https://i.imgur.com/86PoU7Y.jpg Sold the motor so might as well start. https://i.imgur.com/fekbGfo.jpg https://i.imgur.com/Y5Tfu6x.jpg Transmission crossmember mount was pretty tough to get out https://i.imgur.com/LkUAUW0.jpg The shifter mount and drive shaft center bearing mount came out super easy. Used an air chisel. Cut them out with the chisel and then chiseled out the left over spot welds https://i.imgur.com/WxamcLj.jpg https://i.imgur.com/KDRn7EW.jpg https://i.imgur.com/e7Hc2Ah.jpg With the tunnel cleaned out, the front subframe is next Need to remove these engine mount pads from the subframe, grind the welds, smooth it out then bolt up the mounts https://i.imgur.com/EqirAm7.jpg https://i.imgur.com/nXZykYT.jpg Something like this https://i.imgur.com/311KoWO.jpg Need to pull the center console and front seats to start drilling holes. Transmission mount goes here. Mount brackets are located in place with the single bolt from the bottom for the plastic under body covers...should make things easy...easier. https://i.imgur.com/A2jrleB.jpg Here is what’s going in. Texas Speed 418ci making somewhere between 600-700 hp. And Vorshlags specified version of the T56 magnum XL https://i.imgur.com/0WC0Ip2.jpg Car already has. A Fullblown Motorsports Ford 8.8 rear end https://i.imgur.com/Qy9hRj2.jpg Vorshlag also supplied the clutch hydraulics which look really nice, the slave cylinder even has a nice coupler to make removing the transmission easier. https://i.imgur.com/VI7BANk.jpg Adjustable Tilton clutch master cylinder https://i.imgur.com/ZYYXtod.jpg Engine mount brackets bolted on https://i.imgur.com/9UDLtP0.jpg |

Since I sold the motor, I figured now is as good a time as any to get started and at least I can have plenty of time to get all the other details handled exactly the way I want. |
I see a lot of folks going with TSP engines, I'm looking at them as well. Can you share your build list/specs for the TSP engine? Also can you share the part number for the T56 Magnum XL? Looking nice so far!

https://i.imgur.com/uZwygXq.jpg This is the engine package I started out with, I changed a few things (intake, cam, skipped the computer and harness since I knew I was doing the motec) Though mine is a 418 (light overbore I think) and mine has a compression ratio of 11.25...seems like they’ve changed it up a little. https://www.texas-speed.com/p-3584-t...y-package.aspx Texas Speed has a pretty good track record from what I seen online...my other choice was MAST but it would have been another $10k or so. |
Awesome! Debut at the Dec 86CUP event? :)
