[QUOTE="ac427cobra, post: 6797585, member: 6247"] A fellow Wisconsinite track dawg Tim owns the Bondy car. Thanks Andy. It's been a challenging project to say the least. I'm a little happier now then when I talked to you earlier. :-D Al Papitto machined the block for Mustang install and starter. 437/413 on 93 with a conservative break-in tune. We gained about 3-4 HP with every pull. Motor only has about an hour on it or less. The idle was our biggest problem due to the cams (we believe) because it kept throwing off the MAF. Of course Marv had that figured out in no time! :bowdown: Nothing. It's a perfectly good functional virgin 2000 Cobra R motor that will sit on an engine stand in my shop with a sign on it that reads: Original 2000 Cobra R motor 177 of 300 built low mileage driven by an old guy on the weekends only not for sale The pan is an Aviad piece that came with the dry sump kit. I can't tell you for sure if there's a windage tray in there or not?!?! Maybe Marv can answer that?!? Tim: We had not run all of the tank lines at picture time. I was not planning on an enclosure. Do I need one? Do you have one? Ironically enough the only oil leak we had was on the only fitting we never touched. The adjustment screw for oil pressure on the dry sump pump. Go figure. I hope to pick the car up tomorrow and start prepping it for the break in event this weekend. :thumbsup::coolman::beer: [/QUOTE]
