copmagnet Posted July 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 off topic what is that windage tray and who makes it? does this work in conjunction with the factory half tray?It is the canton tray. They have two models for the 4.6, the screen (this one) and then a louver style. This one was three dollars cheaper so I saw now real advantage other then looks to get the other. It does not work with factory scraper. Geez I didn't know Eaton setups were getting that expensive. That's ridiculous. Have you considered centrifugal blowers at all?I really like the car though. It and all the new parts look really nice.my original plan was to get a d1.. Until the price of those started climbing also. Maybe it was just because of tax season.. We will see how the price are affected after MW, lots if totalled termis. and for that you might as well buy a new KB or somethingto bad KB only made the 2.1 for the mach 1, and stopped making the kit years ago. There is one floating around for 1500$ but its just the intake, intercooler and blower. Its been passed through quiet a few mach owners recently and each sells it not wanting to deal with the bullshit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

copmagnet Posted July 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 I'm about as in decisive as a 16 year old girl. The other night I was contemplating just swapping too flat top pistons, bug cams and nitrous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

copmagnet Posted July 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 I'm looking at the cheaper on3 kit. Maybe I'll go bigger in the future. But for now that kit looks like it will give me what inwnt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleeperstang1994 Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 i love the idea and the price of the on 3 performance kits. I just cant deal with the quality issues. for every 1 good story you hear there seems to be 5 bad ones. i know you can handle the modifications though!

copmagnet Posted July 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 I have been doing a lot of researching, and apparently the quality changed. People aren't really having as many issues now a days vs back when they first came out. I was talking to a guy on Facebook who said all three kits he bought all went in with little to no issues, although he said get new v bands. So. Its cheap enough I'm willing to take the risk on it.

copmagnet Posted August 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 So I have everything for my bottom end except piston rings, rod and main bearings, and oil pump bolts.. What bearings do you high HP guys use? I see people say get king, some say clevite h series, some say clevite 77's.. I'm lost.. Input would be awesome.Who file fit their own rings? Did you use a hand file in a vice or use a ring file machine?What's the running cost to clean up a head? Deck, polish cam journal? Anything else I should need done? What assembly lubes are you guys using? Where can I find low priced tensioner and timing guides? I found a complete set on eBay for a sohc for 76$ but couldn't find the secondary timing tensioner. Would it be worth it to replace the springs, valves and retainers or just reuse the stock ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

01yellercobra Posted November 1, 2014 Report Share Posted November 1, 2014 I used Federal Mogul and Clevite bearings. I went with two brands because I have Chevy rods and needed a different size. I filed my own rings. I did it all by hand. No vice. Just make sure to file them straight. Then deburr the edges with a fine file. I think I paid to have my heads gone through. That was cleaned and decked. I already had Comp springs though. I used the assembly lube from Napa. It's in a white tube. I've used it in a few builds. I use a lot of it. I haven't looked for cheap tensioners. I'm actually looking to upgrade. If you have the budget I'd upgrade the springs at least. Never know what the future holds and it's easier now then when the engine is together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

copmagnet Posted January 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 Got my motor from the machine shop today! so excited. so pretty.. so expensive. much fast, many aluminum, much forged. so doge. I have to pick up some lint free rags (apparently the blue ones from advance are not lint free) and some block paint so I can get it all leaned up and painted. My bearings have not come in to the shop yet (sadly) so I cannot start assembly today like I was planning. BUTTTTTT I'm awesome. *edit* ignore my handgun in the right corner.. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tabres Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 You wouldn't even find the pieces of my body if I did that in our house. My Dad and I put my engine together in his finished basement over the holidays last year. I mentioned the idea in passing as a joke to my Dad one afternoon because he had done it once like 35 years earlier with a 302. The next morning when I woke up he came to me and said, "Talked to your mom, she's ok with it." I had no idea he even took me seriously when I mentioned it. My Mom is a cool lady, but I'm sure there had to be some significant sweet-talking/bribing on his part for that one. If I tried to do that in my own home though, yeah, there would be a pile of fresh dirt in the backyard where my wife would have buried me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copmagnet Posted January 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 My mom was less then thrilled. especially once i started cracking mains loose of the 98 cobra motor i flipped and that wonderful burnt oil/ diff fluid smell filled the house.. she told me do what I need to do.. I mean hey, at least i put cardboard down..My GF walked into my house and saw it and said fuck no, don't get use to building shit in the house. Half my car is in my house. all i need is a transmission and I have a whole drive train in the house. I'm getting so excited to get home this weekend.

Tabres Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 I think I'd be inclined to heat the dented area and gently try to pull it back into shape with a slide hammer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackmage Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 wow was that done in shipping? or bought that way? either way what the heck hit it that hard haha. Im with the other guys, heating it up and pounding/pulling it back into shape. if you can get to that spot from the inside,(I think we're looking at the bottom of the pan here?) i bet pounding down on the bottom of the pan from inside would get it back into shape. then fill it with water and see if it leaks at the welds. i'd still run it after that for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured if he ran it with the dent I will be fine. I believe this happened on a speed bump. you're putting together a whole engine from scratch, this is childs play here I have never had to use a BFH to bend something to assemble a motor. not to put a motor into the k member..
