ya think they would listen? i don't speak chineese jay,lol.

 

i'm having the flanges for my headers water jet cut out of 1/2" stainless steel.heads should be done in a couple of weeks aswell.pistons get fitted late this week or early next week.

 

just got a call from the trans shop and it isn't good news.the trans is totally shot.both the forward and direct drums are welded together and all the clutches and steels/pressure plates are shot all to hell.time for a complete rebuild .not cheap.

 

time for a little update,the header flanges are finished and turned out beautifully.the trans is awaiting arrival of a rebuild kit from level 10 in new jersey with the best parts available for this trans,i have made a trans dipstick for it seeing as how ford never thought it was important,lol.i found a nice set of 3into1 header collectors for the build at cone engineering in california made of 304 stainless.block gets bored next week and the rotating assembly gets balanced before reassembly.heads are being ported n polished and titanium valves installed.

 

well the rebuid kit from level 10 showed up today for the trans and i bead blasted the heads in preperation for the new valve job and final porting tweaks.hope to have it back together by august 15th.

 

Awesome to hear Gary. Too bad it couldn't go together sooner! Most of the summer will have passed.

 

yea your right.most of the hot power robbing summer will have passed,lol.i ain't missin it.i love the rebuild/modification stuff.it was just too stock for me.now it will haul *** jay.11's or bust! oh wait i already did that,lol the bust part at least.

 

You do have a point LOL!!.... On both counts LMAO!!
