well the car is almost ready to be fired up. should be doing this tonight!

 

Hi `David,
Good Luck & we will be looking forward to your updates
Hopefully with pictures & a Vid to hear the awesome sounds..

 

 

Ok so still much to do but it runs. Here is a video. Will have a better one later but here's a quick one from my phone: http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d5...x/IMG_1207.mp4
After priming it with the fuel relay out, it fired up on the first turn of the key. Lots of different sounds compared to my DOHC. I will miss that engine. I think the alt is rattling at low rpm. I might have a vac leak in the uim.
Looking over the scan, I had a max of 14* of Kr. Trims were +8. I know I have might have exhas leaks as the crossover doesnt hav clamps yet. I realized I have no vac line on the evap... So that is a vac leak I need to plug. I have a new bin to upload with the p0452 removed for fuel tank pressure sensor my 96 dont have one, MAF corrections, adjusted pulses per mile for my tires, and added fuel for pe even though I have even gotten into pe yet. Have taken it past 3500 I don't think.

So for tomorrow:
-vac and exhaust leaks fix
-new bin
-lug nuts
-strut braces and stb
- use the autolite 104's I have
- check and bleed power steering
- check all fluids
- begin tuning: idle/ cruse/ wot

 

Congrats!!

 

Sounds good.

 

thank you! feels good to have it running again.

 

Today the Z tasted blood! She got her first kill, a V6 mustang! yes i know this isnt something to brag about but its a start for an engine im "taking easy" and breaking in. this engine and 3.29's are very torquey, even without all the fine tuning, it is very fun. not as strong of a pull as my DOHC and 3.73 gears but much better then when i had my DOHC with 3.43's. i do notice the lack of pull as you go up in the RPM vs what my DOHC felt like but im sure the blower will make up for it.

the part throttle KR is almost gone! and that was just from one tune/flash. i have another bin ready to go in from the data i got on the drive to work.

Yesterday i fixed:
-vac leak at evap and found a loose bolt on UIM, band clamp at front off crossover... still need one on rear.
-new bin with ses's removed
-lug nuts
-strut braces and stb
- checked and bled power steering
- checked all fluids

it sounds great now. all that is left is to have the
-rear cross over band clamp
-replace starter as it seems to not engage all the time
-have the exhaust welded up. see what i can do about having the speed daddy Ubend removed from the headers so i have more ground clearance. i havent scraped yet but it is low about 4" off ground

 

here is a video of her on the road.... just as someone get a missile lock on me! lol the cops are getting pretty aggressive lately.

 

Sounds Nice..
