Support the engine and drop the K-Member sub frame from the...

    J You the man. I agree with everything you said. Get these built engine cars into 4th gear ASAP and let them pull like a freight train.

    Built engine time.

    No more power but I'm on the stock fuel system pumps and we had 12* of timing and we were at 11.80 A/F ratio and did not want to go any further. Outside temp was 36* so very good D/A. Jim Sr. has got so much experience with these engines and fuel management systems that when he said we could not...

    Built engine time.

    Mine went 13 pulls on JDM's dyno at 7600. One pull was at 8,000 to find the rev limiter. FYI

    Built engine time.

    I just took my timing cover off in November to inspect my 10mm timing components with 3700 miles and 6 years of service from my JDM build. Everything looked almost new with no wear noticed on any of the components. FYI this should put to bed your concerns for wear on the drivetrain/cam related...

    14 GT500 Value question

    No crystal ball here but if I found the car I wanted and it has less than 1K miles, I would have to buy the car for $62K. You are essentially getting a brand new car 8 years later. Does it have any mods-unlikely with the mileage. I don't know how many 1K mileage cars are out there, but mine has...

    Built engine time.

    This is exactly the same bottom end JDM put in my engine. Notice no main studs due to their experience with new stock bolts being able to withstand 1400HP maximum without incident on their Super Stock cars. Also no head studs are used as their belief is that it is much cheaper if you have a head...

    Built engine time.

    To sleeve you existing block is about $3K To buy a new block is about $5K My engine had 3K miles on it when I took it to JDM and did not require sleeving the block due to limited wear. If you can get rings for the stock pistons (Not available in 2015) you might be able to reuse your old Mahle...

    Trinity article about motors blowing up

    You cannot go wrong with JDM. Who else gives you a years warranty on a built engine as long as you not detonate it? Almost six year's later after the build I have not touched a wrench on my car other than to change plugs and oil. JDM all the way.

    2014 GT 500 Catastrophic Engine Failure: Next Steps? Thoughts?

    J Your the man. Thanks for the kind words. To be honest I have not touched the Shelby since 2015 after I finished the car. I know there are solutions out there for traction but as you stated, not on 20" tires. Thanks for the tip. However, I did purchase a new Demon and have been fooling around...

    2014 GT 500 Catastrophic Engine Failure: Next Steps? Thoughts?

    I agree with these comments. I have 806 RWHP from my JDM built motor and it is impossible to hook up with 20" drag radials. Now, let's put some 15" Sticky Mickeys on this car and now we have something that will hook up on the track. But our current 8.8" rear end won't handle the additional...

    building the bottom end

    I personally had JDM design, build, and tune on site my entire engine package. I removed and re installed the engine and broke it in. Jim promised me 800 RWHP before the build, Dyno'd 806 RWHP at 7600 RPM. You can see my car on the dyno on their web site. Five years later the car gets 19.5mpg...

    Post most recent pics of your '13-14 GT500

    Kel The car still looks great. Glad to see they are still letting you folks have the car show near Aldi's. I still have my Shelby and bought a Demon a few weeks ago as I really like their rareness. Two completely different vehicles. Both are fun! Dale Baker
