longtubes are done!

B0B · March 4th, 2009, 10:56 PM

sounds like sex. mac lt's, o/r h, and flows out the back. i think i successfully installed it with no leaks, so thats good. the car drives straight and the steering wheel is centered, so it looks like that k-member is done properly. i'm excited, tomorrow morning my o2 extensions get here so i can actually hook them up and drive it. i took it around the block once but i can't get on it till those o2 sensors are on! i'll try to get a vid asap, and i should be getting dyno numbers on the 21st as well!

maybe next year. i might leave the stang and build the ranchero into a badass race car.. i'm still up in the air at this point. the stang is already getting to the point where its turning into a racecar and i want to be able to have a reliable car to drive.. anything more and i'll be dumping a ton of money into it, its pretty much maxxed out except for gears and axles. otherwise i'll be doing heads, cams, and forged.. thats a lot of $$

if you have all the parts in front of you and a buddy to help you can probably get it done in one day if you start in on it early.

disconnect 8 bolts hold the k-member in place
engine mount nuts
k-member brace
disconnect steering
disconnect struts
brake lines
abs lines
powersteering cooler lines
remove swaybar
pull k-member
remove midpipe
remove manifolds
remove starter
remove pass side motor mount
switch o2 sensors back over to new headers/mid pipe
install and torque new headers

reverse all previous steps plus bleeding the brakes and filling p/s fluid

and everything i didn't list here that i forgot.. its a pretty big project man

Fluffy The Rhino · March 4th, 2009, 11:38 PM

It's a huge pain in the balls. headers through exhaust on mine was the first thing I've ever done to a car. But... it's well worth the bloody knuckles and angry words : D

moosenuk17 · March 4th, 2009, 11:40 PM

congratz bro!

moosenuk17 · March 4th, 2009, 11:40 PM

what k member?

wishIhada5.0 · March 4th, 2009, 11:41 PM

I think Im jus goona tie off the callipers and the steering rack so I can avoid all the bleeding lines PITA

lol

moosenuk17 · March 4th, 2009, 11:43 PM

^^good idea....do it!

wishIhada5.0 · March 4th, 2009, 11:45 PM

While I have the K member out I think im gonna throw in some new motor mounts too

Dcskater602 · March 5th, 2009, 12:13 AM

technically, if u drop the kmember... u shouldget it aligned

nice job though... im jealous

wishIhada5.0 · March 5th, 2009, 12:14 AM

+1 on alignment

chefalan23 · March 5th, 2009, 01:02 AM

i'm seriously jealous. i had a set of bbk longtubes and o/r h to put on my car but i decided that buying a house was a bigger priority than getting headers for my car.

wishIhada5.0 · March 5th, 2009, 01:25 AM

who needs a house when you have a bad ass stang?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! hahahahahahahaha

XectriK · March 5th, 2009, 06:27 AM

You can live in your car. You cannot drive your house.

See what I did there?
