For those who don't know in my original build thread we custom twin turbo'd and fabricated quite a bit of stuff for my s197.

15,000+ Miles later car is still running very STRONG! I haven't had any motor problems, just a head gaskets leak i have had from the beginning. Hasn't really effected much other then some overheating issues during humid or hot days. The car has burnt minimal amounts of oil, maybe a quart a month...
Don't think for a second this car has been babied at all, every time driven the car has taken a beating to redline or more. "Why build it, if your not going to enjoy it right"? I blew the transmission in this fun and had it rebuilt.
So with that said; I knew I was in for some problems down the road. I EXPECTED this car to last one season and POP... She has surprised me and my buddy and i take everyday as a gift that she starts.
500whp-500wht on a Mustang Dyno spiking to 13-14psi so little bit over 500....
I was so certain she was going to pop that I bought a blown shortblock to build along with heads. They sat for a year plus now and I ended up selling the heads!
This is the list of everything If I can remember correctly.
- 302 stroker kit Forged Crank and Rods
- Diamond Pistons .20 over 8:5:1 compression
- Stainless rings
- Arp Head Studs
- Arp Mains
- Arp Rod Cap bolts
- Canton 7-8lb Pan and Windage
- Meizeres Electric W/p
- Melling Billet Oil pump
- Turbo Smart Eboost2
- Comp Springs
- Comp Retainers
- Comp Limiters
- Comp Custom Grind Cams
- RAM 10.5 Dual Disc Clutch
- Full Motor Gasket Kit
- Timing Chains, Gears, Guides, and older style Tensioners
- Che UCA Mount
- Che Adjustable UCA
- Ford Racing 3.73 Gears and kit
- Ford Racing LSD
- Drake Differential Cover
- Stainless Braided 10ft of -8an , -6an and -10an
- Assortment of -an Fittings
- Eagle Vacuum distribution block
Now it is time to build the beast to its true potential. The stock motor with the hotrod cams was still running Superb but I tore up my rearend due to a SH*T install and decided to start building her.
I sent out and extra block I had laying around to be built at R & R a local MAchine shop for me.
Line bored, honed, de burred and etc.
While the block was being built I pulled the motor out of my car:
What we decided we were going to do is relocate everything in the engine bay and then SHAVE it completely. The ECU and fuse box are the main concerns and we were hoping to not have to extend too many wires but Its impossible in my case.
- ECU in the Passenger side fender
- Fuse Box behind passenger side glove box.
I held off on doing the ECU and Fuse box and instead moved my direction to the ABS unit.
Line lock was being a PITA! Used one hole already on the ABS unit then created a tab to "reach around".
Used the Stock Mount and modified it to work in the location of choosing.
Very stiff and will bend in a fender bender rather then break.
Take into consideration I bent all those by hand. lol
Once I pulled the motor we stripped everything out of the engine bay prepping it for patches and filling the holes.
As all this was going on I got my bottom end and heads back.
Swapped everything i needed over:
Decided the Canton Pan Clashed with the Aluminum block so I taped off and Painted:
Painted the Timing cover as well, polished up the tensioner and cleared it:
As you saw in the back round i got my heads back also:
Got the rear end put back together last week.
Checking the back lash getting everything precise.
Welded the Axel tubes and the BMR Relocation Brackets to the the rear.
After getting the Rearend all welded up we put her back up in the car!
POR15 the Entire bottom of the car, axels and suspension.
Then we coated the Fel Pro MLS Gaskets with copper paint for the head install, Let them cure and threw them on.
Then we installed the heads and i cleared them with high temp clear.
Got my Cams in yesterday and got some stuff done.
Got the guides and everything test fitted.
Installed the cams, and chains:
Gerbil Power!
