Fishy, I think yall need some therapy. Maybe the kind with a brass pole and dollar bills, but some kind of therapy. But I hear ya on too many projects. We actually got to go mud racing 2 weeks ago. I broke a stub shaft before I even got in the mud....I didn't push the shifter far enough forward and I launched in front wheel drive only.....SNAP!! Oh well.
As far as on topic for the tread....I've got an old 80 F100 with a tired blown 460. But it's fun.

Yeah ko its a kick out for extra capacity, i got that from rob from his old cleveland comp. motor after he blew it up, i had to do some fixing on it. As far as the the build i'm running aset of 4v quench heads new valvetrain, roller rockers, screwin adjustable studs, guide plates, etc, the exhaust ports have been cleaned up and some minor port work, then the cam well we have a comp cams 275deh, but we told the machinest he could change it if he can do better annd not go over our budget (he had roller on his mind 
) um its a fully balance rotating assembly, i'm running zero deck flatops with the block and heads milled to get the cr in the 11.5:1 range if not higher, um then on top its a rousch intake off an old cleveand pro stock motor, and a set of price intake spacers, then a worked over holley 750dp, and a hei ignition for the simpl;icty of only using 1 wire for that, combine with a one wire alt. and you got a very easy electrical system .
a few little things also include a centerforce dual friction cermanic 12" clutch, a couple oiling system mods, and the aforemention 1 wire alt and factory fopr sag ps pump.

If I read what you said earlier corretly, you are going to convert it to hydraulic, as in not just a hyd. bottle jack, but a cylinder & pump?
I didn't get more than 10º on my first bend before I bent the hell out of my lower roller bolt, so I don't know how well type of bender works. Ordered one that was tempered and a DOM sleeve for it... Should be here any day now.

thats correct... a elec over hydro pump, long ram, and all the hoses and a directional valve
my main reason for going hydro is not speed or even accuracy (although it should be much more accurate) but the ability to build the bender into a cart and make it as portable as possible. i HATE punching holes in BRAND new concrete if i dont have to!
what wall thickness tube were you attempting to bend? and what bender?

i think the manual bender sucks because of the limited ability to bend!!! you can just roll it outside the shop and start bending...its got to be bolted to a base or a trailer hitch or a trailer or something with room to feed 20 foot friggin sticks in it
Looks good mustang!!! why dont you think about a litte larger cam? seems like you would want it for this build??
Uh oh, whatd you dun go get cutts? IR?????? awawaw
Hell yea free cars are fun, but im actually debating makeing this one road worthy and selling it to mexicans or something andmaking a decent profit on it. Im already getting bored with teh high speed cornering and jumping it...the suspension isnt the type R so it doesnt perform right...i need a neuspeed seatbelt and sticker i guess
Hey cutts, i got a new project...we need to make a 6 foot stinger for the maz...its kind of nose heavy once shes airborn

Homemade bender modeled after the Protools one kinda, but looks like this
http://www.metalwebnews.com/howto/tu...be-bender.html
I'll take a pic after it gets painted.
Bending .125x1.5" DOM on a 5" radius die... Bolt was only a 8" long x 1" diameter grade 8, so it wasn't too suprising that it bent...
Mine doesn't have to be bolted to anything...
