Hey Scoot,

Where's the video of the 511 2 wheel drive burnout???

Russ

 

It's still in the works. I am making pretty good progress on the various issues I have to resolve first. I am still mounting my alternator and vacuum pump. It is taking a little time to get all the parts just right, but by the end of the week I should have them. I am also putting my shock mount tabs on the front axle either today or tomorrow. I put custom mounts on the back of the axle a couple of years ago, but when I went with fenderwell exit headers I had to move the shocks to the front of the axle. In fact, Ill go shoot some still pictures right now to show some of the projects. Once my new power valve, Demon tuning handbook, etc... arrive, I will be pretty close to making a video.

Pics will be posted shortly.

Sounds Cool Scoot..Cant wait to see the Pics!!! about 2 weeks for a video?

How big of tires are you going to Burn up??

 

These are Super Swamper SX 38.5x14.5-16.5's. No match for the FEarsome 511!

Here are some pics of the ol' girl. Hope you guys enjoy 'em.

In this one you can see the over-knuckle tie rod location and the crossover steering arm, as well as the new oil filter location just below the alternator peeking out from behind the motor plate. Also notice the dangling shocks that will be completed this weekend. The blue hose is for the rock ram, and will be hooked up after I mount the power steering pump.


I have to weld on a new tab just like this one but the opposite dirction. You can also see where the ram mounts to the tie rod.


Here's the finished header arrangement.


This is the alternator/vacuum pump position. The big hose that plugs into the puke tank will go first to the far side of the vacuum pump, then from the near side of the pump to the puke tank. The current arrangement is temporary.


These two are just a couple of shots to show the layout of the engine compartment in its almost-finished condition.



The upper drivehaft loop will connect the two halves of the no-hop bar crossmember. It used to hit the top of the CV joint. Also notice where I put the starter solenoid.

I Just in Awww Brian!

I 'll tell you that is nice,you do some dam good Fabrication work..
everything is as neat as a pin... After you get done with yours, I'll send ya a plane ticket, and you can come and do mine? LOL!! It sure has the Bling Bling!

Russ

Edit... Ya want to buy a 433CI Cobra, to use for a spare Starter?

 

Dang! That thing is sweet! Gonna run over some rice burners?

Just noticed the Nitrous bottle. Fired that up yet?

 

Truthfully, I probably wont hit the bottle for quite a while. I'll be tuning and perfecting the base tuneup. I'm also concerned about the tranny until I get my C6. In the meantime it'll just have to sit there and look cool. But as hard as this thing seems to run, I can't imagine what the juice is gonna feel like.

Hey Scoot,

Who ya gona buy your C6 from? There's a place here in the south, Jackson Racing Tranmissions, and thats all Luke and his crew do.. He has C6s rated for over 500HP for $875 and C6s rated at over 700HP ? I havent checked on a price for the 700HP unit....But I could if you might be interested?

I just thought about that myself If I'am going to get 575+ out of my build? there aint know way in hell my C6 I have in there now will take the HP...It does have a TCI kit in it..but it needs to have the heavy clutches in it and the some..

So with that said.. That will be another 1K+ I have to come up with..

I think you and greg were right! this is not just going to be a 12mo. build!

I think now to get it the way I want... 3 years...

Shoot by then I might be to old to drive it!! YA RIGHT!!!

I think Im going back to sleep its 5am here.. Later, Russ

 

When you start putting over 900HP to the tranny in a 5000 pound truck it takes a pretty exotic tranny to take it. There are alot of trannys out there that will take big horsepower in a 3000lb car, but this is a different ballgame. I will be getting mine from Jay Broader back east. He has spent alot of time on and off the phone designing just the right stuff for me. It wouldn't be right to switch vendors now.

Also, I am sure you already know the mathematics of high performance. As a rule of thumb, whatever you have invested in your engine, you will also need to invest that same amount in the rest of your vehicle to handle it. Will your existing fuel system feed 550+HP?

Great pics! I wished my fab looked that clean. Good work man

 

That is one pretty setup Brian! I can't wait to see it move under its own power on video. Getting a tranny is going to be pretty tough. It will have to have a hardened input shaft and an E40D planetary and a whole bunch of other special parts that I am sure Jay will find for you. I think you picked a great tranny guy. What kind of transfer case is going to hold up to that much power. You might need to call Dennis Anderson and see what the digger has or the guy who runs Blue Thunder for more Ford specific stuff. They use the C6 in the ford monster trucks. You are only about 500HP short of them and they have blowers and run on alcohol!

 

I see lots of pulling trucks and so forth using the NP205. I'm gonna leave it in there. If it goes south I'll punt, but for now I think it will take it.

By the way, where the hell you been? We haven't seen you for a while.

I was TDY. I figured the hotel or the Cisco class I was in would have internet access but I was wrong. Go figure.

I doubt you will need to lay the hammer down in 4WD anyways. Spinning in soft mud or dirt is a lot easier on things than a WOT launch on blacktop.
