    Cleaned up the K-member, looks alot better than it did before. New motor mounts installed. Didn't know the steering rack is silver lol



    Went ahead and yanked out the engine spaghetti



    Painted the engine supports red. +50 HP



    Broken cam thrust plate, apparently it took the thrusting of its life.



    Its ok for my tooling, but it will eventually need replaced.

      Tickled to hear this; did my trans cross member in red just for fun several months back -- so I'm thinking that has got to be 75 hp at least!

          that must mean that the black stripe I painted on the Mustangs hood is worth somewhere between 50 and 75 ponies! sweet, I thought the butt dyno showed more peak hp!
          If you can leave two black stripes from the exit of one corner to the braking zone of the next, you have enough horsepower. - Mark Donohue

                I've never heard of ####ing heads, those must be unobtainium heads.... of course, as unobtainium, I'm sure they'll give you all the hp of a stock viper (which, of course, you have two of )

                    I heard Larry Larson (Drag week winner, multiple years) is relieved you're not putting a funny car cage in your car - he said he'd have to drop out because he just couldn't compete against that kind of hp... said he was fine with racing you until you painted your motor mounts red.

                      you have to space the f*o*o*k*ing heads, cuz this is a PG forum. lol.

                      It's neat to see a couple of hard hitting V6's on here. Your's is the second bird I guess? SBG's Fiat is almost done, then he got gold chain fever and all I hear about is this damn satin shirt double knit polyester leisure suit wearing Vette of his any more. Haha.

                      Gary Hart has a badass inliner, Pete300 has a neat one, and I think it's EFI-DIY that has an Atlas (GM) turbo'd shitless like Gary's is. Randal has a couple of OHC's that I'm waiting on the fall to see go together. Several neat projects in all.

                      I've been grousing for a while cuz Bob Holmes had a 3.7 out of a new Mustang and I want to put one in an older fox for a DD but wouldn't afford it. I'd think an all aluminum mill behind the front axle line in a Fox would be neat with an IRS and some SN95 bits to make it handle a little better.

                      Anyway, hope your fooking heads get here quick. I actually thought about snagging a 3.8 out of a camaro-bird for something small, those still seem like big girls to me. Not that I have anything against big girls or anything. It's well known I like big butts. hah. Yeah, so keep us posted.

                        Remind me again, what are you working on? it's been so long since your woman made you clean out the garage and called the land use folks on you.... I figured by now she'd have let you take off that skirt, pull the pink shades, and start working on something again I guess I was wrong? Heck, you didn't even help out Gail with hello kitty stickers - sigh, you used to be cool

                          LastCallKilllt probably has not seen the Fiat.

                            or Skid Mark

                            seriously, though, I was tired of fab work - I do a bit of bolt on, paint a car, make it go... and I'm all good to finish the fab work then start that thing we all enjoy the most - wiring
