Building Kyle's S197 GT

[Kylejb2663]

So I thought I should just finally create a build thread for my baby!

As you know I have completed some of the big steps of my build- Alky Control 100% Methanol Injection, Vortech V3 Supercharger @ 12 pounds of Boost, Tremec TR6060 6 speed transmission, RAM Powergrip HD Clutch & Steel Flywheel.

I am starting to order some small parts in prep for big parts coming later this Spring/Summer- Shhhh It's a surprise! I always say Do it right the first, so I am not re-visiting anything on this car a 2nd time.

I ordered some new parts- so far I have gotten this in but I will be posting more later as they come in...

1st part to arrive is a Ford Racing Afco Aluminum Radiator- Designed to handle 800HP, 100% Tig Welded, NO EPOXY.

Thanks man! Radiator will definitely help keep the car cool- if it overheats with it, then I got a major issue of some type lol

Wow, I just noticed this and it made me laugh. Huge joke with my brother and I. We saw an 80th Birthday invitation just like that "Shhh It's a secret" and not enough space between Shhh and It's.. all we could think is 80th Birthday Party, Shit's a Secret..We laugh out loud every time we think of it! Thanks for making my day!

Good luck Kyle.

I have the Afco Heat exchanger, and man it is well built.


Going for a built big bore I am guessing.

Are you sure the wifey is cool with this, cause after the " I do's" it is all " I will not, and don't you dare's"

Finally getting that MMR block?


or maybe buying andrews...

 

[Wicked One]

Screw MMR!!!! Do a search, they are shit!!!!!

 

[RedHot97]

Lmao Gregg I am fine with it. As long as he can still afford my tropical honeymoon and the parts of the wedding we have to pay for, I never have any issue with him putting money in the car

 

[RedHot97]

Although check back with me on February 5th (day after the I dos) and we will see if my answer changes.

 

[Kylejb2663]

Thanks Greg lmao! I am looking forward to getting it in and seeing what it does for temps...its built to the Max though looks better then most rads I have seen

No mmr block Alex.... I've done a lot of research...not Good at all! But Ford racing stroked aluminator seems nice ; )

 

[ColdCougar]

LOL NICE BRO ... that Radiator is SEXAY !!!

 

[Kylejb2663]

LOL NICE BRO ... that Radiator is SEXAY !!!

Thanks man!! I'm excited!

While I am installing the radiator, I am removing the A/C Condenser along with all the A/C Parts/hoses and replacing the compressor with a Ford Racing A/C Pulley Delete. I had thought originally about keeping it in the car but who am I kidding, I will never use the A/C no matter what and it just adds more strain to a supercharged engine and the belt every time the A/C clutch engages and disengages.

Plus I am pretty sure if I ever had to sell my car they are not going to buy it for the air conditioning LOL

4.6 stroked to 302?

 

[Kylejb2663]

4.6 stroked to 302?

Yes sir!

That won't be coming till summer though I am trying to get all the "little" mods done first to support the increase in power.

 

[NYstang]

Might want to get a DTT out back!

I see you are doing the MANUAL A/C.... That would be the far right pedal... The farther down you push the cooler the air is that comes through the windows....

LMAO! That would be correct!

I think I only used the A/C once and it was when I was going down to Michigan, other then that it's been MANUAL A/C the rest of the time lol
