Cool. You're on the list.

 

i picked up a 99 block, a fresh preped 99 factory forged crank (F75E..part #)that will support OVER 1000RWHP <---proven by the folks at JDM ENGINEERING) PI heads...all for a mere $150. i still need the front cover and all the chains and tensioners....anyone got any extra's?

 

funny you should ask. Yeah... I have a few bits here and there. I think even have a spare front cover, chains, tensioners, oil pump, timing gears, etc, I'm not sure on what all I have but I'm pretty sure those are on the list. I'll take a look tonight and see what I've got. I'll cut you a nice deal.

 

ok... I've got a front cover, lower timing gears, crank trigger wheel, tensioners, chains, chain guides, and oil pump. They're all in good shape. The chain guides have gobs of life left in them. I've got most other things you could need too. Make me an entertaining offer. The parts would retail at an obscene amount so I'm pretty flexible. Make it really nice and I'll pay the shipping.

 

by any chance you have some pi cam gears? i have some cams coming in and i need just the gears..

 

bolt on or press on?

 

bolt on...

 

I know I have some bolt on gears somewhere. If I can find them you can have them for 20 shipped. You'll want to buy new bolts and washers though.

I'll post back up as soon as I find or don't-find them.

chip, do you want the front cover and goodies?

 

no bolt on gears. can't find them. They're online for 80-125 bucks. You may be able to find them on some PI cams.

chip, did you want any of my front cover parts? I also have a oil filter plate. LMK.

 

what yr model front cover, i would like to keep it pre-2000 as everything else i have is 98-99. but i know it all swaps anyway. pm on the parts

 

pm sent.

 

Hey r3dn3ck we are supposed to be testing the Hardball'r not the Typhoon right?

 

in theory we'll be testing both. The typhoon is first.

see my comments in that thread you just posted on for my thoughts. The test that was referenced was absurd as a basis for comparison. There was a startling lack of any consistency checking so I consider all the results skewed.

 

Oh okay i thought we were testing the hardball'r. That's cool though.

 

i want to test the hardball'r really bad. i think it would make my motor way happy with what i have planned for it.

 

ditto. I'm trying to make sure we can test both. we'll see. I'll know for sure soon.

 

hey chip, any word on the front cover stuff? If you're unable to use it I'll prolly ebay it.

To anyone else, I have a 5.4L front cover, tensioners, chains, chain guides, lower timing sprockets, crank trigger wheel, HD oil pumps, oil filter plate, headers galore, etc... that I need to get rid of. Anyone need? (chip has dibbs if he wants them)

 

i might need some of the stuff. anyway you can sent some pics to myillwillinc@aol.com?

 

roger that. I'll snap some pics tonight and post em.

 

Headers galore? You have anything compatible with a 4V? I'm still trying to decide what exactly I want to do with the car, probably won't know till I buy another one and go crazy. I'm sure I'll eventually need 2V headers I guess.

 

man i aint got the cash right now, the new house and the new paint job has deleted my $$$

 

I've got 2v stock manifolds coming out my ears. Some are 4.6 others are 5.4. I can't really see a difference but, make any offer+shipping and they're yours.

Chip, see what you can do. I'm in need of bearings and bottom end fasteners and head gaskets. If you have any extras of those we can work a swap.

 

no bearings or fasteners

 

got any thing extra?

 

hey everyone... check out my new t-shirt site. Buy em' if you like em. if you have suggestions or requests, let me know.

I'm thinking about a shirt that says something like, "5.4L of fury. Deal with it"

no not really

 

cmon' people chime in. any developments, driving notes, etc..

lurkers, why not chime in and join the fun.

Haters, tell us how we're nuts again.

 

only news here is i installed Steeda ball joints this past weekend and this weekend i'm installing my baer bump steer kit and a new High TQ starter. due to the weight of the 5.4, i'm hoping the ball joints help out alittle.

 

is it noticably nose heavy compared to the 4.6?

 

Not to bad, it's definitely a wise choice to also buy a tubular k member. with the stock K memeber, I bet it will be very noticable. I was already looking at a battery relocation kit online today.
