I like it! How fast is it compared to the bicycle? :)

[Jeff Bratton]

Hey, Jacob.... looks GREAT! nice Pic's, to bad it rained today, but hey... we need the rain!

Oh... and hey don't pay any attention to^^^^ aka nettlesd, he's just jeolous cause his truck is RED.:p

I agree with Jeff... Sorry it rained but you car looks awesome. Love the pictures.

[ricardoa1]

Awsome, but lets see some skin and take the bra off. On a red car Id be carefull because the rest of the car will fade and under the bra will be vibrant red.
Also the seat bolster needs to be tucked in. Very easy to do.

Interior looks to be in great condition for a 93.

Thanks for the compliments! yes its faster than the bike :) excuse the crap in my yard the garage is a mess from my wifes yard sale over the weekend so i had to park the sc outside :( wanted to get some pics before it got cruddy looking... I had just finished cleaning it up!! I noticed the seat bolster today! I already had to do the passenger side when i first bought it so no biggie.. I've only got one seperated seam in all the leather and its on the driverside seat bottom.. The car was a 1-owner trade when i bought it and i carfaxed it.. Never been in a accident or anything for that matter.. shortest carfax i've ever seen!! Its deffinately a survivor! I need to re-glue my rear-view mirror it fell off when the car sat in my garage all winter toar apart... The bra stays on sorry guys :( The hood is in horrible shape (was when i bought it) from rock chips around the emblem area and scattered almost halfway up the hood its bad!! I really want a cervani hood and a rear-deck spoiler so that will take care of it :) I've priced a repaint from a local guy that does stuff in his garage (does a hell of a nice job too for his prices) and a complete repaint (including painting my side moulding...which i've had to touch up a few times....) he priced at $300 if i provide the paint since there really isnt any body work needing to be done on the car.. So i figure if i can find a cowel hood and a rear spoiler first that will be ideal.. Also wanting to do clear corners and some rims.. Just put new rubber on it so i might leave the rims alone for now since they are spotless originals.. I just have never been real crazy about them.. Its been along ordeal getting it back on the road since i spun a bearing back in the winter, But it was WELL worth it and im excited that i am close to having all the parts i need to make it really run!! After i get the repaint im wanting to hit some shows with it.. Hopefuly with the bolster fixed it will be in good enough condition to show off a little bit :)

Is that a reman. motor? what did you pay? And how's that 491" lift cam work?

[Jacob_Royer]

I had Terrels machine shop in salem do the short block for me.. My heads were remans from 04 so i just cleaned em up ported them and threw in new valve stem seals and comp springs to match the cam.. This is what i had done at the machine shop

Turned the crank
reconditioned the rods
bored .20 over
all parts and labor with them assembling the short block ran me $750

Cam ran me $275 with lifters springs and pushrods from Dave D

Headgaskets etc at least another $200

Water pump, timming chain/gears/tensioner $150

Advance auto OE type balancer $150

Motor mounts $90

Plugs $45

Already had new hoses and belts

PS Pulley puller and installer $40 + another $10 for ford fuel fine disconect tool..

The cam makes a diffrence on the top end but without a tune maf and injectors if lost alot of low-end power.. Hope to gain it back since i now have a set of 42's and a 5% crank and 10% JS pulley on the way..

[stempak]

salem oregon?

[Jacob_Royer]

Indiana sorry :(

[ricardoa1]

If you look at the bolster you should be able to fold it in I am not sure if you know. It will cost you nothing. ;)
Look at the other side there is a long plastic clip that will fold into the plastic part of the bolster. Seems like it just unfolded and just needs to be tucked by hand. Unless the clip ripped from the leather.

[Jacob_Royer]

Yeah i had to do that on the other side.. I just noticed it when i snapped the pics..

[Scott Long]

that balancer makes me leary, but other than that nice list of parts. Apparently stock short blocks are good for a ton of power as Ira proved at the shootout. As long as you have a good tune and don't get any detonation that motor should live a long life.

[Jacob_Royer]

Hope it holds up.. I just couldnt justify spending $350+ on a balancer! I also hope that a stock rebuilt bottom end will hold up :)

[stempak]

When you ported your stock manifolds. Did you notice any gain? Or did you do a whole bunch of other things two.

[Jacob_Royer]

I did the cam, ported heads,blower exhaust manifolds intake manifold,inlet and outletplenum all at once.. In my case I lost power because im not making crap for boost anymore..
