Aaron, I can't wait to tear the engine for my CC down. That's going to be an enjoyable part of the project for me. I can't wait to see that thing on the stand all painted up and detailed out!

I know right? I cant wait to get some shiny new parts for inside. The cc needs some love! Its so ...um...empty without its thread around here...
I had my block in the bed of the truck for less than 24 hrs...then gone again.
It may just stay at the machine shop until I do something with it.He is who we use at work and loves to store stuff for us from the shop.I think I will did the heads out tomorrow and pull the valves out. wish I had a sleve puller so I didnt have to run down to the dealership. its a pain to get there.
Josh,yea,I will check on motorcraft pricing through work tomorrow.

For getting the injector cups out.I said sleve when I meant cups.I am hoping maybe one is cracked and that is why the engine was pulled. I think I am going to swap the 17 onto the truck this week I hope its good.. BUT I have to fix the dodge first...still..lol

well ...ill be danged..there it is...the crankshaft is done at the machine shop.
It didnt need ground.Just a polish and he said it was like new.I guess I need to call him and discuss the bores now.NOT that im in a hurry here.
I will throw up some pics of the block clean and maybe ill take the pedestal in soon and eliminate the ebp assy...I been practicing my mad alluminum tig abilities lately.
I have decided pretty much to do a 38r turbo. I have the sd plenums and pedistal.just need to get an exh collector and build a spyder or buy a sd.I have the j-bends to build most of the cold side stuff from the cummins project.
the plenums are new and I need to blast the manifolds...I know I will need the drivers SD manifold...not sure if I can also use the pass manifold? or they are the same.Ill have to study this.

I want to tear the engine for my cc down, but I can't until I get the engine pulled out of the '94.5. I have to have one on a stand for mocking things up and fab ideas. That stinks too cause that means I'll have to buy another 2000 lb. engine stand. I have one that the '97 engine is on, and my other stand is a 750 lb. stand, and I ain't puttin a PSD on it! LOL!!

Nothing special except the 65 Mustang Fastback. They all run except for three of them. I don't want to mention the four motorcycles and two boats because I don't want you guys to really think I'm sick.
