Jacob - I have an extra set of slicks and wheels you're more than welcome to use and abuse. The ones I bought from Kurt K in 2008 and used until about 2014 I think.
Well I got my butt kicked this weekend. I have been working on this car to get it ready . I wanted to put in a different trans so I ordered one and pulled out the old one. Then the fun started, The new trans has a "SFI" bell housing so when I put it up the flywheel was too big to fit into the bell housing. so out it came again and we ordered a new flywheel to fit. Got it and again put it up only to find out that the bolt pattern was wrong on the convertor, so we ordered a new one of that. Got the new convertor and put it all back together only to see there was a extra piece on the convertor that was hitting the flywheel. So now it is time to wait for yet another convertor that should fit. I sure hope so and YES I should have checked everything better before I got into this mess.. When this is done I still have some interior work as well some wires to run. Maybe it will be ready for the bash otherwise I guess I will have to bring something else....rich
Got the expansion plugs changed out and ordered a rebuilt PS rack, PS pump...this weekend just freed up somewhat, so I'm hoping to maybe the the car running again!
Check hot valve lash / adjust
Rich,
Changing flywheel diameter may also cause issues with your starter.

Do you have a solid roller cam in that motor ?

Well it's on the road and drives good. I need to tune it now badly! But no leaks, 190f temp and 18psi of boost so its promising
I was 3 hours late for my appointed move-in time for the World of Wheels. I was cleaning until 4:30am the morning of the big All-Ford Show. I got 2 hours sleep before Artomobilia here in Indy. I have a really bad habit of dragging things out to the last minute. For once, I'm on schedule after securing transportation to the Bash yesterday. That was my last task that I needed to do.
I guess I could say there's one more thing I should need to do. Considering how susceptible I am to falling asleep on long drives, it would probably be good to find someone available to ride shotgun to keep me in check. I'll call that the last thing I need to do before the bash.
I'm really looking forward to catching up with more MN12 owners and checking out your cars. See ya there.
Maybe join the caravan? That might help! Sounds like Mike Inch, Jacob Royer, Dan Thornsberry and I may all be caravan-ing.
Caravan from where? Passing anywhere near Indy? What day/time? Sounds like a good idea if it can work.
