fox build

First of all, I wanna give a huge thanks to Mike (mjr46) for everything he did. thanks man

With half of the money i recieved from insurance, Mike installed all of this in my car...

GT40 Heads slightly ported and machined
New valvetrain (springs, seals, retainers) installed on heads
Trickflow stage 1 cam .499/.510 specs
1.6 SVO pedestal RR's
#24 injectors and 77mm Prow flow MAF calibrated
new water pump
new motor mounts
new double roller timing chain
new timing cover (the old one proved to be the reason why i ws leaking as it had a crack in it)

job took a total of 21 hours. took about 3-4 hours just to time the intake and exhaust valves.

Timing is set to about 13 degrees and tps at .97 volts


some not so decent pics lol..








and i also got a new hood, was tired of looking at the beat up old one


i will get a video soon of the exhaust. it has a real nice idle. and it pulls nicely too. only problem is it hesitates. step on the throttle and youll hear the engine rev up but it wont go til like a couple seconds after. spittin codes 22, 41, 91

Congrats on all the upgrades. Mike does great work!

He helped me rebuild and 8.8 rear just before carlisle and I went to Long island this weekend on it. 620 miles round trip and no problems.

he did my rear too. great work, no problems

looks good Ryan, hood looks good too....your car is progressing nicely, few more bugs to work out/ meaning the codes that have been there from before the h/c/i .......nice to see a fox progress!!

sounds good and some nice upgrades!!!...can't see the pics here at work though..Maybe I might get some help from some of these awesome mechanics we have around here ..in the near future..

ohhhh.. and hopefully Mike got a nice tip too!!

Congrats on the car and props to Mike, he is def the 5.0 masta!!!!
