neonkiller Posted March 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 http://c1.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/87/l_721f6232150c4e9a9047c754966ea1ec.jpg Shitty Cell pic. New wheels fit like a glove, 5x4.5 5.5 inch back spacing and i could prolly fit a decent size rear tire under it with some stock suspension.... Both wheels sit flush with the fenders however in the rear the fenders will need to be massaged so it does not rub when takin ober some large bumps. However so fare I will def be pleased with how the wheels will fit. they are what Ive always wanted, Sucks however They will be gold in a way. But Im sure the satin black and gold wheels will look even better. Heres the engine on the engine stand and the T-5 sittin on the ground. http://c1.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/82/l_6cfb7f45844445ac80013dccfd2c46b4.jpg http://c2.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/68/l_1d30e9038a69461d92f54365b6031799.jpg http://c2.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/106/l_60da715d078f4368a400739298fe5619.jpg Now hopefully when I find the numbers on the T-5 it will be a actual world class trans and out of a 90-91 with the best stuff in it. The motor will be black along with the trans, The harmonic balancer looks really ratty might get a new one but Im gonna look into them going bad and or the benefits of using a fresh one. Pulley's have seen some better days, this things got tons of rust all over it. Oil pan is starting to rust so Im gonna replace it and or try to fix it, It will be painted gold to match the wheels Heres of the Oil Pan and the Pulley. Found out in order to pull the pan or do a Clutch the whole motor has to come out. Good thing its out... http://c3.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/100/l_e971c90969784c779863a2ffaa8b9546.jpg http://c1.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/110/l_58e5e904dc824ceeb99ab00ab246a668.jpg This kinda made me ponder a lil oil in the bell housing of the trans..... http://c1.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/80/l_5abd57714e3e4f768e6a92c540afe420.jpg Hopefully new seals will prevent this.... http://c2.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/94/l_f911992af6284628a8b711732d7e788d.jpg http://c3.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/109/l_c5c2e6ab61774cff9f40e382164a5442.jpg As you can see the Engine bay has accumulated some rust. Im going to be painting it black and cleaning as much rust up as possible. sub frame has or was never been painted and the de powered power steering rack has tons of shit just fallin off of it...lol http://c1.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/106/l_c921f4e4e652426cb724d0f44d56a554.jpg as for the front of the car I will be removing that round bar and pushing everything forward as much as possible, as for the turbo will be taking up new room and I would like to get the radiator as high and as far away from the motor as possible underneath where the hood latch is to as cool the FMIC and the RAD. I would love to keep the flip ups but Im still thinking I can delete them somehow and run some really bright fog lights? Im pretty motivated on this project as its my first car i will build/ put together. Today I picked up my new Air gun and was looking at a Mig welder..... Thats all I got I will take some pics as I break the motor apart tommorow... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rl Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 Uhhhh Those are not the right pistons for that motor at all. There are no valve reliefs. at least put a set of correct 5.0HO pistons in it. Don't re-use those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neonkiller Posted March 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 Just got off the phone with RobL. Motor might be an E6....... from what he says there will be valve interferiance with the 1.7 rockers I will put in it. Gonna find numbers on the block and hope to god someone just changed the pistons. If not Ill need another short block... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Removed Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 find another short block..or fly cut them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rl Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 New pistons are only $37 each at jegs... You just need to be sure the rods and crank between the E6 and E7 motors are the same. Those might not be E6 pistons but they for sure are not the standard E7 5.0 HO pistons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rl Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 find another short block..or fly cut them Thats a lot of money into a junk set of pistons, I dont know that there is even enough material to fly cut them and still have them be strong enough to do what he wants.

rl Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 You should be able to find a shortblock for nothing. There is a complete T-bird in delaware (they have a 5.0 HO motor) for $400. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stimmel1647545512 Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 I have a complete shortblock from an 89 GT if I can get access to it its yours as for the harmonic balancer mine was all shitty and the rubber was bad and I blew it off the motor shifting at 7k once (long story) I got a fluid dampr balancer kinda pricey but look nice and are supposed to be good for some power. That crank pulley looks like a bbk underdrive either that or frpp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
