Work In Progress

[musclemerc]

I have a few things on my shop bench that are almost ready for release.

1) **DONE** My 1st CAI is built and heading off to the mold next week so hopefully shortly after we can have another option for CAI.
My CAI will not rub the hood liner and will not have a heatshield. I made a completely enclosed box that pulls air in from the stock location behind the DS headlamp. RAI will be afterwards!

2) I have a completly new cooling mod that will be offered 2 ways. an on the cheap and an exact copy of my cooling mod. Neither will connect to the crossover tube so no "T" adapter's, no welding, brazing, or hoses to cut.. Both will make use of 5/8" tubing so your rear cylinder's will LOVE you for this mod.

3)I am getting ready to soon do my cam swap so I will make a full DIY on the install of advanced cams

4)Whenever I get time I gotta start welding and prepping for the SC pipes and IC piping as well. I may run a special on my CA's so I can get moving on this.

If you guy's have something I may need to consider for the future shoot me a PM. :burnout:

[ImpalaSlayer]

DIY Eaton conversion items like the tensioner, alternator brackets and EGR Relocation kit for us that have no talent/ambition....and live in California.

[TAKEDOWN]

Wow... You sure don't mess around!

[burt ragio]

Eaton conversion EGR relocation kit. Easton conversion crossover pipe. Front coil over for Bilstein shocks. Charcoal cabin filters.

[ctrlraven]

I'll be keeping an eye on the cai/rai and rear cooling mod.

[slickster]

Keep up the good work. Can't wait to see the new cai. I know everyone will have this cooling mod. :)

[Big Black Beast]

Neat! Always nice to have options...

[justbob]

Might think about adjustable front tubular lower control arms.

An easy venture would be an adjustable tubular trans cross member with 3"/4" pipe for exhaust pass thru's. Maybe get with Brian and see what he needed to do to fit that 4R100 and see if maybe a flippable version would work?

I am getting ready to soon do my cam swap so I will make a full DIY on the install of advanced cams

I always said the same thing: "Oh boy, when I degree my cams, I'm going to do a writeup!" haha
When you're balls-deep into it, unless you have another person there, you aren't taking pictures. you're trying to keep your eye on the degree wheel, and the indicator, and then locking and unlocking the cam(s) at various times, unless you have a dedicated camera person, you're not going to get it captured in a useful way. at least I couldn't.

I hope you have more luck in getting a camera person than i did.

i like that idea, ummmm 4R100 sounds really good.

[Drewstang]

[MercNasty]

Does your cooling kit work with the Trilogy setup?

There comming, the MFG needs time to do his thing,

Yes, every mod is done by me, I have no help.

Soon after I get done with the N/A kit.

When I originaly did my cooling mod it was this time last year.
After I inspected the parts I was disapointed to say the least.
Here is the original thread I wrote:
http://www.mercurymarauder.net/forums/showthread.php?t=63462

I was dissapointed that the kit was only 1/2" diameter hose and well being myself, I thought I gotta fix it! so I made mind 5/8" diameter hose. The more fluid you can move the better. The kit also came with a weld in bung (much like the competition) and after pricing in taking it to a tig welder and redoing the powder coat I figured that would cost a boatload. Then I thought about trying to use a rod and MAP gas, but you gotta buy the MAP kit, then teach yourself how to braze. Now in all honesty I can tig and braze but this is suppose to be something a regular Joe can do..... Right? Tig welders charge because it takes time, brazing for a first time is also not a very easy task and WILL take more than 1 rod for a beginner

I ended up putting the entire kit in the trash, with the exception of the fittings. That's where the gold is, they are regular 1/2" NPT so you can get as wild as you like with hose diameter 5/8, 3/4",1". Were cooling cylinders here so dont attempt to do it with 1/2" hose.

I have been in close contact with "The Authorized Manufacturer" or these connectors and will offer them in a kit.

IF YOU DO NOT WANT THE KIT AND WANT JUST CONNECTORS THEY WILL BE AVAILABLE!!! http://www.evenflowcooling.com/Dsc01876.jpg

[J.bo]

You can count me in for a set.

[musclemerc]

I got you J.Bo!!!

Thanks!

[TAKEDOWN]

Wow.. your wife is gonna need a new purse to put ALL that money into Travis, LOL! I can't wait to see what else you have in store, gettin' excited over here.

[05crownsport]

Will the cooling mod work on a two valve?

[TooManyFords]

3)I am getting ready to soon do my cam swap so I will make a full DIY on the install of advanced cams


Can you move this up a few weeks? I have a set of Comp Cams (biggest they make) I need to install in about 4 weeks and this would come in handy. Are you also demoing the degreeing and using lower sprockets to adjust if necessary?

[musclemerc]

I will try but , i've been a little busy :D and then to boot I got MMBLUE's Marauder and new engine delivered today. I'd be nice if he had a set, considering I have an engine on a stand. He tried to get my set but the 96 intake cam's are almost impossible to find.

[musclemerc]

I had a talk with an old friend of mine at JL Audio today. I think I'm gonna start suppling the lineup as well. The 6.5" sub is very impressive in our stock enclosure and they also carry 5x7 and 6x9 in both coaxial and component's

[ctrlraven]

I used to swing from JL's nuts all the time cause I got their stuff 65% off from the company I worked for plus it was quality gear. lol Only bad thing was I could only make one purchase per year. Think you might sell other stuff like a bigger sub or amps down the road if the car audio biz picks up?

How about other stuff like Badgeless Grilles?

[whitey]

[Vostok]

Just wanted to say thanks for being such an asset to the community. Keep up the good work. :)

[MOTOWN]

speaking of mods, whats the status on the rear head cooling mod?

[musclemerc]

I'm building my site right now. After I get it laid out it will be posted there, it's gonna be offered in 2 form's
1)I'm working with Lethal Performance to make an exact version of my cooling mod
2)I will also offer an on the cheap cooling mod that use's a modified brass freeze plug

Both will use 5/8" hose for more flow and will connect to the rear of the engine, when installed it will be completely out of site

[ctrlraven]

Travis, I will probably end up doing the cooling mod sometime this year once you get things up and running. Just need to bribe ImpalaSlayer with something so he will install it for me. lol

ill take one as soon as your ready bud!:beer:

[Marauder Rick]

I've got one.... How about a metal gear to replace the little crappy plastic gear that keeps breaking in everyones foot pedal adjustment mechinism. That would be something that you would probably sell to everyone on this site. Or at least the ones that adjust their pedals.

[musclemerc]

I'm running the stock rear tire's. I know how alot of you feel about them but, I like them and have always run them. I made a new friend and now i'm offering the stock rear tires for the member's that like to run them.

The tire's will be offered on the cheap so anyone that want's them will be able to get them. Musclemerc.com (http://www.musclemerc.com) will now have access to 200 rear tire's for the membership
