Not sure if anyone is interested in a lowly 2V, but getting closer to being finished.

[Bulldog5.0]

I know it's only a 2V, in a Vic Sport, but I am ALMOST finished with mine, and can't wait to drve it...just thought I would share for anyone interested...

[DOOM]

Looks good! :up:

[BODYMAN]

Nothing wrong with a 2V 4.6!! Ive seen more then a few of them make some killer power.

[Bradley G]

Looks good what's the goal?:)

[Bulldog5.0]

Thanks all.
MEBOT - No, just finished it and putting it back in my car
Bradley G- No real goal, just a fun sleeper. At least as far as 4000lb cars go anyway

Looks good. I like the LX Sports. I was interested in one of those when the MM came out.

[babbage]

Nice build! You need a transmission cooler when you run a smaller higher stall TC, the extra heat without it may kill the trans.

Trick Flow heads are great!
Looks like a BBK Tbody with a metal intake?
BBK Shorties?

Very nice. Engine will have as much grunt as a 4v. (Is this engine a 5.0?)

[RoyLPita]

Do you have adjustable cam gears?

[Bulldog5.0]

Do you have adjustable cam gears?
Yes, they are adjustable

[Bulldog5.0]

Well, it's in, and a sounds good out back...but another MAJOR setback...:(

Not getting any oil to the heads...sounded great behind the car, but up front, heard nothing but lifters tapping for the 1 minute it idled. Looks like it has to be pulled back out and torn down again to check the head gaskets and make sure the oil ports weren't covered up. Goos oil pressure down bottom, but the cams/rockers all dry as a bone...dammit!!!
Atleast I have a few pics of how it would look if I was able to drive it today..aside from the EGR being there becasue I forgot the blank off plate http://www.crownvic.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/default/frown.gif

Dang man sorry to hear, that thing looks beast in your engine bay. I hope you can get the issue resolved soon

[RoyLPita]

Yes, they are adjustable

That's cool.

Who makes them and what do they go for?

[Bulldog5.0]

Since I have to pull it all back apart, I will get you the P/N's and all info tonight or tomorrow

[71cyclone]

I SEE under Drive Equipped

[Bulldog5.0]

Yeah, Steeda Underdrives.

[Bulldog5.0]

That's cool.

Sorry, I wasn't able to even work on it last night and the paperwork that came with them is with the car. I will find out tonight and post the info.

[bugsyc]

Good looking build..Any idea as to HP and torque??

I have no real idea just yet. I just know it sounds really mean..except for the noisy cam followers at the moment.

[05crownsport]

I'm jealous! Looks good, but sorry to hear of the trouble with the oiling. I can't wait to hear it.:beer:

[HiHoSilver]

Nice build!

[Bulldog5.0]

I can't wait to drive it....I just hope I can get it done soon

[visionmercury]

looks good , nice build. good luck man

[Bulldog5.0]

That's cool.

Who makes them and what do they go for?

They are OBX billet adjustable sprockets. Each gear is machined from T6-6061 billet for durability and that show quality look. Allows for +/- 12 degrees of adjustment.

Here is a set on ebay right now:

[UncleLar]

Ah,Sleeper.....
Nice!

[Bulldog5.0]

Ah,Sleeper.....
Nice!

Until I get the top half oiling issue resolved, it is just "asleep"... :(

[Bulldog5.0]

FINALLY got it straight....a few more things to button up, and hopefully will be able to post a video in the next day or two for anyone who may be interested....

[wannaMM]

i'M DEFINATELY INTERESTED ,AS IT LOOKS LIKE I'LL BE DOING THIS SOON...:)

[RacerX]

What was the cause?

[Bulldog5.0]

What was the cause?

Well, as embarrasing as it is, it appears we just weren't patient enough with re-priming the oil system. So, re-primed it, and plenty of oil and no noises. Other than an exhaust leak I have to chase down and fix...

[wannaMM]

In my case...its OLD AGE...(279,000 mi) (don't mean to hijack) its really cool what you've done to your CV...

[Speed]

You've got my attention...would like do something similar with my CV.

[Bulldog5.0]

Finally...here is the initial start install. Still have to install the new fuel pump, new tune, and a few other odds and ends. But hopefully will be done some time this weekend, and then I'll post a better video.

[UncleLar]

Sounds pretty good,just a tad lumpy idle,enough so a good ear can recognize it's not grandpa's CV.
I really like the tone of the exhaust note too! What are you running for the exhaust system,I'd like to deepen the tone of my MM a bit,volume is fine on mine,with the stock mufflers,rear cat and resonator delete the tone/pitch is a bit higher than I care for.

BBK headers, full 2.5" catless exhaust with h pipe and 1 chamber flowmasters

[Bulldog5.0]

For anyone who is still interested, I figured I would post a couple more idle vids....I really just love to listen to it...lol

Sorry, I can't figure out how to embed the video on here the right way.

Sounds great. Does it drive any better than stock? Dynotune coming? Drags?

It's A LOT better than stock. Right now I am just running a custom tune from BOC. If I havethe money later I am hoping for a dyno tune. I was gonna take it to the track, but I just tore my biceps tendon off the bone in my right arm. So can't manually shift right now. Surgery day after tomorrow.

Geesh! How in the hell diod you do that? Hope it goes ok. :o

Playing ball. Did a hook slide into third base to avoid a tag, and my hand got wedged up under the bag...therefore snapping my elbow straight, and rupturing the tendon

[05crownsport]

How did surgery go? The vic sounds awesome...it is definitely something I aspire to with my car.

[Bulldog5.0]

Thanks. Surgery went ok, the most painful experience I have EVER had. Having a few complications from it though, hopefully it will get better.
Your car looks really good, so the sound of the cams would really be an awesome match with it...You won't be disappointed if/when you do it.

[05crownsport]

I tore my left bicep tendon almost two years ago...yes, the surgery hurt more than the actual injury. I suppose it's from when they drilled holes in the bone to stitch it back on. Luckily I had no complications. I hope everything works out for you. Time and therapy will make it better.
