**I know it's not a '13/'14 but figured maybe some of this could provide info/insight for those doing similar stuff lol**
Hey guys,
Been a long while since I've posted since I've been sticking to the FB pages and forums lately lol (I may know a few of you guys off there, my name is Chris Whipple) but I wanted to get this thread finally started now that the car is going under the knife for this build over the next couple months. Hopefully for any contemplating or wanting to do something similar this thread may be able to offer some feedback and answer some Q's, as I've used previous builds and threads to get me here lol. I've posted pics of the car currently as well as the parts I have currently, and I will add more as I get them of the assoc parts and shop work as it comes in...
So to start, the build will consist of:
*Engine*
1) 4.0 Whipple w/ 4" upper (to start with, also have a 3.5" and 3.75")
2) JLT 155mm CF CAI
3) Whipple Eliptical TB
4) KB BIGUN Intercooler
5) Slawko ported heads/intake manifold
6) JDM Super Stock cams w/ PAC 4V springs and Crower chromoly retainers
7) Bryant Racing billet crankshaft
8) ATI 10% OD Balancer
9) Cloyes CJ Timing set (larger chains/gears)
10) Accufab billet secondary chains (upgrade over those in the cloyes kit)
11) Accufab billet chain tensioners and MPR guides (including a proper pass. tensioner); had Accufab guides but decided on the MPRs for the whole set.
12) TSS oil pump gears
13) Thump R belt tensioner
14) 90mm idler
15) BPS Alternator OD pulley
16) ARP head studs/Main studs
17) Sleeved OE alloy block
18) Manley forged I-beams
19) Manley 3.7" coated pistons for a 9.5:1 c/r
20) ARH 2" primary long tubes w/ 3.5" collectors
21) C&R Comp Series dual 11" fan H/E
22) I/C pump upgrade
23) Moroso "the Tank" unit
24) Meziere 55gpm IC pump
25) Peterson fluid sys oil tank for crankcase ventilation (pcv delete)
*Fuel System*
1) Fore level 4 return-style fuel sys, -10 feed/-8 return
2) 3x 465lph staged pumps; 1 primary, the other two activate off a 2psi hobbs switch
3) Fore rails
4) Fore regulator
5) Fore Controller
5) ID1300s
6) TechAFX black ptfe fuel line
*Drivetrain*
1) McLeod 1400hp RXT w/ flywheel (going light steel)
2) DSS Aluminum driveshaft w/ loop
3) Liberty Gears built T56 Magnum XL w/ MGW shifter
4) 3.73 OE gears
5) Eaton True-Trac 33-spline differential
6) Moser 33-spline axles
7) Moser 9" big-bearing ends w/ welded axle tubes
*Suspension*
1) BMR large spherical bearing UCA
2) MM Extreme spherical bearing LCAs
3) BMR LCA Relo Brackets
4) BMR adj. panhard rod w/ relo bracket
5) BMR anti-roll bar
6) BMR sway bar relo brackets
7) FRPP adj. shocks/struts
8) BMR GT500 front drag springs
9) FRPP CJ rear drag springs
For the build, Maximum Velocity Performance in San Antonio, TX, will receive the engine and trans and then reinstall it. Tuning will be done via Lund. The build will be done by Jeremiah Hussey @ Modular Performance Solutions in NC. HUGE thanks to Jared Rosen from Lethal, Van from Revan Racing, Dustin Whipple, Justin Fore, John Mihovetz, and MANY MANY others lol I'll put up the pics and update as it goes!!
