Thread: The Beast ***56K warning***

well I took some krylon spray paint, and put like 5 coats on it, and it turns out that it is much more scratch resistant than the Cheapo paint I used the first time

But just tell me when, and im Game to come help... yours is faster anyway.

no work done today, except that I found my GPR relay spare that I had replaced when it was not bad out of my tool box in my truck, and also charged the battery. Now i get to change into my Tux, and wont beable to do a thing til I leave...

Thanks Matt,,, I have been running into one problem after another,, should have the short block back this week, but my heads are fu....ed, so I have to see if they can be saved. Pretty soon she will be running. Lee

I wired up my gauges today.... not much i could do... did not get home til 5:30 this morning and have just been loungeing around all day... Tommorow I hope to get the relay for my nitrous/transbrake wiring and be all set with wiring. Then I can put the seat back in and not have to worry about a damn thing but the fuel system, engine, and tranny...

Fuel System was started...But I need a few more fittings. Did Test it and it does not leak, and it pumps the fuel pretty damn fast.... (made a mess everywhere)... Its kinda wierd though, after the fuel pump has been shut off, fuel still would come out of the OUTPUT line as a dribble. I think the regulator will take care of that.

Jeff is going to make an Airbag Delete for the passenger side, and then mount my Window switch in the center of it.

And here is the nitrous put together now...

Just have to wire up the trans brake and nitrous, which I got all the parts for now, so ill try and do that tommorow.

My engine's Pistons should be here tommorow, and I pick up the tranny tommorow! I am really getting excited with this car... looks like were about two weeks from completion.
I plugged my fan in to make sure it worked, and sure enough it worked! So all that is left is the nitrous/transbrake.

Also going to try and get the brake lines for the line lock finished. Anybody know where I can get steel line and a double flare tool? I figured out that I have all the fittings I need right at work..

Go to CarQuest, they have the brake line in whatever length you need, and I have a bender if you need to borrow. They also have adapter fittings to go from the Ford wierdo flares to the standard double flare.

I probably missed it and too lazy to look, where are you getting the machine work done at?

Mike Pizel is doing all the work on the block... Pistons showed up today.

Got a little work done on the POS today... Just was not my day to work on the car though, nothing went right. Jeff did make the panel look nice though.

Im hoping I can go and get a -8 AN line from on track that is about a foot long to tie in where my fuel line comes in and where it needs to go to the regulator...

2 90º elbows should work on that.

Now i just hope the AN to the normal Flare 1/2 fitting will hold the pressure that the pump is going to make. Because the Pump to the Regulator will be pretty good on pressure...

I am leaving now to pick up the tranny from Trey's, so It will be nice to have that back atleast, and We can start mocking up where That will mount.

Tranny is here!!! Thanks So much Trey.




oh and finished up the MSD Window switch install



and I got my -8AN line from on track and put the fittings on. Had to move my regulator, and I may move it yet one more time depending on how easily I can get the passenger side fittings on it.




But here is how she sits now! Tonight I will wire up the Transbrake/ nitrous kit and see if it works.

Ordering the MAC 351W Swap headers today along with the heads. she is starting to get there. Talk to Mike about my Cam selection tommorow and will order that tommrow as well! Im getting excited!

It looks like the braided line might sit too close to the headers when you get the engine in.

Man for your age you've got some skills

Looks awesome!
