the heads are off the car, stripped down and washed in varsol.going to the head porter tomorrow.my titanium valves are at the machineist being modified to fit the 4.0l heads.the trans is coming out and going for a rebuild with performance parts.the block will be getting bored out .020" next week for the new forged pistons.

 

Can't wait to see the dyno sheet when shes all back together!

 

If it don't run 11s I can see a 100 hp shot of go baby go

 

titanium valves are finished and being shipped back to me tomorrow.the guy was real fast,he just got them yesterday.wow!

 

heads are being ported and the valves will be home on friday.i am hoping that it makes 450rwhp when all is said and done.that is my hope anyway.only time will tell.

 

If you are able to answer this what is your final goal for the rocket?

 

i would like to be the fastest/quickest 4.0l mustang with a single power adder in NORTH AMERICA! as far as i know this record is held by bob (brumby) over at the mustang collective in the states with a current time of about 11.65 with a turbo charged 4.0l in a 2007 mustang.it is a lofty goal but i always say go big or go home,lol.

 

trans is out of the car and in the back of my truck.off to strathroy on monday for the upgrades i want to do.the new converter is a 3200 stall custom made by level 10 just for my combination of parts and tune .it has a new hardened input shaft from level ten aswell gauranteed not to break even under the most severe conditions.i am getting pretty stoked about the build now.gonna be a surprise to all the unsuspecting v8 crowd for sure.

 

well after realising that my pypes headers are way too small(disgusting actually) for my application i have decided to scratch build(of course) a set of 2"od stainless headers for my motor.the pypes headers are smaller id.than the exhaust port and that will only get worse after the porting is finished and the ports are opened up for better flow.the exhaust is basicly hitting a wall when it is trying to leave the head and choking off the power.keep in mind that my motor makes in excess of 500hp and is a v6 so each cylinder bore is putting out more horsepower than a 500hp v8 is.would you put 1 3/8 id headers on a 500hp v8?no you wouldn't so why does the aftermarket not offer us a better product for the v6,even the stock motors are too powerfull to be using a small header tube like that.the stock manifolds flow just aswell if not better .so i just happen to have a set of stainless haeaders that i built way back when for my 23t altered with 440 dodge in it laying around that i am going to cut up an repurpose for my needs.also gonna use high flow cats to keep it flowing.it should really let the motor breath.afterall i have ported heads,big valves.custom intake manifold and a ported throttlebody so why leave a set of crap headers on it just cause nobody makes em better.the spirit of hotrodding is alive and well in this little pony.

 

That's a crappy deal Gary!! Maybe you should send some messages to some of these companies that make these headers, and help them out.
