Sonicblu0311, I love what you did with it. Your build looks pretty sweet. I'm glad I sold it to someone that had a build plan and followed through with it. Hope to see it again someday. Maybe at Mustang week or something like that.

Keep up the good work! I'm glad everything is starting to work out for you!!

TaraFirma, thank you so much, i have debated often messaging you to show you whats happened with the car, glad to see that now you can check in and that you like the progress... its definitely much faster now than the day i bought it but now it should be a real rocket ship!!!!

Garrett, thanks man, i really appreciate it!

so, its here!

also have a whole box of stuff like with the oil cooler and relay kit and all those good things... so excited!

Awesome, I picked up my auto sunday and have to gather a few small parts before I can get it in the car. Ive been following your build. Good luck with the rest of it

 

[Sonicblu0311]

Thanks itSSlow, yea my girlfriend bought me my shifter for christmas, getting a B&M Pro Stick! excited! have a great GF who supports my addiction!

I ordered the same plates and they arrived monday. Now I just have to get the trans in the car to see how it all looks lol.

 

[Eatonualive281]

so how much does the car weigh now? its it still an iron block?

 

[Sonicblu0311]

It was around 2950 with the 6spd and original twin kit... id like to try and keep it below 3100 or 3200 with the auto. Luckily weight should change to much by going from the t56 to the 4r75, the weight difference between the 2 is minimal and my small converter isnt much heavier than the clutch.

Subbing for numbers! Any new info??

 

[Sonicblu0311]

only progress, i picked up tires, injectors, wastegates, and a couple little things.... the trans i got didnt have an index plate so im waiting on one but they are on back order everywhere. Joe will be starting my twin kit in february, and im basically just waiting on money so i can start piecing together all the little things like an alternator, crossover, pusher fans, and all the other little things that will make the cost of this build sky rocket lol

Where did you get the shifter location kit? I want that for my 4R70W. My new 5.4 goes in next week.

 

[Sonicblu0311]

Got it from a guy named Bubba silvis but i think he only has one left and said he wont be making more for a while, find him on fb quick before its gone

 

[Sonicblu0311]

Just realized I haven't been on here or updated in forever. Decided while im saving money for more parts I would clean up the engine bay and make the car look a little nicer.

also while the engine is out, I cleaned it up a bit.

Aside from this stuff, I have also decided to pick up a turbo kit from Adrian, his car is the one on 1320 videos. I also sold my budget returnless fuel system for a new one and got much bigger injectors then I originally planned to run since I decided I want to run E85.

New parts:
DivX fuel hat with twin 450LPH pumps
-10 feed
-8 return
Aeromotive FPR
Sullivan fuel rails
Bosch 160# fuel injectors
CG Fab Stainless steel headers
custom stainless hot and cold side
Acceleronics Versafueler injector driver

more parts to come as funds start to roll in....

This car should be KILLER when done!

 

[SecondhandSnake]

Saw the thread and came in here to see if there was an update. Nope.

 

[Sonicblu0311]

sorry everyone, between school and work and 2 deaths in the family i have had zero time to work on this thing. i ran into a few problems, the header on the passenger side was hitting the frame rail, causing the engine to sit canted in the k-member. so.... solution, i notched the frame, figured hell, its just a car, cut it up! haha.

mocked up the turbo kit, have a few holes to cut in the inner fenders still.
