Thanks fellas. Its nice actually getting to put stuff back on the car.

Ok got the tires mounted on the new wheels today and they look amazing. Also got the differential pulled out, put a arms and steering rack on the new k member and got the fuel lines routed as well.

That is how the rear axle should look from the factory!

 

[jrhaden]

Yeah I fully agree.

 

[jrhaden]

K member is all put together. Struts got the front springs put on with the GT500 strut mounts. Also couple pics of the Magnaflow Comp catback mufflers.

Well I got the Tru Trac in today. Still waiting on the diff cover to get it all buttoned back up. But axles are in and brakes are on.

Out of all this car porn I am most excited to see how those wheels look on your car. LOL

Silly question but when the axle tubes were welded was the rear end in a jig to check for trueness? I noticed that the brace was welded on with the rear end on jack stands. Adding heat to one side of an axle tube can cause it to curl up. That's how they used to add camber to solid rear axles back in the day.

I have never done this so take what I say with a grain of salt.

Thanks and yeah I can't wait to lower it down on those wheels.

The rear was all braced, preheated and heated cool down also.

Got the heads all cleaned up and the new MMR valve springs and retainers installed. Also got the freeze plugs popped out for the MMR head cooling mod as well.

 

[TexasStang4585]

Nice what can you shift at safely at now with upgraded springs?

Not sure. It won't be going over 7kish

Got the rearend all finished up finally. Got the FRPP diff cover on and it fits great and clears the panhard no problem. Also got the MMR head cooling mod pieces put on the heads.

Few shots from the engine builder as well. Had a delay with one of the rods having a bolt seized up in it. Hoping to get motor installed this weekend now.

Was kinda unsure on this as it looks like its upside down but its the only way for them to go.

Motor got dropped off today. Biiiiiiiiiiig thanks to Shaun Sweeten of Sweetens performance in Pocola, Oklahoma. He did an amazing job on the machine work and assembly of the shortblock.

Specs are
+.005 Manley Pistons
Manley Rods w/ARP bolts
Stock crank rebalanced with new rods/pistons
ARP main and head studs
MMR billet oil pump gears
MMR head cooling mod
MMR valve springs
Oil squirter deletes

 

[slagburn]

Killer build!

Can you plug the crank sensor in with the RH MMR fitting in place?
