Just to start this out, Mod's please leave this in the tech section. There are quite a few things im going to have questions on and will likely get answers faster here then in the project section.

With that said the plan:
I am starting off with pretty much full bolt on's and a half pi swap. While fun at first i am now bored. So i started buying parts. First up i came across a good deal on a Bullitt intake. Its missing parts, so i am going to be on the hunt. Right now it is spray painted black, and its peeling and cracked. So i plan on having it powder coated Silver. Here is a pick as it sits now.


Next up were the cams. Was planning on going with either CMS or MHS cams. Well as everyone knows things start adding up. And when looking at stage 2 cams, the price with the cam, getting them degreed (im clueless with that) and upgraded springs i was looking at $900. Well came across a deal on Corral. One of the first guys to run the MHS recession buster cams is now going 4v. So he gave me the cams and the adjustable crank gears already degreed for a hell of a deal.




So now im looking to buy heads and the rest of the stuff i need for the bullitt swap. Im hoping to hit around 290-300hp with this combo, but not getting my hopes up. Il update the thread as i obtain more parts, and as questions come along. Thanks for viewing:)

I started to go 4v at one point. If you get a complete motor it wouldn't be bad price wise. But trying to piece everything together is the hard part. If you have plans for FI in the future I'd just stick with the ol 2v

Did you use the supplied TOB or did you buy the ford racing. Originally i was just going to replace the TOB since i replaced my clutch last time it went out at 34,000. But the price of the whole kit is only 120 more then the TOB alone.
When i did the last TOB i used the supplied one that came with my king cobra clutch and haven had any issues.
My current clutch slipped twice on me this past summer for some reason. Probably all the time i dumped the clutch are catching up with it lol.
How is the feel of the exedy? Mine is hard as hell to push in and makes long drives kinda suck.
