rebuilt my motor December 10, 2007, 06:38:33 PM Its only been 2½ months Finally posting that I’m complete w/my rebuilding of motor. Here we go starting from the bottom. ROTATING ASSEMBLY is stock E7 crank cut .020 fresh rings & bearings. Fulton street machine shop in Farmingdale did all my machine work. Mellling high volume oil pump new pick-up and pan.CAMSHAFT TFS-1 not degreed just put in at “0”HEADS GT40 irons milled .040 w/a .039 compressed felpro 1011-2 gasket approx 10:1 compression. Exhaust side is mildly ported thematic bump grinded down; intake side just touched the impurity’s inside and the bur on the end (not much I now)INTAKE explorer GT40 touched a little w/the grinder same as the intake side of the heads TB 70mm BBK, EGR eliminator bracket Still running the 19lb injectors and stock mass air meter (right now this is my weak point) I did inquire 24lbers from a J/K 460 for free but have no maf to match right now.BBK fuel pressure regBBK cold air EXAUST-FRPP shorty headers to BBK X-pipe (no cats) to straight pipes going out back. Need s to loud right now. Other HP helpers Smog pump deletedA/C deleted Electric fanChuckW motor mountsHigh energy ignition coil FRPP wiresTRANSMISSION- Lentech street terminator with O/D delete switchWith a 2600-2800 stall converter REAR still stock 7.5 w/3.55 in it. Soon upgrade T/C 8.8 rear in garage waiting not decided what gears to run though 3.55, 3.73, or 4.11Other late mod is 140 Speedo that I’m still trying to figure out. Took all summer to rebuild, finally cranked it over/started it at the end of September still no time to drive it finally posting this by the time I’m done w/this car it will truly be a classic.OK heres my dumb/I’m still a kid question what’s some of your opinions of how much power I’m making (FHP or gross)(FHP w/ac or NET) and (GWHP or rear wheel NET) and (GWHP or rear wheel)Short and sweet video gotta get s, but it’s the car at idle showing off the thundercat electronics sequential taillights some motor pics Before I put the motor in I put some fresh paint on, wish I didn’t rush it though but it came out better then I thought for a rush job.heres the lentech trany next to the AOD check out the shaftsthe old stall next to the newer stall converter the O/D delete switch Quote Selected
rebuilt my motor Reply #2 – December 10, 2007, 09:28:09 PM Sounds like a nice combination, but please put some lers on it! Nice looking engine bay. I would go with a 3.73 or 4.11, depends on what type of driving you will be doing. I am no good at guessing hp.Jim Quote Selected

rebuilt my motor Reply #4 – December 11, 2007, 07:57:57 AM I'd say you're not too far behind me Bill, Maybe 25-30 less, but you have 3.55's as opposed to my 3.27's What's the weight like?Oh yeah, I gotta get me one of Carm's light kits! Quote Selected

rebuilt my motor Reply #7 – December 11, 2007, 01:00:50 PM Thanks guysYes now that I figured out youtube ill try and get more video of my car what you saw wasn’t intended for the engine running it was actually for the taillights but I figured while I’m filming I might as well have the engine running. I installed them thanksgiving morning that’s when I get time to do things.My guess on horsepower is staring at a 225 net HP E7 motor.Better breathing heads cam intake at least 40hpCompression a full point the book says 30hp Other helpers exhaust, pulleys a/c & s/p delete elect/fan etc. another 25-30 hpAbout a 100hp gain.Id say it’s safe to say 300 but hope its 325.But I don’t know.

rebuilt my motor Reply #9 – December 11, 2007, 04:56:37 PM For gears I'd go with 3.73s. My combo is almost the same as yours (I have a different cam) and it really likes the 3.73 gears Quote Selected
rebuilt my motor Reply #10 – December 11, 2007, 09:01:28 PM Now all you need to do is junk those shorty headers and go with a set of long-tubes. :hick: Looking good...get some slicks and gears in that T/C rear and use that transbrake...I want to see what this thing will run! Quote Selected

There is no way I’m paying 140 for a set and it is going to give me no performance gain Quote Selected
