My buildup!

Jon Do you recomend the fuel rails u have now? aeromotive right?

Oh ya Im saving up for a stage 2 turbo from rocket....
Remote Mounted... Im about 2 months away from buying...maybe less

Im about 8 months away from completion...
I got the TMs,

those 30#s for now, Later much larger ones!,

ur MAF if it works.., saving for..... Blue Oval Industries Upper and lower rpm polished intake..

4406 swap, 4:10 gears... B&M Ratchet shifter.

I plan to port and polish my Heads, intake, Tbody elbow, gear drive, 530" lift cam,

Crane CompuCam Camshafts
Camshaft, Hydraulic Roller Tappet, Advertised Duration 262/ 270, Lift .530/ .530, Ford, Small Block, Each


High volume fuel pump... Nology wires, and little odds and ends...

Iam gonna take my car to an awd dyno, we have one around here, alot of wrx guys go there I think its called Diablo sport or vishnu

Thats going to be a whole lot of work but good for every second of it.

Nice. Will be looking forward to results.

 

[Jakee]

I like! Keep it coming cuss this motivates me.

You could use the aeromotive adjustable regulator in their kit

It is an adjustable- boost reference regulator--

wow plug changes will be fun with those headers in place

No worse than the stock exhaust manifolds.

Well, #8 is a bit tricky-but it is a 20 minute job-including removal of the tires--

 

[manaen]

It's got to be easier than my SOHC

 

[410Fortune]

I have 0 issues replacing the plugs on either the BII or the explorer, I have TM headers on both trucks.

Of course I also have about 12" between the tire and the fender on the BII and no inner fender liners on either truck but hey.....plug changes are SIMPLE on the V8, on both v6 trucks go through the wheel well and your golden

This sucker shoudl scream! Any plans to remove the AWD?

 

[manaen]

Everything looks cool, I only have one question, why not go with a little more agressive cam, say something in the 280 range?

Unless of course your looking to maintain the low end. 530 lift is way up there, what is the limit of the stock springs? and are you going to stick with stock rockers or go with a higher ratio roller?

what is the stock cam on these truck motors?

OKOK maybe more than one question, but it was all based on the same topic

 

[410Fortune]

stock cam is a Ford explorer grind, not sure of the specs

for that cam I would go 1.7 rollers, springs and pushrods....correct? (always still learning this stuff)

 

[techieman33]

He said he was planning a 4406 swap in the first post, it was just kind of hidden.

I would say so. I love that 4406, I'm glad you suggested it to me several months ago. This truck is going to fly.

I read this in a book about 5.0 Mustangs and posted it in another thread.

[manaen]

that cannot be correct, if memory serves me well the GT40 had in the range of a .490 lift with a .282 duration

some of those lift numbers look like duration.

I know the cam I put in my 85 mustang is a wolverine with 282/292 and .490 lift I think the stock was 262/272 with .450 lift.

although it has been a long time. geesh all this talk is gonna start to make me wanna spend money again. This board is pure evil

The given duration figures are TOTAL duration--
Duration @ .050 lift is a much more critical value for planning

The lift values are correct-those are actual lobe measurements which should be multiplied by the ratio of rocker arms being used--
this will give you the valve lift-

BTW--an X cam is called a "286" grind in some circles--however the duration @ .050" lift is around 222-224

The numbers are from the book "The Official Ford Mustang 5.0 Technical Reference and Performance Handbook" by Al Kirschenbaum.


And correct Jon. The 93 Cobra "GT-40" engine came with 1.7 Roller Rockers from the factory.

 

[manaen]

wait wait, those are probably grind numbers not lift at the valve, maybe ?

 

[manaen]

Thanks JT, that makes much more sense. you beat me to it

 

[manaen]

would this depend on the type IE.. roller versus solid, since the roller can incur much steeper grind angles less is lost or am I way off here

BTW.. I apologize for sending this thread of topic
