Rocket, we appreciate you sticking with us. Each post helps ALOT in understnding what the heck goes on. You are kind of taking on a teaching roll, and there are a lot of concepts to wrap our heads around. Just the simple statement of moving the IATS sensor for a true reading, and why is...

Isn't Rocket saying that having the air entering the motor at the same temperature the IAT is reading ideal? Love the intercooler. A 12v pump, radiator, and you are away to the races.

Nice job! I love to see the planning that went in to this. It looks like things went pretty smooth. You now have one of the very few v8 sports out there. Nice solid drive train.....Beautiful!!!

how did you make out on this? ive never had my oil pan off, so im curious.

hopefully this summer ill get my meter on the different wires and see what the different wires are doing on my 2nd gen over a beer or two. maybe someone with a gen 3 can do the same. This would be a great mod to sort out.

I don't think anyone has ever questioned RPCasters quality of work. I was just looking at pictures of the mount also.

Rocket, Thanks for the info, as always. I appreciate the time you spend helping out. I'll have a closer look at my M90 when it gets a bit warmer in the garage. It's a bit nipply outside right now. Also, I'll order my mount soon so I can look at port matching. Also, I'm looking forward to...

http://rivperformance.editboard.com/t4758p15-porting-polishing-gen-iii-blower Scroll down a bit for pictures of the P&P. Is this the methodology your following? Was it much effort to split the case to do the P&P?

Thanks. The only standard is: There is no standard

Thanks JD. I thought the two M90's were pretty much the same. I'll order for myself.

doesn't the top gasket become the bottom for what we are doing? I say this, and (Correct me if I'm wrong) thought it would be the gasket between the m90 and the mount to the lower intake.

You going to use an M90 top gasket? http://www.ebay.ca/itm/THUNDERBIRD-EATON-M90-SUPERCHARGER-TEFLON-TOP-GASKET-/270708447505?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3f077b1911 Just curious. It looks like it might clean up the install a bit.

That's all good news. Loosing a bit of coolant every few months wouldn't cause a huge issue in the oil. Back to.....I don't know what could be causing the stumbling, and stalling then. There are enough differences from the OHV (What I have) to SOHC that I cant really even guess.

Don't worry about the neighbor, he has no clue. Great to see you are spending the time and doing everything nicely, rather than doing a quick and dirty hack job. You could have just hacked it up, and been done in no time. I don't think Evil would treat you very well after that though.

Torque in sequence. If the heads are going back on, torque heads, and lower intake bit by bit in sequence. Manual says to, and its always better to be safe. If your not pulling heads, and only lower intake, no choice. Have to just do lower intake using sequence of bolt tightening suggested...

My lower intake sat a bit high as soon as I used the Felpro gaskets. Id sure love to figure out how much is safe to shave off the sides of my lower intake, but shave to much and you have BIG trouble. Geometry isn't my strong suit. Id think shaving .005 off each side would be safe, but would...

One thing I noticed is that with felpro lower intake gaskets, the lower intake already sits a bit higher than it should. Then, being under the service limit (In my case, shaving .02 off) the lower intake sits even higher. In my case, Im considering shaving my lower intake a bit to make a flush...

Humour me. Hows your coolant level? Im pretty sure if it was cam sensor, you would be getting a code. Crank sensor is on the front of the motor. No bearing to worry about there.

Thats what I read also. There is no way it could be .089 off and be told its ok. I had to think for a minute also when I read it. Im a bit surprised they didn't shave the one slightly to make them both the same. I guess its just so close, its not worth it. edit:It looks like I missed...

i took .02 off the bottom of my heads, and didnt change rockers....i mean push rods. hahaha. sorry, couldnt resist. you are fine at that spec with the same push rods

I see you coat both sides of your gaskets with the permatex copper. Does that make removal difficult? You obviously find it works better than permatex black. I think I'll try using it.

Beautiful! Your all but done. I used the cheap ass gasket for my water pump and timing chain cover without even thinking about it. I may live to regret it.

doh! Thanks for the correction JD.

I didnt bother going back to Delta on my issue either. Between the cost of shipping, and frustration, it just wasnt worth it to me. As JD said, I probably had under 5000 km on mine, and my motor was noisy. Changed out lifters, and no more ticking. So, I sure hope your experience is going to...

Yes on the SC build thread. I'm just holding off till I have parts and have to start figuring out how things are going to go together. I'll be looking for a weekend install. Concerns me a bit.

I have been using the 89 tune. I did a trip to see my parents over christmas (6 hours each way), and my mileage was actually not very good (Iv experienced far better with this truck). This was at 70-75mph though. I'm not sure if the tune gave me better low end power/mileage, and at higher rpm's...

What he said!! I'm jumping way to far ahead in my assumptions. I ASS-umed it was an OHV by the year.

What he said!! I'm jumping way to far ahead in my assumptions.

Ya, Ive been pretty bust with work also. Stupid work gets in the way. :p: I have my m90, and fuel pump now, and have wideband, injectors (36lb) and maf on the way. Hopefully, once I get wideband, and fuel pump installed I'll have the cash for the M90 mount assy from RPCaster. Still no word...

Ok, now I get it. Lower intake gaskets are cooked. 90% sure. You failed to mention you were going thru coolant. The coolant portion of the gasket blows out, and coolant drains in to the motor. Mine did exactly what you are describing. Mine wouldn't always stall, but would stumble. Better...

Any updates? I cant wait!!

I think even though Delta thinks people are sending them Ford rockers for rebuild, they aren't. Delta is getting cheap, soft rockers from people for rebuild. That would explain why one bank is made of soft rockers, and the other side seems fine. The compressed rocker definitely creates noise...

Can you identify where the clicking's coming from? When you put the key in and turn it(Not all the way to engage the starter), do you hear the fuel pump cycle? Have you checked fuel pressure? When the motor stalls, is it running fine, and then just drops off? Once the motor stalls, will it start...

Was your front main oil seal weeping? I didn't even notice mine was until I was pulling the timing cover off. Everything looks so clean. I'm still amazed.

You, police cars are modified. You can get in the back seat, but cant get out without 'help'. Ask me how I found out. :rolleyes: You will have to take the rear door panels off and see what was done. Probably an easy fix. If you want cup holders, find a donor. Im sure those were removed...

Nice write up on pulling the harmonic balancer. I'm impressed. First thing I noticed is how nice your balancer looks. Then I looked at your location. Im so jealous. Everything on my trucks all rusty.

Have you pulled the main pulley off yet? What drove me insane was trying to get the bolts for the puller in the pulley by feel, since you cant get the right angle to see bold holes with the rad still installed. Your right though, you need to stay relaxed.

What about a cut polish and wax?

Looks like a great job to me. Congratulations! One step at a time.

Im still stuck on the timing light showing a plug is firing intermittently. I guess I dont quite understand.
