Yes it was. I would further embarrass him and find out what Mustang board he belongs to and post that vid. I'm sure he belongs to some kind of forums.

The four door model would be the MP3.

I meant MP5. I though you had a friend with one.

I enjoyed the footage. Oopsie with the G8 that kissed the wall. Was the camera car your friend with the MP3?

I used to think that 550's were good for 500rwhp myself. I thought guys were crazy for running 720cc's for that power level until I studied this. http://www.rceng.com/technical.aspx I was still not convinced that I needed that big of injectors until I started street tuning with my map ecu...

How did it go? Were you able to get it off without tilting the engine forward?

What supporting mods to you have now?

Here's an update: You guys remember when my idle was hunting around and dying out at times? Last time I replaced my cps oring because it was leaking. I line up the hole with the notch on the cps and put it back in with the crank pulley showing 0 piston #1 at TDC on the compression stroke. I...

All engines have a small percentage of leakage past the rings. That's normal. Big horsepower turbo engines have to run larger ring gaps than what factory specs call for. If not their rings can bind under heavy load and break ringlands.

Cool, can't wait to see it..

Nope. Really don't have the time to mess with it. I did a cylinder leakage test on it not long ago, and again confirmed that #1 cylinder is not doing good. The air pressure was blowing by the rings. Air was coming out of the crankcase ventilation ports. I couldn't hear any come out of the...

As far as leakdown test goes cylinders 2-6 look good. #1 raises concern being close to the 10-15% leakage problem area. TSRM states compression numbers for a healthy motor would be 158psi and up. 128psi being the lowest, and anything under is a problem. I know 9% leakage isn't good...

You obviously have money to do this swap/build. Don't go the twin ct26 route. Why not build one hell of a 408 stroker with aftermarket heads, cam, and intake? You could easily have a 600+ hp n/a powerplant. Add a 150 shot of nitrous and you're close to 800hp powerplant. Why bother with all...

Just two weeks and you're throwing in the towel? Why the sudden change of heart?

Are you laying down to strips of rubber after the burnout?

I'm not sure when I'm going to be able to pull the engine to look further into it, but I'll post pics when I do.

Would loosening the motor mounts, removing the trans crossmember, and jacking up the tailshaft until it hits the tunnel help a little? I'm not sure how much that would tilt the engine forward, but it probably can give you a little more room.

Did you get your firing order correct? Is it timed correctly?
