I couple of teasers of the new setup! Thanks to Jim at JM Fabrications this manifold is so damm nice I hate to even cover it up with a turbo and Downpipe the thing is almost a work of art.:2gunsfiring_v1:

Here is some pics of the manifold itself, in all its glory!

Got the downpipe and manifold cermaic coated and now ready to get the motor back in the car soon.

does it really have to be that nice?
j/k looking unreal, respect.
Btw that oilpan... im guessing its one off

The stock Moroso won't fit a stroked motor so you have to modify it alot to make it work so it is a Moroso that has been customized to work on a stroker.

wicked thanks for the info
I love this thread

I looked for a Moroso ages ago and they were never available. Guess I didn't look hard enough. I've never experienced oil starvation with the stock pan on the oval, autoslalom, or the track but it's always nice to have that extra protection. I'm assuming their 'trap-door' is a flapper valve to allow oil in but not out.

Yes plus also added capacity which allows better cooling, and less chance of starvation.

That downpipe is so amazing looking.

Thinking I might end up changing it up once I get the Tig welder back up and running.

Thanks been real busy working on everyone's stuff but mine. But anyways got the motor and tranny back in and wired up now just plumb the rad hoses, and make intercooler pipes etc and she should be ready to fire up.

Sorry for the delay to busy working on other peoples stuff to get anything done on mine. Some recent engine shots.

She's ALIVE! WWAHHHH

A video please!! haha

Ron, Awesome job.

Enjoy.

Like Brandon said...Video Please.

Excellent Job.

Quick little vid of initial start up!

The Talons Alive!!

That gauge setup is AMAZING!!

Thanks it really cleans up the interior as all 9 gauges fit within the stock gauge cluster opening.

ya, that gauge cluster is nuts! definitely looks like it all works together no problem!

You did all that nice detailing to the engine components but you don't have a cv boot or a coolant funnel on your thermostat housing while its running???? there's coolant going all down your engine and trany!!!!

Your car sounds awesome, Ron. Congrats, can't wait to see some track runs.

You can't run coolant at the track its straight water!

with garage closed ,, watch out for the carbon monoxide!!!!lol
awesome build mate, keep it comming!!! love the gauges too

Thanks but the other two doors were open!

Trying to get the car tuned but going to have to re-engineer the wastegates to get them to work! But on 10Psi this thing is already feel very strong, can't wait to see what 45Psi feels like, and oh yeah the nitrous system might come out of hybernation this year to.

Sounds and looks sweet! Really looking forward to hearing it at full song.

Should be getting back into the province soon, and get this thing tuned.

was the roof skin spot welded in place?
how did you welded back on? how was fitment?

are you able to post details?? what was needed?
awesome job
thx

The roof had probably a 100 spot welds and was braised on to at the rear, it was a major pain in the ass to say the least.

UPDATE

The car is and has been running and is tuned. The problem my Synapse wastegates just aren't working for me. In my opinion they are very poorly designed and the quality control is less then I expect not to mention the many different story's I get when I talk to various employees from Synapse. I just forked out the money for 2 new Tial 44mm's and should have the boost cranked shortly. But I well say even at a very low 13 Psi the car is a beast I can't wait to see what 45psi is going to feel like. Ron

Just a guess, but maybe........

Wow, that's awesome.

I am sure this is a little skewed to come from a guy who has driven a 2GNT for years, and finally felt 15psi boost... but 45 would likely make my poo myself.

The car is putting down right around 500ish Whp on 13Psi which should be good for 125-130Mph traps.

Wow!! 500HP @ 13psi, Damn, 45psi I would crap my pants, LOL!!

Had that same feeling when Reza punched the gas when i wasnt ready.

Holy crap I did not know that these engines were capable of that with just 13lbs

You poo'ed yourself?



You know this engine is about the furthest thing from stock... ever.

Right?
