Stangaholic's 2.8 Kenne Bell + More Build Thread!!! (Lots of Pics)

[stangaholic280]

Well gentlemen, the day has FINALLY arrived...after so many issues just getting a blower to my house, the 2.8H KB Mammoth has arrived!! Some of you may remember that I said I was going order a 2.8LC...and I did, but KB accidentally shipped me just the 2.8H. I talked to them about shipping it back and after discussing what kind of setup I would be running I decided the extra time and $300 would not be worth the trouble at this point.

So I decided to just proceed with my build. I have spent over 10k on this build and here is what all is going to be included in this thread:

1. 2.8H KB Mammoth Kit
2. McLeod RXT Twin Disk Clutch
3. 26 Spline Input + Lethal TOB Sleeve
4. Steeda Quadrant/Fiore Firewall Adjuster
5. Lethal Return Style Fuel System/80#ers
6. Borla Stingers
7. PA Performance Alternator
8. UPR Crome-moly K-member and coilovers
9. E-85
10. Killer Chiller
11. Random small stuff

Enough Chat, lets show you how Day 1 went!!

Step 1: Clean out work area!

Here is the star of the show in all her glory!!!

Can't wait to suck up small animals with this.

Borla Stingers arrived too!!!

A free hat....that $10k was SOOO worth it!!

4 Hours later, had these things polished and ready to go with the help of my wife!!

Lets start with the KB install!!

Old school Posi Eaton setup...500 RWHP, not nearly enough!

30 Minutes of fighting with the wiring harness...

Wife is doing all the work...

Good old eaton comes loose!

Out with the old...

In with the new!! Ok well...just a new EGR valve so far lol...

The battlefield...

Well, Day 1 was a huge success!! Got the entire eaton setup pulled and broke into a few new parts all in about 4 hours. Made it to step 120 on the KB instructions...only about 400 more to go lol!!! :lol1:

Hope you guys enjoy the pictures!! :beer:

Great progress! Cant wait to see the results with the E85.

BTW, what fuel rails did you go with for the return system? You may have some moddifications to do to them so they will fit the Mammoth's base plate.

 

[03Cobrra]

I am going to be using Fore fuel rails. I can't wait to see the E85 results either, I'm hoping for 750ish give or take.

Sure thing, as soon as I figure out what I'd like to sell it for I'll let you know. Or if your anxious, feel free to make an offer. I can send details and pics if you PM me.

Talked to shop building mine today and the last thing there having to do is modify my rails due to how the mammoth sits. And best of luck on your hp goal. Everyone says they'll make excellent power if your not scared to spin it on up!

**edit** -- mine are the fore rails as well. mammoth is actually designed for use with stock rails :shrug:
