Very nice project. A 9 sec 03 Mach will be legendary.

 

x2 ftw

 

Thanks gents! I will be taking it out on the street today for the first time since Oct 2007. I feel like a little kid trying to sleep on Christmas eve!

 

Careful, don't get yourself in trouble out there!!!


cheers

How did it go??????

 

I drove it easy for a short run and man, it's a whole different beast! The power, sound & reving ability of this motor N/A is awesome.

I'm going to have to play with the manual proportioning valve. It needs to be adjusted to find the right braking ratio to the front radial skinnies. Shifting a face plated TKO will take some time to learn. Also, the 6" cowl extended lift off hood is another experience for my right side line of sight.

It's going on the dyno this weekend to get tuned on the 104 octane fuel I just got in a 55 gal drum. Hope to have some dyno numbers N/A.. I'm not messing with the nitrous until the motor has a few hundred miles on it and all checks good.

 

Whucha runnin for brakes on that bad boy?

 

I have modified Aerospace drag rotors/aluminum calipers on all 4 cornors, with stainless braded lines. Eliminated the hydroboost pump steering & brakes, all manual. Strange manual master cylinder that is offset, makes removing drivers side cam cover easy. And a Wilwood manul proportioning valve and modified brake pedal lever for more brake push leverage.

Racecraft chromoly manual steering shaft kit and flamming river manual rack with Racecraft custom tie rod ends with bump & steer kit.

 

Sweet brake system! I like ur steerin shaft, I have the FR manual rack also, does this shaft make the steerin feel any different, looks like more clearance around the headers

 

Thanks! The Racecraft sterring shaft gives a lot of header clearance. I have Kooks step headers that start as 5/8" primaries and open up to 3/4" primaries. Plenty of room next to the steering shaft with 3/4" diameter tubes next to it. The steering kit had to be mocked up with the driver header installed, then cut to the length to get this clearance. The shafts come extra long.

It's not to bad turning fast with the skinnies up front. I would not want to try it with factory size tires up front.
