I've built several motors, and the 7M was by FAR the hardest. Its not much different from any other engine in terms of what it takes to actually put it together, BUT the 7M is has very tight specs. Everything must be done to EXACT specs or it will not turn out the way you want it. Make sure you...
I would, but I would jus gasket match the intake and exhaust ports. As well as the intake and exhaust mani's to match.
In fact, Im prolly gonna do it here pretty soon.
Any major, or "real" porting, such as around the valve area, I would NOT do myself. Ive heard many stories about people...
Look good Jayson.
You're car looks much cleaner than when I saw it in TX.
I still think youre muffler isnt very photogenic. Looks all weird. :icon_eek:
Mine is adjustable. I only get that sound if I barely boost (1-2 psi) and then shift. If I boost any higher, Im cool. So, should I adjust it a lil softer or not worry about it?
wha is lots and lots of surge? is that wha it sounds like? cuz if it does, then im in trouble too. guess i need to adjust my HKS SSQ, I get that sound if I only boost a lil bit (like normal driving)
"Best" is a opinionated word. I happen to think my exhaust is one of the best Ive heard. It consists of a BIC DDP, BIC Race Testpipe, custom 3" HKS Carbon/Ti catback. Sounds deep and throaty. Ive had nothing but compliments about it. I'll get a video clip up soon.
Pretty much any full 3"...
This guy has the right attitude.
Do you guys realize that the 5.0 has the 2nd largest aftermarket of any engine? You could mod a 5.0 for WAY less than you could a 7M, 1JZ, 2JZ, or whatever. I say do it, then let the car do the talkin later. Goodluck with the swap, make sure to take pics...
My stock clutch engages almost as soon as I let the pedal out, I would say maybe a 1/4 of the way out. 3/4 of the way out is crazy pedal travel, or is that normal??. My friends 5.0 Stang is like that AND its a cable clutch, I HATE IT.
How do you know its NOS? Could be a Nitrous Express kit. Dont mean to sound like a dick, but the mis-use of the term "NOS" jus pisses me off.
NOS = Nitrous Oxide Systems (a brand name)
