Haven't made much progress lately because I've been alittle under the weather. But here is where we're at...

- Just got word from ETP that the LS7 heads will be done monday and Kurt is going to pick them up for the o-ring work monday night, We switched over to titanium/inconel valves and a solid roller valvetrain.

- Jesel just completed the replacement set of LS7/J2K rockers and they are on the way

- C & R called and the radiator is done, they are waiting on the Extreme 3000cfm fan, will ship today one way or another

- Metal express sent out the parts to finish my fuel tank/water cell mounts(1" tubing) and the aluminum sheetmetal to fabricate the turbo inlet.

- Global Technology sent:
9' of 5" aluminum Tubing for the exhaust
2' of 6" tubing for the turbo inlet
4 90' SS elbows for the radiator pipes
2 90 AL elbows for the water cell, IC outlet, and Y block

Wolfe Racecraft just sent
2 - 4" aluminum o-ringed V-band clamps

Still need to order:
Back brace for rear
-12 fuel feed lines and fittings
-10 fuel return lines and fittings
Misc fittings for fuel pressure regulator
16 volt battery

Motor is done @ the machine shop, all we're waiting on now is the heads to o-ring the block and the studs to retap the head studs.

Everyone I talked to said that they were the best lifters except for the Jesel and my budget doesn't allow for the jesel.

Thumbs up

Today was tough and long, worked most of the day on my buddies 10 point cage in his talon while he worked on the stang. We got a handful of little projects started and moving in the right direction. Hopefully his car should have one more day of work than I can get this project moving. So far I'm happy and really looking for the final product, should be a completely stupid street car.
Couple shots of the radiator

Insanity coming together..

Passenger Side motor:


Plug access once upper IC pipes is removed, will be on o-ringed v-band clamps


Side shot: Upper intercooler pipe v-band

3000hp intercooler tucked under dash


Coupe minutes in my dads wood shop to make the beginning of my radiused aluminum turbo inlet hat, using 6" aluminum tubing and some aluminum sheet metal to make the inlet.

Threw together the upper IC pipes, they are done except for beading the ends.

Yeah, if you saw it you would probably call "BS" on what I paid for most of my stuff. Its really not as high as most would expect. I've gotten deals on almost 100% of the parts I have gotten. My old corvette motor, wheels/tires, nitrous and misc paid for most of the stuff.

Phil, this is Dale, Mark Koch's friend. Are those UPR c/c plates steel or aluminum? This probably won't matter to you but I had a set of the steel ones for no less than a day and accidently hit a small curb at speed. It bent the main plate a good half inch out of straight and the c-clip holding in the spherical bearing came dangerously close to popping out. I'm guessing this is because the shock bottomed out, but just giving you a heads up. Maximum motorsports has the best suspension parts out there for mustangs.

So yeah, this build up is completely sick. Your fab skills are nuts. If you have the time, how much would you charge for a simple 4 pt. roll bar in my mustang?


Quick Reply: So here's the game plan 00 Mustang + LSx + huge turbo :)
