I wish that was completely true. Car is kinda old and beat up, the 180,000 miles on the car have not been all that kind, but I am trying to make it better, which is one of the reasons I pulled the motor. CLEANING TIME!!! Zen, the Z. Just image a V with the bottom of the V toward the front...

here are the headers. I am not sure how they will work on the drivers side with the power steering. Maybe the 4.6 would be better, but they are $70 m ore than the 5.0. Now that I think of it, since the 4.6 is OHV the heads will be larger presenting more of a problem with steering, so the...

here is my tranny jig I also started flowtesting my manifold. It actually does a TON better than I thought it would. I am still going to baffle it. I think a V shaped baffle would work best. I tried just a flat piece to re-direct air to the back. It helped a little, but not enough. The...

They don't. I was going to modify them. What I found is that you basically have to cut every single runner. The runners actually fit within the frame rails, but the collector is up way too high. So change of plans. I am going to get a set of BBK ford 5.0 mustang equal length headers and...

what size is your turbo? If you plan on the 600rwhp range and a 6200rpm limit, you are going to need a big turbo. Too small and the boost will have to be too high to overcome the amount of air the engine can swallow. This will cause the turbo to become less and less effecient. I suggest no...

cams and stock ECU. upgrade both of those, and you got a HP monster. It is also much harder to turbo a v8 than it is an I6.

with boost, you will make power past 6200rpm.

here ya go. I will also might get a snout mounted pulley as well. I plan on running a smaller pulley, which may slip. The snout mounted would wrap the belt around close 90% of the surface, if not more.

A slight setback on getting this running. Found out that a transmission that I thought was ok(loose bolt in shifter fork), actually had a busted thrust washer. Pretty easy to tell. If there is ANY play in 1st gear(actually grabbing the gear with your hand), then your thrust washer is probably...

although my motor is a little dirtier...

question, why on earth would you want to keep it under 6200rpm? You are going to have a hard time making that kind of HP with a 6200rpm limit. These motors can EASILY handle 7500rpm, I would set that at your limit. A few things required.... cams boost fuel ecu With these 4...

problem with that is the rest of the pulleys need to be upped to 8 rib

haha, got bellhousings on the brain. FLYWHEEL!

Autronic, you did not read my posts very well and just kind of jumped in. If you did you would know that I stated several times over that cast is NOT as good as billet. I know all about the makeup and the process of cast vs billet. My argument is that my MODIFIED cast bellhousing has not lost...

Q45 probably a little easier than stock. Q45 is due to external dimensions is also probably a little easier as well to fit. I already had a Q45 flange so I just had to weld it up. Since I am using an AEM, I just use the factory Q45 TPS, ans whalla 90mm's of intake.

The input shafts are interchangeable. I have had to do this for truck swaps, and turbo vs/non-turbo setups. You will also have to change the pump as well.

btw, here is one of my MODIFIED flywheels. Doesn't look any different that a factory flywheel does it.

Hmm, interesting. Almost all the vids I could find on youtube of flywheels exploding have one thing in common. ROTARY MOTOR!!!! HMMMM, could 12,000RPM and factory cast have something to do with that? Or are they all running MODIFIED flywheels?

So I guess manufacturers have no commen sense either since they do the exact same thing.

Also if you can't tell, I have swapped out the stock TB for a Q45. I have also relocated the outlet for the upper water hose
