I accomplished a few other things today as well. I got all the paint stripped off my valve covers using some spray on paint stripper. It worked great! I also made it down to Autozone and picked up a TON of vac line. I actually tapped out their stock! :biglaugh: I have been off work for 17...

The other thing I decided to do was mount up the new motor mounts. Compliments of Fred! :)

Ok. My first hitch in the giddy up. The new turbo has no mount for the dip stick tube. So, I had to fab something up. I decided to use some aluminum bar stock I had laying around. The brace clears everything just fine and is quite sturdy.

Dude, I gotta say. The best part about picture #3 is GT4!! :biglaugh:

Thanks! The color is Rust-Oleum "Old Ford Blue". And no sweat on the cams. They're a bit out of reach for me right now anyway. I just want to get this thing back on the road and feel that new turbo spool!! :)

Thanks! It's funny you mentioned videos because my wife got me a HD GoPro Camera for Christmas!! Woo Hoo!! :biglaugh: Very Nice! I can't wait to see this thing sitting the engine bay. It's going to be a whole new look! Still toying with the ATI idea. I know...I need to just do it...

It sounds like JT is the man to ask! :)

The block is iron. The reason you have to machine both the block and head isn't merited by the type of metal. It's to meet the minimum RA (roughness) spec of whatever MHG you use. Each MHG manufacturer has their own requirements. If those requirements aren't met, the gasket will not...

He said that he bought it from www.notrice.com. A guy named Jeff Tamulous. Or something like that... Same Jeff maybe? Mine also says "Boss Series" on the exhaust housing. If that helps any... I'll give Jeff a call.

We all have those days grim. Hey! I finally posted a pic of my turbo on my build thread. Could you go check it out and see if it looks like yours? The guy I got it from told me it was an SP61 when I bought it; but, the last time I talked to him, he told me that it is a JT62.

Here's where I stopped for today. The turbo is fully mounted and both soft lines connected. Almost done! :)

I got the exhaust manifold torq'd in with a new gasket and also managed to get the new turbo mounted.

Here's my new OBX Power Steering Pump Pulley. Also note, the power steering bracket that I "semi-polished". Hopefully it won't rust too quickly! This pic shows the whole front and if you look in the upper left corner, you'll see a flat black thermostat housing and flat black power steering...

Here's a freshly painted power steering bracket brace.

Here's a motor mount bracket all cleaned up. I didn't know they were aluminum. It's amazing how different things look cleaned up! Here's a LIPP soft line turbo return flange. And here's the turbo oil feed fitting.

'Woodruff Key'. I learned something new today! Thanks! :) It wasn't in the engine bay. I took the stock pulley off to install an OBX. That explains how it ended up on my parts washer tray. Silly me... ;)

Ha! I just figured it out. It's a little keeper that goes on the shaft. It holds the pulley on. Now I know. And so do you! ;)

After I pulled my powersteering pump off my parts washer tray, this was sitting there. I really doubt it came from inside the pump. It is however small enough that it could've come out of the tube that plumbs into the bottom of the PS Res. My guess is that this is something that has been...

Today, things are starting to look pretty good. I got the cams torq'd in and most of the front portion of the motor assembled. Take special note to my newly painted rear cam cover, cam gears (I still have to mark the timing marks in white), and polished lower timing cover. I still haven't...
