[2Fast4You]

After dealing with some other issues I finally got a chance to put everything together and then get it in. Not completely lined up yet but a very good start to it.

[2Fast4You]

Should receive the carb on Tuesday. Bought a brand new Holley HP 950 for half the cost of new, couldn't pass it up. That was even with shipping. More photo's to come as I progress, if things go to plan I will have this running this year.

[dsmawd350]

Looking good. Any plans for paint

[331lx]

[Rick93coupe]

[2Fast4You]

Going with house Of Kolors, it's a Sunset Pearl.

[slow86fiveoh]

A buddy of mine had a notch painted the same color and it looked amazing

[331lx]

Badass color

[draggin50]

Looking good!!

[2Fast4You]

Thanks guys, a few more photos after messing with the car a little more. Was just working on where to mount the MSD 7AL-2 box and fuel pump.

Thanks and I most definitely will keep at it, the bug has me. It's been way to long.

[Gregg@TFS]

Looks good!!

[2Fast4You]

Just added a small but key component to the top of the nitrous plate and manifold. Man it's starting to look like something.

Man u shoulda bought my built 950hp I had for sale a fee months ago, woulda been perfect, on the flip side this thing is gettin close.....

[2Fast4You]

Man u shoulda bought my built 950hp I had for sale a fee months ago, woulda been perfect, on the flip side this thing is gettin close.....

I was contemplating it quite a bit but at the time I was set on running E85.
This happened to pop out at me while researching and couldn't pass it up for the price being new.
How is your car coming?

Thanks

[5.0calypso93lx]

Those valve covers are sweet!

[331lx]

Haven't messed with it much at all, been tryn to get brians finished and had to spend some of my toy money on truck so its kinda collecting dust right now lol

[2Fast4You]

Those valve covers are sweet!

Yeah, I like them for the most part.
You may know the guy I got them from. Lol

[cyah92]

Can't wait to c it run

[2Fast4You]

Can't wait to c it run

That makes two of us...

[Blowpastyou]

Well get it done then.. summer is almost here

[2Fast4You]

Your absolutely correct, gotta get it done.

[2Fast4You]

No pictures but made some progress on the car this weekend. Installed the drive shaft safety loop, marked the preliminary areas needing to be cut out for the motor plate mounting tabs and finally decided where to mount the ignition and switches. Only thing that I really hate is the fact that the Scott Rod panels on the frame rails need to be cut to mount the motor plate. Measured to get the needed length for my drive shaft to be shortened.

[cyah92]

I got another month before I get my engine back. So hurry and get thing running. But its starting to come together.

[2Fast4You]

I have some up dated photo's but haven't been able to get them posted yet. I have the interior dash, center console etc. almost where I need it to wire everything in. Started on bleeding the brakes, got the engine and trans close to where I need it to attach the engine plate and possibly the mid plate (not sure if I'm going to use it yet), order my fuel pressure regulator, fuel distribution block, fittings and black nylon hose. The rear deck lid is in the process of hinges being made to work and then the wing installation. The suspension is close but needs some fine tuning and then on to the alignment. Just trying to do the best with what I have to move this thing along before I need more outside help. I even purchased a Lincoln Pro-Mig welder to help with some of it. I will keep the updates as I go, hoping to have this running in August and possibly at the track come September for some good cool air. I have also decided to have the radiator fitted for AN fittings to help prevent any unforeseen. I replaced the driver's door hinge pins and installed the door, it works great and has nifty door handles that are a little more aerodynamic than the factory. I think I'm also going to remove the door mirrors to help with any resistance while zeroing in on the 1/4-mile but when the time comes, I will have to re-install them.

[Kwik92GT]

PM box full, shifter good to go?

[jack90gt]

Looks badass man... Good job

[2Fast4You]

Thanks, It's been a long road but it will all be well worth it. Been delayed on expected completion time but it's all good. It will be running this year but just may not be at the track until next spring, we will see. Even if I get it running I want to get it to the chassis dyno to play with some combination's on a few things, want to get the most out of it but want it to last as long as possible.

Thanks to everyone that has been a positive influence during this build, Thanks

[redfirepearlgt]

Lookin good Shayne!!! Missed you today BTW. Turned out ot be a great time. We ate pig until we puked. THe lot was packed in spite of the weather.

I surely wanted to be there, Thanks Chad

[2Fast4You]

Not a whole lot of progress recently but here are a couple older photos that I haven't posted yet. Decided to AN fitting the radiator to help prevent any out burst. LOL

[dr59l]

Wat sizes? Thinking bout this myself as I blew a hose off last year

[2Fast4You]

20 for the water pump side and 16 for the thermostat side.

[dr59l]

Gotcha I look into it. Have find fittings an a place to tig it

[2Fast4You]

Give Rob @ Rogue Race Cars or Adam @ S&M Motorsports a call to do it. Rob did mine a little while back.

[2Fast4You]

Some minor progress on the car. Engine and trans lined up for its final positioning, mid plate and engine plate are completely mounted in, fuel pump is now mounted, valve covers and headers flanges milled down to fit together. Still working with the header on the passenger side to fit but should be good soon.

[Rick93coupe]

It's getting there, I like where you mounted the ARC panel. That will be pretty slick.

[2Fast4You]

Thanks, it will be running someday.

[2Fast4You]

[cyah92]

sweet brother its coming along hate to see the bill on that. lol

[2Fast4You]

Just working on it slowly, more time than money and don't even have enough of that.

[2Fast4You]

Here is a photo with the wing now installed and fully functional, let me know what you think.

http://i1096.photobucket.com/albums/g338/way2fast4you2/IMG_20131023_182836_964_zps1ea4d97d.jpg (http://s1096.photobucket.com/user/way2fast4you2/media/IMG_20131023_182836_964_zps1ea4d97d.jpg.html)

[dsmawd350]

Are the ends of the wing on backward? They supposed to stick out like that

[rtvickers]

I cant wait to see that thing hit the street.

[2Fast4You]

Are the ends of the wing on backward? They supposed to stick out like that

It's on there as the directions state.


I cant wait to see that thing hit the street.

That makes two of us Tommy, right now utilizing the parts I have. Taking me longer than I was hoping but that's life and I have had good help.

[draggin50]

Looking good!!! Cant wait to see it done!

[2Fast4You]

Thanks Brian, I'm eager with anticipation. Next is to set the suspension, steering and height. Then on to plumbing and wiring, after that I should be ready to think about firing it up. The beautiful sound of horse power, I can hardly wait.

[draggin50]

I bet! Im in the same boat! I cant wait to get the 85 back together and see how it runs.

[2Fast4You]

I have been thinking about this car a whole lot and what I should do with it, it currently has no wiring but I have the complete factory wiring harnesses. So I think I want this to become more of a Wild Street Car and take it to the cruise ins and car shows. Doesn't mean I won't race it but ultimately I want it to be a street car again.

[draggin50]

That's where its at. Who wants a trailer queen you cant enjoy any!

[dr59l]

Now u gonna enjoy it more. Keep updating progress I like this car

[Rick93coupe]

Put that shit back in, trust me. That's my only regret!

[2Fast4You]

I couldn't agree with you guys more, the enjoyment the family and myself will have with this will be much more than if it was just a trailer queen. My daughter and youngest son love to sit in it and act if they were driving it. Imagine their faces when they actually can drive in it, Grins from ear to ear. My oldest son is going to Butler Tech this year for Auto Tech because he wants to become a little more savvy with this type of stuff, good on him.

[2Fast4You]

By the way,
Thanks guys, I appreciate the positive feedback.

[2Fast4You]

Just a mini update, put the car on the scales yesterday and it ways in at 2,650 lbs with driver. Man this car is light, not sure how that is going to pan out but I'm not mad.

[Rick93coupe]

Wow, that's really light. If like to find some scales locally to check mine out but I don't think there's any chance of being that light. That thing should fly! :bigthumb

[went12s]

how much is said driver weigh?

[2Fast4You]

Wow, that's really light. If like to find some scales locally to check mine out but I don't think there's any chance of being that light. That thing should fly! :bigthumb

Thanks


how much is said driver weigh?

@ 225lbs

[2Fast4You]

A little more progress, I decided to mount the switch relays, ignition and 3-step in the location of the factory location for the computer which is the passenger side kick panel. Wiring will to tucked up and out of the way and everything is still accessible.

[m347]

Nice set up. Out of the way, but easy to reach.

[2Fast4You]

More photos to follow. Just figuring out where to mount the fuel pressure regulator, ignition coil, alternator and start installing all the factory wiring.

[SN95N/A]

U think it will be ready come spring? Lookin good man:bigthumb

[2Fast4You]

U think it will be ready come spring? Lookin good man:bigthumb

That is the goal, currently don't see any reason that it shouldn't.

[2000GT]

just flipped thru all these pages (bored at work) and this is a badass build :bigthumb

keep up the good work cant wait to see it done

[1baddlx]

Would you finish this already...your car is in 1st place for 2 separate threads that are miles long...it makes me want a coupe every time this pops up.get this done lol

[2Fast4You]

I'm bringing this back to life.
I've been spending more time on this recently between everything else that takes majority of my time (work and family). Been working a lot on the plumbing and almost finished, man fittings aren't getting any cheaper. Then onto wiring the entire system, pictures to follow soon.

[2Fast4You]

Here are a few photos, couldn't really get any of the braided trans lines being installed. It has been a very slow process but anything is a step in the direction to getting it running.

Looking good man!

[2Fast4You]

Thanks, I just need to keep picking at it.

[Kwik92GT]

Thanks, I just need to keep picking at it.

I was just getting ready to post that very thing here. lol I just recently figured this out for myself. Keep ay it no matter how small the steps, looks awesome! :bigthumb

[mustang_gt88]

looks great

[2Fast4You]

I have the fire starting again to keep at this but now we are leaving to go on vacation Saturday. I will not sleep while away thinking about all the things that need done to it, I already toss and turn thinking of all the things that need to be done now.

[TooFast98Cobra]

Love it ! Keep it up

[2Kblacksleeper]

Nice progress. Any is a good thing. Enjoy the vacation.

[2Fast4You]

Thanks guys and I will John.

[2Fast4You]

I have made a couple small steps in moving this forward. I have already committed to several individuals on here to having this running this coming spring, can't let them down and most importantly, myself. Here is the photo of the Florida 5.0 instrument dash cluster, just missing a speedo, going to call Auto Meter today about that.

http://i1096.photobucket.com/albums/g338/way2fast4you2/1991_zps56049afd.jpg (http://s1096.photobucket.com/user/way2fast4you2/media/1991_zps56049afd.jpg.html)

[2Fast4You]

I still have an open invitation to those that may be interested in giving me a hand, not specifically targeted at anyone (Chad). Lol

[redfirepearlgt]

If I don't work this Saturday and IF I can get finished Friday what I helped Adam @ S&M Motorsports start this past Tuesday (or at least get a good start on it Friday evening) I may be able to come help you some on Saturday afternoon. That assuming as well my wife doesn't have anything planned for us. One of these days however I need to get off my arse and paint the ceiling and walls in the living room that has been repaired since it fell in back in April. Still have all the pictures and stuff laying in the back bedroom. Hate the thought of having to mask off to paint because she wants yellow walls with a white ceiling.

[cyah92]

Say hi to my stang chad there at s and m. Starting to forget what it looks like.

[redfirepearlgt]

^^^ Saw it sittin up there on the lift Tuesday. Looked good. Whens it going to be road worthy again?

[2Fast4You]

Chad, his stang was waiting on MSD to repair the distributor and for a new starter, Adam has that now so it is a matter of time.

Now on to bigger and better cars here, mine. Lol

[cyah92]

All in the eye of the beholder. Lol. Thats all I can say is get that thing done.

[2Fast4You]

Pushing to make things happen this weekend never the less, will be working on the trans cooling lines and some fuel plumbing.

[NXcoupe]

Just read the entire thread and looked at all the pics. Yes, I understand what you were saying about the door handles now. Car looks incredible. You are taking your time and doing it right. Keep it up! Can't wait to hear it light up. Put the stock dash harness back in and body wiring. Everything will work and it's easy to get power and ignition power for your electronics that way too. Glad your finger didn't hold you back too much.

[2Fast4You]

Thanks Mike, I do have all the original wiring for this in the basement waiting with anticipation to install it. Finger is getting better everyday and ready to get in there and finish what I need to. Stop down and check it out in person, could always use some friendly help. Lol
Now out into the garage, I went and got fresh fuel for the torpedo heater and it will have that place warm in about 5 minutes.

[draggin50]

What all do you have left to get this done? Im ready to see it out come spring!

[2Fast4You]

Need to finish plumbing the fuel, trans cooler, NOS, wire in the ignition, cooling fans, fuel pump, trans brake and gauges. I'm sure there is a little more but this will get me to the point I can think about firing it up Brian.

[cyah92]

Nos. The engine is going to be to fast for u. Lol. Hopefully while im laid off for a few weeks we can get it done. Unless mine still have issues Iwwill be to depressed to help. Lol

[2Fast4You]

It will be different compared to what we are used to but scared, not sure about all of that. You will be here whether you like it or not and this will be running by this spring.

[cyah92]

Lol I know. Someone has to get it done.

Did some work tonight on this, started plumbing the trans cooling lines from the trans. Have the fans mounted and some photos of the fuel lines running through the frame rail.

[draggin50]

Looks like your making good progress.

Is the hose end in the last picture not on all the way? The one going into the frame rail.

[2Fast4You]

Yup, I will keep picking at it until it's go time.

[2Fast4You]

Looks like your making good progress.

Is the hose end in the last picture not on all the way? The one going into the frame rail.

Correct Brian, it is mocked up to insure fitment. I'm going to put something around the edges to keep the fuel line from being cut. Therefor, I will pull it back off to do that then re-install it completely.

[draggin50]

That's what I thought. Its looking good though! It looks like you don't have much left. If I could get time Id swing down and help out.

[2Fast4You]

Well, even if you just get some time to stop by, do so.

[draggin50]

Will do! Id like to check out the car! Gonna be pretty cool when its done!

[2Fast4You]

Finished the trans cooling lines last night, now on to the fuel lines.
One step closer to getting this thing running.

[cyah92]

12s here you come. Cant wait to see the front end come up and you pucker up.

[2Fast4You]

12's huh, as long as it doesn't blow up, that will be a step in getting it to go down the track safely.
12's idling maybe, Lol

[2Fast4You]

I have believe it or not been working on the coupe, little by little. This car must being running by spring, God help me succeed...

[cyah92]

:-)

[2Fast4You]

I couple photos of some more progress, little by little and this will get finished.
Messing with how I'm going to run the wires, I think I'm going to run them from the back side.
I as well have mounted the fuel pressure regulator up front permanently with existing brackets.

[2Fast4You]

The fuel lines from the regulator to the carb are now installed as well. Another tiny step toward getting this thing running.

[draggin50]

Looking good!!! This thing will be ready to fire before ya know it!!

[2Fast4You]

Thanks Brian, I couldn't wait on you any longer. Just kidding, LOL
I'm doing my best to get this thing ready and track worthy.

[draggin50]

I would've much rather came down and helped you out this past week instead of what I got dealt that's for sure! Im getting pretty good at plumbing and septic work lately!!

[2Fast4You]

I did read something about that, definetly a tough break.

[2Fast4You]

Took the fuel lines back out last night from the frame rails. I then installed automotive edge trimming to insure I shouldn't have any issues with abrasive wear or cutting the fuel line under heavy acceleration. LOL

Looks good

[k062693w]

SWEET !!! Grommets are Good ... I know a guy you should explain those to !!! LOL

[2Fast4You]

That's another funny comment you've come up with, I appreciate the compliment.

[2Fast4You]

Still working on the electrical side of things and misc., nothing to exciting to photo though. Lol

[2Fast4You]

Here is just a simple photo of the relays I wired up for the Magnafuel fuel pump, Meziere electric water pump and the dual electric fans at this time, one step forward is a plus.

http://i1096.photobucket.com/albums/g338/way2fast4you2/photo%204_zpsfixfynil.jpg (http://s1096.photobucket.com/user/way2fast4you2/media/photo%204_zpsfixfynil.jpg.html)

[2Fast4You]

Now I will run the wiring up in the car to the switches mounted in the passenger side kick panel area.

[dr59l]

Looks good an looks like u gonna need a lot of wire for this job lol

[2Fast4You]

Yeah, definitely going to need a little bit of wire. Fortunately I can get all that I need for it.

[2Fast4You]

Went and got some Delphi weatherproof disconnects to wire in the fuel pump, electric water pump and cooling fans.
Unfortunately Photobucket is down and unable to post pics but I will once it's back up.

Cleaned up the wiring in the rear from the relays and fuse block and running everything as well hidden as possible.

[SN95N/A]

You have probably covered this in earlier posts but what's this car going to be used as a street car? Nice work btw

[2Fast4You]

Had some issues with the ARC 8000 switch panel but it seems to be working now.

[2Fast4You]

It will be race ready first, I will then work on all the wiring for everything else to make it street worthy.
The ultimate goal is to put to back on the street.

[Rick93coupe]

Looking good! I really like those ARC controls setups.

[2Fast4You]

I agree Rick, their switches and and the relay panels being prefabbed make them nice and easy to use.

[2Fast4You]

So I spent another 2-hours last night checking all the switch activation leads that will run to the relays and grounds, all 12V leads are providing a good 12V source, so now onto terminating them to the relays.

[draggin50]

Get er done!!! You gotta be getting close to firing it up!!!

[2Fast4You]

I am getting closer Brian, I'm extremely eager with anticipation. Still a bunch of little things to take care of though, it shouldn't really be to long from now.

[2Fast4You]

Made some more progress today, no pictures but I did accomplish to get the fittings needed for the oil pressure gauge from the block and the 90* elbow I needed for the fuel pressure gauge off of the regulator all hooked up. Have the wiring from the starter solenoid to the starter finished as well. I'm going to put oil in the engine and pull the spark plugs to turn it over by the starter switch, it should go well and show me some oil pressure prior to starting it. If all goes well, I should almost be in the position to start the car this weekend, I say almost because I do not have any fuel or the exact plugs needed but that is a minor detail. Lol

Anyone have some race fuel they would be willing to give me to fire this up, I need about 10 gallons?

[draggin50]

Can you start it on 93? I did the 427 ysi car.

[2Fast4You]

Not sure about that Brian, it is a 13.25:1 compression ratio engine, I would prefer race fuel.
I just came back in from being in the garage and still feel pretty confident that the car itself would be capable of being started this weekend but doesn't mean that it will.

[draggin50]

Yeah probably better safe than sorry.

[rtvickers]

Awesome job Shayne.

[2Fast4You]

Thanks Tommy, I sure have been motivated lately to get this thing running. I think it's because my wife doesn't think it's going to get done so I have to insure that she isn't correct, darn woman. Lol

[NXcoupe]

Why rush to get it done, all you're gonna see is my coyote coupe's tailights.









lol, j/k. Get that thing done!

[2Fast4You]

^^^That's good stuff right there Mike, I guess time will tell.^^^

[NXcoupe]

Lol, too early for a call out thread?

[Bman]

When it comes to wiring labels make everyone's life easier. Invest in or barrow a good label maker.

[mustangjon]

Until it's running I wouldn't put it past shayne to change his mind and swap engines....

[2Fast4You]

Until it's running I wouldn't put it past shayne to change his mind and swap engines....

I have already been disciplined on that one and still have thoughts of the future for this car, just saying. lol


When it comes to wiring labels make everyone's life easier. Invest in or barrow a good label maker.

You are absolutely correct on that, I have one at work for that.

[2Fast4You]

Well, up till 2:00am again working on this car. Everything has been terminated in the wiring for the switch panel now and everything still works as it should also, wow.
Later today I will focus on finishing everything up that I can with the fuel lines and then on to something else.

[JIMS SVT]

What are you doing about paint? Seems like alot of work to take it back apart to paint it.

[2Fast4You]

I understand what you are saying but I have to look at this way, do I want to be cutting, drilling and possibly damaging a $5k paint job to make everything fit? No
I would rather figure everything out now and then pull it apart to paint it, then bolt everything back together, less chance of damaging the paint job afterwards.
It will be a lot of work but it will be worth it, doesn't mean that I may not still hurt something but it should be minor at that time.

[2Fast4You]

Just finished plumbing the fuel system other than a couple mounting pieces, that means it's one step closer to being finished.

[NXcoupe]

Good, when's the fire up date?

[2Fast4You]

Planning within the next two weekends.

[draggin50]

We will all be waiting on a video!!! Im sure you are more anxious than we are!

[2Fast4You]

I will insure that something gets posted once I have this thing running for everyone Brian, especially you... Lol

[draggin50]

Haha that's what I like to hear!!

I cant read so I just look at pictures or watch video!!

[2Fast4You]

Picked up a couple more pieces today to help insure that this thing is running by next weekend.

[draggin50]

Well what did ya get???

[k062693w]

Well what did ya get???

Yea what he said !!!

Details Details !!!

[draggin50]

Holding out on us!!! Don't keep us in suspense!!

[2Fast4You]

Lol, I went and got the magnetic pick up cable for the MSD ignition and the carb bracket for the throttle linkage, (2) important factors in being able to start and drive this bad boy.

[k062693w]

See ... That wasn't so hard, Now was it ??? LOL
Coming along ... Can't wait to hear it run ...

[2Fast4You]

Lol, No, No it wasn't...

[2Fast4You]

Well, I finished up a couple more things this evening, the car will be ready to start this weekend. Working on getting at least 10-gallons of race fuel, this will be the only thing to prevent me from starting it this weekend.

[Rick93coupe]

Does it actually need race gas to start and run? There's not going to be any load on the engine at idle or free reving.

I don't know, I'm just asking.

[2Fast4You]

Not sure about just to start, idle or reving it. It's a 13.5:1 engine and I just do not want to take any chances on hurting something. Way to much money and time into this thing to take a chance.

[draggin50]

That's kinda what I was thinking about the fuel also. With no load I think it would be fine, but I agree about not wanting to hurt it also. No reason to chance it.

[SN95N/A]

Screw it go buy some cheap swifty gas and let her rip.

[2Fast4You]

I talked to Rob Kropfeld yesterday and he said that he should have some but I haven't heard from it yet today. If all else fails, without a load on it, it may be Ok to run 93 just for a start up.

[draggin50]

Yeah Id say the 93 and maybe even adding some Octane boost would be ok to just start it.

[2Fast4You]

All I believe I need to do know is top off all of the fluids, run my return line from the fuel pump to the fuel cell and then put fuel in it.
Let's fire this thing up...

[NXcoupe]

Kinda hard to work on the car from inside on the computer! Get out there and do work son!

[2Fast4You]

Everything is ready now to attempt to fire it up again. Had issues with the carb dumping fuel into the intake, had to pull all of the plugs and let it air out.

[NXcoupe]

How about now?

[SN95N/A]

Having trouble uploading vid lol

[draggin50]

Having trouble uploading vid lol

Haha!!! I hope he isn't sitting on the computer again and he is out there in the garage listening to it run! I know he aint taking it around the block in the snow!

[2Fast4You]

All I have to say is, you guys suck, Thanks for the pick me up.
Had to leave after posting this today to go and pick the kids up from a friends that they stayed the night at. We had dinner there and then just recently returned home.
To late to try and actually start the car but I did put the plugs back in and turned it over, while turning it over I did turn the ignition on and it did a few rumbles.
Can't wait for tomorrow and to actually start it to let it run for a while.

[draggin50]

Tomorrow has came and went!!! Where is the video? Its cold and Im stuck inside, the least you could do is give me some videos to watch or pictures to look at!!!





I hate winter!

[2Fast4You]

Well, with the new day came some new issues. The MSD 7Al-2 ignition box I had took a dump prior to being able to start it. I shipped out the 7AL-2 yesterday back to MSD to evaluate for repair, if someone has something laying around I wouldn't mind borrowing something to get this thing running?

Now you have this to read Brian, Lol

[draggin50]

Thanks buddy! It was good talking to ya today! Had me nervous there for a minute! I haven't heard back from my buddy yet on his 6A box but Im sure he'll get back with me tomorrow. I know Id like to hear it fire up soon!

[2Fast4You]

Still in need of something to get this running to just get the fluids flowing and adjust some things, let me know.

[cyah92]

You can borrow mine. You know mine works

[SN95N/A]

There you go!!!

[2Fast4You]

Borrowed an 7AL-2 from Rob Kropfeld today, more to come now.

[2Fast4You]

Well, didn't make as much progress as I would have liked on this today. Couldn't get this thing to want to fire even with the borrowed MSD ignition and now knowing I had good spark. After doing multiple things and spending hours on trying to figure it out, I decided that I would try the race fuel and ditch the 93 octane. Best decision I made all day on it, once I did that it now wants to run. I need to tend to a few things and then it should be ready to go, I will then take a video of it running and post it for everyone.

[rtvickers]

Awesome job!

[chris91]

Awesome to hear! Good luck with the rest man!

[2Fast4You]

Thanks guys, I will do my best.

AWESOME!!!

[mustang8998]

Damn, Shane....I wonder why it didn't want to start on 93?

[2Fast4You]

Well, here is the newest development, it is officially alive. After church and breakfast I tinkered with it some more, had it running at an idle for about 3 minutes before shutting it down. Man you talk about being absolutely excited...
My friend took a video on his phone but it was absolutely crap, I have a few things I want to do before starting it again, but once I do, I will use something better for everyone to view.

[draggin50]

No way!!! I don't believe you!

Not until video proof that is!!

[mustangjon]

Congrats

[2Fast4You]

Short video of the start up and idle, what do you think? Let's be nice now, it's been 3 1/2 years for this moment.

[SN95N/A]

Damn sounds good hell yeah man nice work!

[draggin50]

Sounds pretty nasty!!! Glad to hear it run after all this time! Bet you was smiling ear to ear!!

[2Fast4You]

I'm still smiling Brian, Thanks

[cyah92]

Sounds just like mine. Lol

[2Fast4You]

Not quite, but close. Lol

[Rick93coupe]

Sounds awesome, congratulations!

[2Fast4You]

Thanks Rick, makes it so much more worth it now that it is running. Still some things to do and change but it should be ready for the track.

[redfirepearlgt]

holy crap Shayne!!! WOO-HOO!! Sounds awesome. Just got goose bumps.

[rtvickers]

Awesome job! All your hard paid off. Congrats Shayne.

[mustang8998]

Very Nice!

[NXcoupe]

Congrats! Sounds great.

[vertigo]

That's a clean engine bay! Sounds rowdy! Nice work!

[4n_eatr]

I think my b-hole just puckered up a bit.

[2Fast4You]

Thanks everyone, it is exciting...
Now on to some other stuff to finalize getting this ready for spring.

[2Fast4You]

It surely draws attention with open headers and somewhere in the neighborhood of .720 lift on a solid lift roller cam, it's a little rowdy as some of you have stated. Lol

[2Fast4You]

Also, it shakes things of the walls and shelves when it is running, wife has been patient with it so far. Lol
I have been telling her that it was going to run by this spring and she was questioning that, not any more. Lol

[2Fast4You]

Had to make some changes on the fuel lines from 8an to 6an to allow the throttle bracket to fit, I still had to grind down some of the bracket to get the fuel line to clear. Getting things done slowly but surely.

[draggin50]

Out of curiosity why is the front bowl fuel line on the drivers side? It's not something you see often.

[2Fast4You]

With mounting the regulator in the front of the engine, I felt the most sense was to go to the rear fuel bowl on the passenger side and to the front fuel bowl on the drivers side.

[2Fast4You]

Worked on wiring in the lights for the Auto Meter dash gauges last night, not finished but made some progress.

[draggin50]

Good job buddy! Im ready for this snow to clear up and start getting out again! Cabin fever is killing me!

[2Fast4You]

Thanks Brian, I'm really looking forward to warmer weather myself. Once I finish the dash lights or at least in the process, I need to wire in my line lock and transbrake too.

[2Fast4You]

Here is a sneak peak at the gauges with the lights functioning.

http://i1096.photobucket.com/albums/g338/way2fast4you2/Mustang%20gauges_zpss7tmkfbz.jpg (http://s1096.photobucket.com/user/way2fast4you2/media/Mustang%20gauges_zpss7tmkfbz.jpg.html)

[draggin50]

Warm weather is coming!!! I expect to see a video soon of it out cruising!!!

[2Fast4You]

I'm ready for the warmer weather, I may be able to get around the block and back before the neighbors possibly complain. Lol
For now it will primarily be a strip car until I can get all the factory wiring reinstalled.

[2Fast4You]

Finalizing the trans brake wiring and then I will run it through the gears on jack stands. Once that is completed, I may take it out on the street just to see how she acts today.

[draggin50]

Hell yeah!! Good to hear!

[2Fast4You]

Ran it through the gears successfully today, good deal, that much closer to getting it worthy now.

So I was tired of making a mess on the garage floor with the coolant, so I did this. Mounted it inside the driver's front fender, keeps it clean under the hood and it is functional. I can still keep an eye on it while I'm under the hood. What do you think?

The only thing I see that may be bad is if the hose pops off or it breaks and spills under the tires. That wouldn't be good!!!

[2Fast4You]

I thought about that as well but not sure there is any true spot to mount it that some coolant may not affect that. The best bet would be the center of the engine compartment then, I guess it could be mounted in front of the radiator, just wouldn't be as clean looking under the hood.

[draggin50]

I had an aluminum overflow and Gary welded it right to the radiator. Very clean looking and about 8 inches of hose running to it. I don't know if I got any pictures of it but Ill check.

Here is a crappy picture. You can see it though.

That's an idea, I can look into that here soon. Just wanted something at this time to prevent any further messes from the coolant.

[draggin50]

Yeah I know what you mean! In time!

[2Fast4You]

Just a small update but no photos to show at this time. Getting ready for the Stang to make one more trip to the chassis shop (Rogue Racecars), hopefully this will be the final trip for quite some time.
First, the 9" housing end that is welded onto the 8.8 has a pinhole leak, needs to be fixed.
Second, the 8.8 is going to get the Team Z reinforcement kit installed to keep the axle tubes from twisting under heavy acceleration.
Third, the rear end is going to get a wishbone installed to keep the 8.8 straight under heavy acceleration.
Fourth, mounting of the GM 1-wire alternator to keep power coming to the system, brackets and spacers will need made for this.
Fifth, need to look at modifications to my existing trans cross member, my 3 1/2" exhaust will not fit with the current one.

[draggin50]

You already have the Team Z brace? Josh Ashley is local and makes a bad ass brace! I can get you in touch with him if needed.

Jegs and Summit sell a one wire alternator that is in a Ford housing. Should make mounting it a lot easier. I used the gm style on my big block Mopar and had to make brackets but would have saved time to use stock style mounting brackets.

8.8 has not been reinforced yet, give me his number and I will call him, I haven't ordered anything yet.

This has a motor plate so the standard brackets will not work in this application.

Here is his brace. It has spots on the bottom for tow hooks also so it makes it easy to tie down.

Thanks Brian!!!

[bbfstanger]

josh is great to deal with and does top notch work.
weld the axle tubes so they don't twist and the brace keeps the tubes from flexing.

[draggin50]

I may call him up and have him make me one for the Cobra. He don't get on here much anymore I don't think.

[rtvickers]

Thanks for the call today Shayne. I was great talking to you. I can't wait to see that beast go down the track.

[SN95N/A]

Can we get a vid of this beast doing a big holeshot lol

[2Fast4You]

Good talking to you to Tommy, I was heading back from a customers when I called.
I will most definitely accommodate a hole shot, just wont be at this time and it may have to be from the track.
Took the car back to Rogue Race Cars last night and had the chassis certified to 8.50, Oh yeah.

Hey I missed your call. I was out eating with the family.

[2Fast4You]

It will be painted using the House of Kolors Sunset Pearl which is an Orange.

[draggin50]

[2Fast4You]

Yup, get the things done at the shop and then on to the track for some tuning and passes. Next from that will be to get my NHRA license.
