My Pinky project thread...

Oh yeah I understand that it won't be the FIRST start up, but we want a vid regardless. For the very very first startup vid you need a 2nd person to film in a case like this.

Filming first startup is bad luck too.. LOL..

I'm headed out now to drop the subframes, and evaluate the exhaust to see how I can get it out of the way, I may not do much more than that since I'm friken beat after running network cable on a 25 foot ladder at work yesterday... my calves are killing me from balancing.

[3400-95-Modified]

Well i did a little work.

Dropped frame rails, cut off exhaust, replaced inner tierod bushings... Yes I do use my own products

and then installed the transmission.

PICS...













Since I forgot to get a Belt, I can't really install the motor since the side motor mount would be in the way later, so yeah that will wait till tomorrow. I'll just go get the other fluids I need for tomorrow now.

[IsaacHayes]

Looking good. BTW did you get my PM on the torque strut?

[3400-95-Modified]

Yeah, I'm just gonna order a MRZ one once I get Shanes second MO for his headers... its bad enough the first few drives its gonna have a almost solid upper and the stock lower... I hope I dont rip it apart that quick.

[IsaacHayes]

I need mine soon, when the trans shifts it feels like I ran over a small animal LOL And thats with a low mileage one from loner in there now. I wonder if I should turn down the trans modulator.. 4 turns in might be too much?? LOL WOT shifts though ARE faster with it for some reason.

another quality job by jon, cant wait to hear this run at bfest as vids dont do it much justice in my opinion.

hey, them frame rails look lil dirty there in the engine bay thats not acceptable after the way u made the tranny and motor look

i should have my car runnin also by the end of the month and in 2 wks ill be gettin my tuner, muffler, cat and xhaust piping, its just my fiance had held me up havin to fix my truck after her minor bumper bender thats runnin me 700 also

Well its friken loud and lopey... cant judge its power now because well its open headers so it sounds like its reving to shit at 4k to my ears so I didn't romp on it, and its raining so I have no traction... Oh and I definitely need to add washers to my shift accumulators or bump up my modulator pressure... shifted wicked soft, and the torque converter is very bearable I'm suprised... way better than the PDQ one I tried a long time ago.

Oh and the radiator is cracked... so yeah gotta wait till monday for one of those... FUK!

Vid is uploading so hang in there.

A little teaser pic while it uploads...

i love this car...

[IsaacHayes]

Sounds rad. I remember being behind a newer mustang back in the day in mcdonalds drive through with a loppy cam. I thought it was cool as hell that a newer car had old muscle car lope. Imagine peoples surprise when they see it's coming from a beretta.

[silvergtjrad]

that cam sounds very nice

[MidnightriderZ24]
