A certain 66 Mustang May find its way! (HINT HINT In less than a week and swipe of the Card)


Topend and a few Basement Garage Folk were Key People in my latest turn out!

[VIPERBLUELX]

haven't got a chance to look at all of it but what i've seen looks great, who did the site?

[Shaine]

site looks great guys! keep up the good, quality work and ya'll will be around for a long time!

[FSTENUF]

The site looks good. If you're open to suggestions, I have one. :) I realize that it's a work in progress, but I think it would be better to have photos of your work in the customer's cars section. Overall shots are great to have on there, but I would like to see shots of the particular components that you guys fabricated and/or installed as well.

I agree with him. I think you should set up a list of what you did and specefic pictures of what you worked on. I think it looks great:nice:

I guess the moral of the story is your only as good as the people you let prep your block. Long story short, they (I do not care to indulge their name; don't want no drama) were to machine the deck with the o-rings in the block to keep from having to order new rods due to compression issues; if we decked it to remove the o-rings we would have had to use so thick of a Cometic head gasket that I wouldn't have felt comfortable with it. Well, once I got the engine broken in and on the dyno at Panhandle everything was going smooth as butter during the drive ability tuning (it is to be a semi-street car), until we started to make some full pulls. Under high boost pulls we started getting water dripping onto the floor and water coming out the exhaust (not much, just a trickle here and there). What was weird is that as soon as you got out of it and let it idle or just drove it normal on the dyno there was no leak to be found anywhere. We really couldn't pin point where the water was coming from because it would only leak under full throttle pulls. I probably could have ignored the water leak and just finished tuning it and took my chances, but I didn't want to leave any power on the table. After awhile of trying to decide what to do (either leave the car, or bring the car back home and remove the engine and ship it back to them), Mark at Panhandle offered to let me remove the engine while we were there and he would pull the heads and see what he could find later the next week (this was late in the evening on Sat. and Mark had Holiday and family guests coming over to his house due to this being in the middle of Dec.) Once he got the heads off he called stating that he had found the problem with the water. Apparently when the block was being decked with the o-rings in it everything went smooth on the passenger side, but on the drivers side the o-ring lifted on the #8 cylinder. Mark stated that the material used to fill the gap was JB weld (his best guess) and the water was just pushing past it under boost. Mark said he would rather machine past the o-rings which would mean either using a very thick Cometic gasket or different rods. I asked Mark if it were his car what he would do, he stated get new rods and stay away from the thick gaskets. I agreed and he disassembled the rest of the block to see what rods he needed to order. I then received another call from Mark stating that he had found another machining issue. Apparently when the #1 cylinder was being bored, either the machine had gotten off or the block moved and there was a very fine half moon cut in the cylinder wall (Mark found this after deciding that he had better go over the bare block with a fine tooth comb after finding the patch on the deck), this explaining a little oil bleed by we were seeing at times. Now knowing we were going to have to bore this cylinder, I asked Mark to look over everything that I had(crank,rods,pistons,cam,heads, everything...) and let me know what he thought. He called me back and stated the heads were ported by TEA and the only thing they needed were better valve springs for higher RPM, as for the rest he stated if I ever wanted to really lean on the R-block I was limited due to the rotating assembly I had. He also wasn't too happy with the cam either. I then told Mark to build the motor as if he were building it for himself. That is the long and short of it! So now I have a complete rotating assembly with Eagle rods and Ross pistons to sale, along with a very low milage special ground Comp cam, pushrods, and roller rockers. I'll probably be stuck with the cam though, unless you want to build a turbo car! LOL!!! It's been fun hearing all the rumors that it grenaded on the dyno, the block was ruined, and I was having to start from scratch; I guess the starting from scratch was true for the rotating assembly though, but by choice and not necessity! :peace:
