The madness continues!!!!!!

[MOTOWN]

Today i finally picked up my 10.1 Aluminator long block:banana2: ill add pics as i progress with my build.

Im going to use a Innovators west 7.5" (15% overdrive balancer), a Prw sfi flexplate, Moroso deep sump aluminum oil pan, and a custom sheetmetal intake (hogans).

This is my first ford crate motor i was immpressed that it came intake gaskets, exhaust studs/gaskets, thermostat, spark plugs, tensioner, and a few other goodies!

Quick question: could you post a link or part number to the flex plate? I'm close to finishing my build and the flex plate is the last item on my list.

That engine is bitchen. You are going to make so much power it won't even be funny.
I love the value covers and the coil covers.
Are you planning a whipple or what?
I am subscribing to this build. I hope for a video of hearing it run and seeing it in
the car.
Best of luck on your project.
Stay Safe.

Wow! Some modifications will definitely need to be done to fit that baby in there. Keep us posted as to what or how you plan on doing that!

[sailsmen]

Good Luck with the build.

The most critical part to develop consistant power is the drive system for the S/C. Off by one washer on one pullley is all it takes to throw off the system.

Use OEM or Vortech or Procharger pulleys when you can.

I just replaced a Vortech pulley with a Procharger that had to be machined. The Procharger had 2 bearings vs the Vortech which had one bearing.

[MOTOWN]

Speaking of pulleys ive converted to an 8 rib setup using motorcraft pulleys ive got the alternator, power steering, a/c clucth pulley, and an 8 rib innovators west balancer, all thats left are the two idler pulleys, i got the pulleys from rock auto.

A 2001 lincoln navigator is a excellent donor car!

The Innovator West may require grinding on the Timing Cover. If so seal those areas or you may have an oil leak.

I recc Meth for your set up.

[LANDY]

The crank sensor block is the one that needs to be grinded.

Exactly what type of oil leak did you have? was your cover cracked, did you remove too much material?

[sailsmen]

Exactly what type of oil leak did you have? was your cover cracked, did you remove too much material?

Where grinding was done exactly per the instructions. It made the grinded area porous enough to have an oil leak. Innovator says that occasionally happens.

I wish they would have noted that in the instructions, would have saved a lot of time and frustration.

I suggest you seal up any areas that are ground.

[LANDY]

[sailsmen]

that only happens when the person that did the job doesn't pay attention to detail.

That's not what Innovators said. I don't recall you being there when the job was done.

Either way when you start modding your car things are going to happen. Every thing is not exactly alike.

I am giving a heads up to a member. Thats what this site is all about.

where you pick her up from? ford not making the long block anymore right ? so if I am wrong with this information.

I ordered my motor from Summit racing, which beat ford racing123.com price, and yes ford is still making the Aluminator.

Any luck on the piping?

Actually yes! i talked to james at weldcraft and his fab/tech guy Chris gave me two options :weld together some tubing, or take measurements, and have a local aircraft supplier custom make a set of mandrel bent seemless aircrat tubing!:banana2:

Im leaning towards the last option!

Ill be droping my car off soon so they can get the intercooler mounts fabed up, and mounted so things are slowly moving along, i also got notice from Tony at superchargers online that my s/c mounting bracket assembly shipped today.

My circle D T/C will be here thursday so im just about ready to do the motor swap, the hogan intake will be the hold out part at 7-10 weeks to fabricate:bigcry:

Sweeeeet, glad to hear you're making progress.

That second option would be the way i'd like to go also. If i was a better welder, i'd probably give it a shot.

Well overall the build is fairly simple, a 10.1 aluminator, vortech V7 YSI, hogans sheetmetal intake, precision 825 hp air to air intercooler, circle d 3,000 stall converter, a full return fuel system, 80lb injectors, twin walbro 400lph fuel pumps,dual modified fpdm's, accufab single blade t/b, innovators west 15% OD (7.5") balancer, 8 rib pulley conversion, and a whole bunch of supporting mods!:banana:

what make and model fans did you get?

[Mercguy04]

Hay Roger,
Extremely nice set up. You seen to make all the right choices, and it look well planned
out. I would love to see and hear it run. I'm sure there is still a lot of work to be done

I haven't been around a lot lately. but I see you are not waiting around.
When the strobes and wig wag going in? LOL.
The Chevy you showed is a 60 Impala. Can't see the badging so I don't know the
engine size.

The inclosed photo is of a Vortex install I did on my 96 Impala SS 383 Converted
to a LT4 with LS1 ignition. Linginfelder LT4 heads. Viper 6 speed T56 Zoom Clutch
pressure plate & Throw out bearing, McLoad Steel flywheel. 4:56 Posi. Mosier Axles
Baer Brakes. I could go on but you know

Roger you are doing a great job. I so enjoyed the planning and the build. Almost as good sex.
Thanks for some real fun.

I went with Be cool qualifier daul high performance puller fans part #134-75007

Well i finally picked my car up from the fab shop, heres a few pics of what was done ,i had Tim Hogan call the fab shop to give him the dimensions of the sheetmetal intake so the intercooler pipe could mate directly with the throttle body eliminating the need for an "elbow" s/c pipes are T304 SS (16 gauge) so it wont rust or corrode i am really impressed with the way everything turned out.

I put my MM on a UHaul trailer and rented a UHaul truck to tow it. Apparently there are 2 UHaul trailers. Get the one for the Grand Marquis. The front straps are not long enough to go over our 18" wheels. Either let some air out or extend the straps.

I think you need a bigger air filter. :lol: LOL

I have seen a number of MMs where the air filter is under sized. The air filter on my MM is the min for my HP.

[Blown3.8]

If that is your intake i DON'T THINK YOU NEED THAT CROSSOVER DELETE kit you just installed. Thats what them fittings are welded in up front are for aren't they?

Them big -12 fittings you can see in the pic are for the rear right? It looks like the front ones are smaller. Or they put the inlet on the wrong side.

[guspech750]

Good eye Chris! that part of the flange will be cut on the CNC, i didnt order front water fittings, plus there only -8.

Yes the -12 are for the rear, it has a drivers side inlet

[MOTOWN]

Well mangs today my Hogans Racing sheet metal intake shows up via ups and the delivery guy is grinning ear to ear saying somebody got some mail order ponies!
Im geeked! And excited as all get up I open the box and dig it out of a ton of shredded paper hot Dayuum this thing is sweet!
I give it the once over and I quickly realize my mounting flanges don't look quite right, so I grab an intake gasket to match it up, and sure enough it's a Friggin TWO valve intake!
At this point I am livid! 7 months for this sh$! so I call Tim Hogan and try not to curse as I explained my self, he says I thought Marauders were two valve deals?
I explain to him that they came 4valved from the factory!
So after much use of 4 letter words to describe my frustration Tim was a gentleman and a stand up guy about the whole thing and said he can have another one ready in about two weeks.
Shat happens I guess!
