I am paying to have all of this done to my GT500.

[98 Saleen Cobra]

Damn.. worth a shot. It's going to be one hell of a car man. The Griggs suspension won't disappoint that's for sure.

 

[slocum1946]

No problem. When you come by we can do some further "testing" and see how you feel about your purchase lol. :lol: JFWY

Who did you tap for the install ?

lol...you'll try to compound boost my car?

personal friend who is an electro-mechanical genius when it comes to cars...I did not RFQ to anyone or I would have let you bid on it...the economy has impacted him for the worse and I'm giving him the entire project because he is capable and his family needs the money...

 

[Van@RevanRacing]

You can use it as a hood ornament for all I care.... A weight savings of 10lbs of static weight? Not worth the money.

Now unsprung weight or rotational weight is a different story.

For the sake of weight discussion every bit counts..............

In this build

Aluminum Block (100 lbs)
Braille Battery (25 lbs)
Shorties (10 lbs)
Griggs SLA Front Chassis (40 lbs)

It all adds up!

No worries. Couldn't think about it for a few months. I moved and told no one so I'd slow down. That worked, but people are finding me again. :bash: Personal friend. Awesome given the reasoning in my pm. You should be fine with a homie hook up.
PM me if you think he wants some more work after your car.

Van do you have a good shot of the k-member you can PM me ? Curious to see if it's modifiable for my kits.

He is a turbo custom fabrication specialist. He makes all of his own stuff. You two would get along famously. His name is Eric Anderson and I'll connect the two of you. Leave him alone until my car is completed

I'll leave him alone. If he can weld I will definitely have work for him !! I have a little ways to go though. Have to finish and then build the jigs. I haven't been able to find anyone who can really weld. They can certifiably put two pipes together but leave some aesthetics to be desired.
I think space is going to become a commodity at your house pretty soon huh ? lol

He is a welding master---any type of welding---function and appearance.

While I have plenty of room for all of the parts in my garages---the parts are all shipping to Eric

The K-Member is designed to work with an SLA (Short Long Arm) Suspension and will not work with the McPherson Strut System that you will most likely see or use 99.9% of the time with your kits.

Awesome. Maybe he can teach me a few things. Tell him to hurry up then lol.

...and will not work with the McPherson Strut System that you will most likely see or use 99.9% of the time with your kits.

I know, that's why I gots to modify it. :beer:

I'll see if I can find anything and shoot it over to you.

piston and balancer update:

Custom L&M/Diamond Pistons 9.5:1 Compression Ceramic Coated with Custom Valve Relief

IW 10% OD Balancer pulley (double keyed to Cobra Jet crank shaft)--and the lighter '08 balancer pulley double keyed as well

original post updated as well...

 

[stkjock]

nice, very similar to the motor L&M did for me.

guess Micheal is now using the CJ cranks for the 5.4s, I think mine was the first one he did it on, good thing I showed it to him... :banana:

same pistons your getting but in a Iron block

 

[slocum1946]

way to blaze the trail

and yes--Van and Michael mentioned the Cobra Jet crank to me right away--I was sold the minute I heard about it...

beautiful picture...thank you for showing it to me...

All build threads IMHO should start out with, "I'm paying to have all of this done to my GT500."

Classic.
