Looking good Erik! :rockon:
It's gonna be a handful I assure you. :thumbsup:

yep, bigger bore, ported heads, cams, i am very curious to see what that 3.2 upper only does boost wise
should be fun, hope 121 raceway is wide open for us :rockon:
Very Nice Erik!
Subscribing to see what the motor makes. I have a 5.0 stroker left over from another project that has nice CP pistons and 10.5:1 comp. I have been thinking about putting it in my cobra and letting the 2.3 eat some E-85...
Oh man this is gonna be awesome as usual Erik. Your attention to detail never ceases to amaze me. I'll be ordering a Whipple 2.9 this coming week :banana: I might have some questions for you :beer:
I think we need an update!
Thanks man!
well, per Tymensky last Thursday, we are still waiting for his custom cams to show up.
He expects cams to come in around Sept 7th. If thats the case, he will be shipping the following week. So as of now tentative date on me receiving the engine is Sept 15th - 20th.
Not much to update, just playing the waiting game

^^ I hate the waiting game lol!! But it'll be worth it. I can't wait to see it all finished up.
im used to the waiting now.......it will be right when i get it, so patience is key. my estimated 1st fire up date WAS oct 1st.....but it might slip to end of october now. really no big deal though, with some recent health problems and the way work has been killing my weekends, I havent had time to do much to the car besides let it gather dust.
Yeah. That and the 100 other small projects you have been working on. There is so much custom shit on the car it is silly! It will be hard to capture it all. We need to start taking some good photos of the progress and post it up.
I might catch a cowboys game this year at that fancy stadium, maybe if I do I can come by and check this bad boy out
i agree....bring that camera over! I do tend to multitask project wise....ive often thought about sitting down and recording everything I've done....might take me a few days, and I'm sure I'll still miss something. I will leave the photos up to you bro....my camera skills leave alot to be desired.
sure bro.....PM me and we can catch up. :beer:
here are some pics!
- showing the lower intake manifold hard coat black anodized.
- modified intercooler manifold so hose doesnt get pinched under the 2.9 whipple case
- upgraded to the VMP 100mm MAF housing with 05+ MAF sensor upgrade. This is supposed to be a much better MAF sensor.....with better signal quality as well as extended MAF range. This housing comes gunmetal anodized, i stripped it and had it hard coated as well!
- also had my whippl inlet clearanced to give some more space between the top of fuel rail. my whipple inlet sat right on top of the fuel rail

What a cool roommate to have! Sweet blower you have there, I like the custom things you've done to it.
Update from Tymensky just received:
Cams are being cut, will be on the truck this Friday (Bullet cams in MS). More pics coming to me tonight.....stay tuned! Will post em up.
Gotta order some parts that he needs from Tousley tomorrow, oil pump pick up tube, random bolts, rear main seal retainer, etc etc.....basically all the odds and ends I sold with my aluminator shortblock.
Getting closer boyzzzzzzzz :rockon:

What size cams did bullet spec out for you? I have their cams also. Just wondering
not my specs, they are custom cut for my application to John Tymensky's specs. I do know its a .484 lift cam though
:bowdown:Gonna be a monster!
Sounds good Erik.
Was out putting Frodo back together. Will chat later.
