Rolocut Posted October 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 ive never seen a brace like that (the tie rod looking thingy). what does that do? pardon my ignorance hahabuild looks good man, your car is soooo niceThanks man. Yeah it's more or less for extreme conditions/ renegade or mondo blowers. How is works is that it bolts to crank and blower before belts tight then you can tighten belt pretty tight with much less stress on front main crank bearings and blower bearings. These larger chargers they spin much harder and faster therefore need more belt tightening. Since I'm using a real small pulley to spin blower max efficiency maybe even further and blow off excess boost with a waste gate I figured it would be a nice addition.

ttocs Posted October 11, 2013 Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 Its fun to follow a large build like this, keep up the good work documenting it all. I Can't wait till I pull motor on mine shortly so I can smooth out the bay and clean up the motor. That was probably a clear powder on the covers that was so hard to get off. I stripped the super thick factory powder on my intake and it wasn't all that hard. Go get a can of citri-strip from walmart or a paint store. Time is the most important part too make it easy. Put on a super thick coat at night and then leave it for the morning. when I got up the powder looked like it was melting off it and then with a paint scraper and a light sand = no more powder.- - - Updated - - -also what are you doing with the rad overflow tank?

Could be. I used oven cleaner for 1.5 hours and it got some off then next day used paint stripper for 25 min and 220 and cleared most of it. I have a polished 1 quart over flow attached to my fan shroud that I have had for 3-4 years. I should prob make a custom aluminum polished one like dan because a stock fan looks a tad out of place on this car but the reliability and how well it works makes me keep it there.

Seems like a really small overflow tank but if you have run it that long I guess its good to go. I was wondering as I just finished tucking my condenser and radiator into the core support. I love the look except for how the aluminum canton overflow tank seems to stick out so badly and wondering if there is a better/prettier way to do one...

What power levels is their Level 10 rated for?Yeah I haven't moved into the inside of the car yet to start doing the rest of the mods like shifter and gauges and what not. Can't open the doors completely when on the lift so I'll wait till it's on the ground. They make a few different ones. I bought one that is bullet proof according to them to hold 1100 horse. Then after I got it I started doing more research about autos because honestly I don't know much but I know not many 5 speeds or 6 speeds will hold this power and shift well at 7500. So then I bought the man valve body with trans brake. If anyone buys an aode or 4r70w I have a brand new level ten valve body with two different chips to control it in the stock computer. And I got a level ten custom built torque converter, I bought it for 2800 stall with my old n/a set up with nitrous though since the vortech ys was a spur of the moment deal I couldn't pass up. Assuming stall will increase slightly due to the added power. Back to the trans install... Since my motor is set back one inch I had to move the center mount of the trans crossmember back an inch to line up. Then driveshaft needed to be shortened an inch. I'm going to run my steel stock one out of my car now until i find someone who will shorten an aluminum one, I have 3 aluminum driveshafts but people want almost 400 to shorten and balance aluminum and the same price to custom build me one.

One other thing I did think about for the winter was to make a custom square overflow tank about 1.5-2 quart and put it on drivers fender so it will cover up the holes from my stand alone nitrous fuel cell.

That is the trans cooler. I've never had an issue with the car running warm. The sheetmetal elbow will be done by the end of the week so I can finish up a lot of the stuff once that's done. I have a feeling I'll be waiting on a custom driveshaft to be made lol. But I'm sure I'll run into more small setbacks. I got a lot to do on the inside still, mount shifter, trans and boost gauges, clutch pedal and cable take out.
