hold on might be getting an 8 bolt flywheel, clutch disc, and pressure plate for $100

 

***** if you get on their site click catalog, then click on air intake components (modular) then choose what size piping all the way up to 4 inches,if you click accessories i think the silicone coupling that they carry are in there i know they have the oval to round silicone coupling in there, if thats of no help call them and ask for guy smith he knows his **** ,he can help you with anything you need, you can even run multiple air filters, if you can dream it they have the stuff to build it, but if you call guy and tell him what your doing he can hook you up

 

it isn't listed as silicon, u think it can take boost?

i know they have it and it is silicone,give them a call ,im sure they are strong enought to hold boost,but its always safe to double check,if not call c&l intakes ,thats whats im running and they hold up great

 

just talked to guy and no go, he said the ocal ford one isn't silicon and is for NA apps only. i guess c&l will get a call...

 

would someone PLEASE provide a complete list of the things you get when tearing apart/swapping engines. im talking gaskets, retainers, valve springs, timing chains, timing cover, etc. and also where to get said iitems

 

thats sucks, well c&l is the way to go then,i have an old order book and spectre has all kinds of silicone **** ,and it was on their web page to, but they dont even have any silicone on the page anymore? guess they quit dealing with it,sorry will

well guys, i just got word i will be leaving sooner then thought.... and i will not have time to complete my build so i am parting it all out before i have to leave.. so if anyone is interested in doing a 5.4 DOHC build... message me if you need some parts... most of my stuff is high performance pieces... from heads to rotating assembly...

god this sucks

 

shakin what you got?

and update my engine is being shipped out tomorrow i just called kar kraft. it should be here next week then there will be another 5.4 terror on the road.

 

Big items are:
a forged crank shaft, Manley pistons with -18cc dish, manley rods with ARP 2000 hardware. All of this has been balanced and i have the balancing sheet for it...

Navi heads - Stage 3 ported and polished by MMR, still in the boxes from them, i bought them brand new and had them seat, and assemble them all.

i think i have 30lb injectors, a BBK throttle body thats new, a billet steel oil pump, a 04 cobra fuel tank, with dual super car pumps. a T56 with a 31/26 spline ... **** i know i got alot more at the house lol... some 98 cobra cams... ohh a DSS main support system, a oil pan from MMR that has atleast 2 i think 3 oil bungs welded into it... its the 7qt one they have its silver, also got a windage tray...

 

If anyone needs a 4.6 intake, ported adapter plates, 42lb injectors, and billlit fuel rails, I will sell them all as a package. I'm getting ready to put my Victor JR on soon. I sawed it in two the other day, ouch.....brand new out of the box. LOL.

 

shakin, what you askin on the t56?

 

Mywillinc,
Here is the story on the T-56, I bought this from a guy, who had it in his cobra, he had the transmission supposibly rebuilt by DnD, and thats when he had the 31/26 put in it. It had about 2,000 miles on the rebuild, the guy got rid of it to go with an automatic. So it came with 2 fly wheels, 2 clutches, an aluminum driveshaft, and the transmission.
I think i paid 2500 for it, and i was looking to get around that for it.. I live in england so I have a guy that can do the shipping back to the united states, and I was going to pay for part of the shipping so if i get 2500 for it, i will probably pay for a good 300-400 dollars of the shipping. which would get it back to the US, and maybe a few dollars towards shipping it to there house.

 

shakin... you going where I think you're going?

 

eventually... yes again...

and i dont have time to get the car up and running before i leave... so they will not ship it back to the states... so im kind of like **** ... im going to be out a couple grand...
so i have to sell like everything... hoping i can sell the car as a rolling chassis for like 1000-1500 in england...

 

maybe you can sell it as a whole to someone wanting a project.


- or you send a couple plane tickets and some of us will fly out there and finish it for ya......
