Coming soon: Livernois 5.0L stroker, ADTR/Vortech V2 intercooled SC, Silverfox trans and Circle D converter
The first date I gave was my May, which turned into July (Ford Racing engine was ****), which turned into September (new Livernois motor delayed 3 months), which turned into October (transmission delayed 3 months), which turned into December (head work delayed 6 weeks).
Many of the members, who lived through engine builds, have advised I "enjoy the journey". Minus the Vortech blower from ADTR, all the parts are in KC's hands (BRG Racing). I am now enjoying the journey.
So, I will go with 2016.
It always takes longer than you think. I'm going over to work on my ABS tone rings with the machinist this evening. Enjoy!

There is no journey to enjoy when you stock pile parts and "extra parts in case" and on a whim tear your car down and dig in. 2-3-4 weeks later, whole new car with minimum down time.

I know this is an older thread. I am reviewing new torque converter options. Is Circle D still preferred by the majority over Precision Industries' Stallion TC?
I asked MartyO to select the correct one for my n/a car last summer. He went with the Circle D 3k stall - truly on the money. Along with everything else done to the car, Marauder feels like a big block, high compression, high torque, full size car of the ‘60s, except it handles and rides better.

I just ordered a 10.5" pi tc from marty 3000-3200. I trust his judgement. Hes helped me through alot on my small engine build for my crown vic sport. Also have to thank chris from adtr.net for all his help.
Marty suggest pi tc for what i have. The tune will tell after all its done.
Ive run a PI3200 for a while it's a good converter.
Mine is tight even after all this time
