    Zinc Yellow Terminator being saved from the crusher.

    Well, two days of wrenching down, taking a day for my wife and I to go to DFW while we're waiting on some parts to show up. (Trans cooler lines were pretty rough.) I have a LOT more respect for engine builders and intake porters after seeing some of the stuff that they have to do for the...

    Zinc Yellow Terminator being saved from the crusher.

    Current builder is nearing completion of my engine! Told me he found some stuff he wasn't happy to see on an engine with the 250 miles I had before it let go. Not saying I got a bad engine build last go around, but there were some things that needed addressing that got looked over. T-time two...

    Who's from Iowa?

    Ironically, were placing an order on an outer banks here soon. Wife has been drooling since the bronco dropped. Now we are in the position to get one.

    Zinc Yellow Terminator being saved from the crusher.

    Well, some minor changes in the build plans. The fox lake heads are no longer happening. Guy that's putting things together for me had like 3 sets of 4 thread heads he fixed in a month and asked if I was offended by switching to a set of 9 threads. Noting there are A LOT of stock port 03+ C...

    Don't ever sell your Terminator..... you will just buy another one

    Seeing this gets me excited to get mine done... I need to get my 2.2 up to Jon Bond and have it fixed... Also, reading through all of this, I'm glad I've been afforded the luxury of owning the cars I do. Every one of your responses and inside thoughts on these makes me glad for not parting...

    Power / Starter Harness diagram & locations

    any photos? if its the wire I'm thinking of, there should be a plug that runs to the fuse box for a ground. If needed, I can grab a photo from my wife's 99 to aid you.

    If you ever feel adventurous about car repair....

    The 6.7s are simple. The back 8 bolts below the cowl can suck, but otherwise not too horrid. Turbo jobs on those are not fun cab on.

    If you ever feel adventurous about car repair....

    Sitting here reading all these comments about shitty jobs. I'm sitting here going, "man these poor guys would die working on a Duramax." LML duramaxes are NOT fun to do turbos on. Or EGR bypass valves. I'm having flashbacks typing this...

    _Lariats 97 Cobra build.

    I'm beside myself at the moment. Been looking for the appropriate 95-98 (yes I said 95, not 94) gel SVT badge for some time now. I FINALLY came across one, not one of those incorrect Daniel Carpenter repros. Getting some bonus stuff with them too! Anyone need a Bullitt badge?

    Block, crank, and rods are on their way to Texas as we speak. I'll be heading south last week of March. Excited to make a mini workcation out of it!

    Zinc Yellow Terminator being saved from the crusher.

    Well, tentatively I have a new engine build lined up for a really good deal. CNC Fox lake heads, 9.5:1 comp DSS pistons, reuse my block, crank, and rods. The one kicker.... I gotta drive to Texas to help the guy on his powerstroke. :cool: Very well known builder in the modular world with...

    Aside from the one that was tore up with shit bashing around, all straps are accounted for, and everything looks good.

    Zinc Yellow Terminator being saved from the crusher.

    Pulled the blower back off the turkey pan for inspection. I'm at a loss on how anything got into this thing. Rotated the cams through and inspected all seats throughout this thing. All seats are in tact and happy Best I can determine is it was a cam gear key. Compared damage with a spare key...

    I've got a lead on some fox lake ported heads... so that's a bonus at the end of this I suppose.

    Zinc Yellow Terminator being saved from the crusher.

    Oh, I forgot. I was noticing an oil leak from the front. Hoping the throw out bearing collar didn't kill the thrust on the crank.

    Zinc Yellow Terminator being saved from the crusher.

    Pulled heads off tonight. Looks like I'm starting over... again... may try grabbing a spare block I have and have it cut to the bore of these pistons with 2 replacements. The damage looks like it was something that was ingested. All my seats are in place. I'm beside myself. I didnt see...

    While they are an option, they only sell complete front, or front/rear sets. I had a Bullitt seat that just needed a passenger upper cover and they wouldn't sell an individual part.

    A good upholstery shop can have those fixed for cheaper than a replacement.

    Run base or GT seats until it's mobile. If you come across a screaming deal on seats grab them then.
