Building a hybrid is a bitch but its fun Now its all up to the quality the machine shop did on the valve reliefs...of coarse I'll turn the engine by hand to double check clearance.




Well I got the wiesco pistons with custom valve reliefs in. ARP head stud in.





086 head modified to fit the Twin Cam...the trick is to dip the drill in oil and drill small holes to out line the shape.









OBX header ready for the Quad exhaust flange.

lookin good man. keep us posted. cant wait to see this in and running.

lookin good!

Looking good, what are you gonna use to get all those shavings out of the head?

Cant wait to see a vid of this thing up and running.



2009 Ford Mustang V6

DAMN..it looks as though you're winning the race to be the first one up and running lol...

I'm still waiting to hear back from Karo about my custom head gasket

What are you doing for valve stem seals?

Also, what are you doing for a turbo?...have you been considering a Holset HY35, or HX 35?

Blow it with my air hose, send it to a machine shop to get cleaned as well.

I will run it N/A for a while until I add suspension, paint, and other things the car needs. Then low PSI of boost is down the road.

As for the valve stem seals....not sure...havent looked them up yet.

Cleaning up this VERY dirty junkyard H.O. manifold...on the left is how it first looked!

Empty bay and all the wires!

only thing i saw i dont like is the work you did on the head. i think a qualified machinist should have done that stuff. (no offense)

freaking love that strut tower brace... wonder if that work bolt on a j-body....



Needing 2.3 oil pump stuff? PM me...

Yeah I know its not perfect but it doesnt have to be the same exact shape...as long as the hole is enlarged and it doesnt pass the border line its good. Plus I saved 100+ bucks doing it myself.

I would use the coolant tank on the left.



FU Tuning

LOL....well wanna buy it then?


GMR has got nothing on this

I would, but buying a brand new one.

What are the specs on you pistons, and what headgasket are you using?

If you're going with anything thicker than stock, those valve pockets should suffice.

I bet it would. IIRC, the distance between the towers is the same.

if it works great if he did it wrong should have done more research but i wouldnt let most machine shops do that
