Clearence with phenolic spacer


Clearence with bonnet shut




There is basicly stuff all room and if i hadnt had the shaker there it would rub on the bracing....
Theres no way the shaker is going to fit even if i modified it so...

Good to see it back together!
Does the boss bonnet mean we are putting the shaker on my ute?

Yes its good to finaly get it back on the road, yh if your after the shaker mate we can discuss it further.

Btw the leads dont fit properly had to swap 1 with 5 for them to have enough length wtf????.

the big question is????? how does she run????

Just about to put oil and water into it, add battery and hopefully vroom vroom.

Well after all that put key in ignition turn it and it just keeps winding over but wont start

Giving up for the night ill get on it in the morning.

Fuel lines on right?

Ill check that 1st thing tomorrow, ill go over everything its probably something simple.

YES IT RUNS AND DRIVES .

Big thanks to Troyman and TerroristGhia for there help trouble shooting, advice and the brawn.

Troyman and i went over the fuel lines and found that they were on wrong, pulled the manifold off and checked my work on the adjustment on the valves which i was very close to correct on.

Put it all back together and tried to start it again and... no spark .

Day light had run out and Troyman had business to attend to so i left it at that till i could work out what was wrong.

Figured out on friday night that the leads were on wrong so i changed it and it started and idled (like a supra but it ran), something was still amiss AND i located what was spark jumping from the lead to #4 primary pipe on the extractors.

TerroristGhia lent his abilities late this afternoon in fitting the new fibreglass boss bonnet and fixing the the leads for me as i messed up 6 and 7 on the coil packs....

It started and ran and sounded like it was firing on all 8 again and nicely too, but it still has a small miss which maybe attributed to using the old coil packs during trouble shooting.. atleast i can get around now and jason doesnt have to walk to school in the cold rain again thanks guys.

So a few minor things to sort out now and then i can put some miles on it, i miss driving it.

Have rego in 3 weeks so idk if ill be able to get her down wsid before then but ill def have it down there before anymore modifications are done regarding hp.

Will add the sound files from the camera tonight.

awesome dude, had a feeling last night a lead might have been mixed up...

Changed over to the msd coils and its missing but ive got a s**t load of leads off TerroristGhia that im going to try tomorrow.

Just uploading to youtube now, vids arnt great but wtf you gonna do lol.

Use good speakers.

btw i think that sqeeking sound isnt the powersteering, i think its the cam synchroniser...

sound much better than it did... best way to rule out powersteering or idler pull the belt off and start it for a minute, if the squeak is still there its the cam sensor...

Ive been on youtube watching the vids of the 3.8ltr mustangs that have this issue, sounds exactly the same

Cam Syncroniser.
Cheap and easy fix. I think I have one kicking around here somewhere as well.
Order it from Rock Auto.
