Fixed it :flipoff2:

[/ED]

If I didn't have this ****ty internet you wouldn't have beat me to it... :flipoff3:

The Lightning put 350 to the wheels and something over 400 on the torque. That was with only 3lb of boost. The goal is 8lbs, but they found out it needs a bigger fuel pump. After we get a bigger in-tank pump in it, it will get retuned.

I finally pulled everything apart this afternoon. The cylinder walls have scratches, but nothing you can feel with a finger. It looks like if you took some steel wool and roughed up everything. There is also light rust from being open without spark plugs for 3 months. Other than that, nothing blatant stood out. I need to borrow a hoist to get the motor out so I can pull the pan to see what lies inside. Brandon? Do you still have one?

hmm, interesting, at least you know the heads are good

I dunno, the motor still doesnt turn by hand. Somethings definetely ****ed inside.

The Lightning is also fooked and back over here. Water in the oil. He got the front oil leak fixed. It is going in the garage sometime this weekend once I get everything BACK out.

Pull Bronco motor maybe Sunday, maybe next Sunday.

We just unloaded the Lightning and got it in the driveway. He thinks the leak is coming from the intake gaskets that we reused. He ordered some new ones and that would be great if that fixed the problem. It still has two small oil leaks from both heads near the back somewhere.

Once these issues are fixed, the next step will be more fuel, 8lbs, and a retune.

I might come get it Sunday. Motor has to come out with trans AND somehow make it over the new bumper/stinger. Will be interesting.

you can't drop the trans and then pull the motor,

Cut the stinger off and weld it back on later

why does the trans even need to come out?
