Stimmel1647545512 Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 Well today I was going to do an oil change on White Lightning and check the plugs in the 5.0 and just a few routine check ups. I climb under the car and see that the 90k stock oil pan gasket is leaking, along with the valve cover gaskets, those of you whom have owned a 5.0 or have ever seen one knows upper intake must come off for valve cover gaskets boo to that....Well anyways I take the upper intake off and after about an hour if hiding/fixing wiring harness and cleaning up shit I remember that I had a GT-40 intake laying around along with a bunch of other goodies so I said F' it might as well pull the motor..... The car is an 88 GT 5.0 5 speed, mods as of now will be.. -Mass air conversion -GT-40 Intake with spacer ported by Gearhead -FRPP E303 cam/or somehting else -BBK 70mm throttle body -freshen up stock block -full length MM subframe connectors - trick flow double roller timing chain -24# injectors possibly -canton 7qt pan/windage tray -melling high volume oil pump -possibly AC delete -130 amp 3G alternator -electric fan I also plan on hiding a bunch of harnesses and cleaning up the engine bay so the car looks some what respectable. Im sure im forgetting some things here are some pics of what happened today.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miller Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 Ya it will probably be a mid to low 12's car. Nothing fast though - not like a 13.4 @ 102 car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
