1989Gt. · October 30th, 2011, 04:31 AM

Hey guys so i just wanted to share this info and pitures with you guys and keep you updated if you were thinking about doing this yourself i can help. Not a write up sadly just couldnt find the 3rd hand i needed to take the pictures but i do remember everything the best i can!

So this is how she started when i got her from the pick and pull!

Then i put her ran it for about 1000 miles And developed a knocking sound

(spun a bearing in the bottom end due to heat and oil issue).

So then i had to go and do this!

But because i did all that i had to order some goodies cause i wasnt putting stock stuff back in!!!

Oh and forged i beams idk what happend to my picture.

Then i bored the block .20 over align bored it, Decked and checked for stress.

And here comes to fun fun stuff started putting it back together.

Got to the heads tomorrow the timing and covers are going on cleaned everything up today the heads turned out so clean im happy with the results.
Replaced the water pump with a brand new stewart one
Replaced the oil pump with a brand new ford racing one (or factory high volume pump)
Replaced all head bolts and main bolts with frpp
Bumped the compression to 10.8:1
Accel coils
Ported throttle body
Jlt Rai
Total Seal rings
Clevite bearings
Set up for a 150 shot of nitrous!

Next on my to do list is Short Runner Manifold
and fuel to handle all this.

Also on a side note my dog passed away today and i put this together to kinda stop thinking about it. He was a great and good dog RIP Binks.

thx for the visual stimulation - sorry about Binks. Smash your thumb with a hammer - that will get your mind off of your loss

Nice build up. You mention using Nitrous. I have a Zex wet kit for sale if you are interested.

this makes me wanna go the my pick and pull and grab one. but they never have any cobras or mark 8's or anything good.
nice work man

1989Gt. · October 30th, 2011, 11:24 PM

Well you just gotta locate one i see alot of 93-96 mark 8s but i got lucky with the 97 i pulled just keep looking! Its well worth it.

drakkhen20 · October 30th, 2011, 11:28 PM

are you getting fr500 heads for it? because you know those mk8 heads arent designed to flow like you would want them to with that cobra intake. i mean for the 4 valves is always a good swap coming from the SOHC underpowered npi but those heads have limits. good pictures though, i have thought about doing that myself cuz i have a scrap yard that has those by the dozens.

1989Gt. · October 31st, 2011, 12:35 AM

Fr500 heads arent the only way to get power out of a 4v. Hence the reason i bumped the compression up a bit. Also the b heads i have are the exact same as the cobra. its the intake cams that make the difference which i have the cobra cams.....

JakeM · November 1st, 2011, 04:48 AM

Look awesome! Plan on running E85? What is your E/T or power goal? Looks like it's going to be a lot of fun!

1989Gt. · November 1st, 2011, 04:52 AM

block looks pretty clean huh? even the heads turned out absolutely amazing in my eyes amazing what a little elbow grease and 4 cans of brake cleaner and water will do!

1989Gt. · November 6th, 2011, 01:19 AM

Final product ready to be installed as is.
