so had some issues with my engine again so ive decided to consolidate all my projects and work with what I got. Please see for sale thread for the many parts that I have for sale that will be funding to finish this car. The 1990 McLaren shell (Racer X) is also up for grabs.. That being said I will continue on my quest to attempt to build bigger and finish what I started. A 7xx HP engine.. Interior will also be restored along with the exterior.
edit: crank didn't break this time but it broke a valve head on cyl #5 and destroyed everything.. uggg
The last piece I need to make it work is a Crower billet crankshaft. Then I can finish the motor and work on the interior/ exterior. I know much of everything sounds confusing as Im all over the place with my projects but this is why Im starting semi-fresh. So I can ensure everything will get done and Im hoping this car by the time of the Ohio meet.
I will need to ask.. Does anyone have an A/C setup for sale?? all the lines and everything? and also Im looking for at least 1 seat mainly the drivers power seat in gray leather as its frame is broken and torn.. also need a sunroof module

id love to post pix I guess I need photobucket or something.... Ill set it up this weekend
Been very busy working at night and building my gf's Mustang. I will post these when I have a chance to sit down one night. But basically all Im waiting on is funding for the Crower Billet Crankshaft which will be basically after I finish both the Mustang 347 and the Mitsubishi Starion. I have the Suspension fabricated though. fabbed up some pillow ball strut mounts and modified the housings to accept Koni Short Stroke Shocks. I would like to at least get all that together by the winter. We shall see.
Stay Tuned

Sorry about the wait. I may send out the modified 3500 crank I have in my other engine to be hardened and use that since m already way out of budget. Im just worried about failure again. We shall see. I will be stopping by my machinist tonight to ask him about doing this and see what he says if he thinks it will hold then I may just do that and get the ball rolling on getting this project done over the winter.
I think what we really want to see is the headers and downpipe. Custom built I'm assuming. Still interested in a picture!
PM me for a 3500 UIM.
using a 3400 upper that will have an enlarged plenum fabbed up and welded. just gotta pick up an English wheel from the harbor frieght
I had headers on the previous engine. issue is with the turbo in the stock location the last 2 runner 5/6 become short and burn the exhaust valves.. ask me how I found that out.. cost the motor. Ill post pix of that at some point

Is that what happened to it? I thought it snapped another crank?
I didn't know what happened but then once I realized there was coolant in the header and the engine was locked up I knew it wasn't the crank. but I assumed. the exhaust valve on cyl #5 decided to snap in half. then crank will be magnafluxed so I can be sure it doesn't have any issues
Thats probably an easier fix. Cheaper, too. I assume the valve must have punctured the head, and maybe the piston too. Is the block still usable?
I could fix it. couple other pistons got scuffed and a new head would have to be ported. Replace all valves and such. Rod as well. but I have no interest in fixing that engine.
I will be building this new engine for the Mach 5 and not looking back.
