• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

Project Debt Free

Anyways, to get back on topic. Old heads off, new ones on. Did some minor port work to the exhaust sides. Sorry forgot pics.

Really, really thinking about going old school w/a vortech kit.
 


Good job sir! Read the whole thread.
Im still trying to figure out how to remove my engine cover. o.O
 


Nice build man this has really taken my back when I did this for my friend. No money and wanted to make her light and fast, BTW congrats on the new girl. My helper needs to learn how to help already.
 
Thanks Deimos. Hopefully they both turn into a couple gearheads.

It may get a centrifugal Poke.

And for Rynoman.

Holes in firewall smacked flat.

Waterpump and accessories back on.

Exhaust and lower intake on. Now a new problem, pushrods are too short for my roller rockers I bought. Fit the stock rockers just fine. Guess I'll call Summit tuesday and see what I need for pushrods and get them ordered. Would've been running today if this didn't happen.

Your still moving along I see. Sucks about the pushrods. But you'll get that snag fixed, easy fix.

Centri-charged would be cool. I imagine a m112 would be cheaper but adapting it wouldn't be too fun.

The best thing I did for my fox was add the Vortech. It went through 23 10lb bottles at 150 shot before I got tired of refilling the bottle. Now I have the power at all times and make more hp with the Vortech than I ever did with nitrous. I started at 11psi with stock heads and cam but now with heads/cam I'm running 16psi lol I'm tuning it using an Anderson PMS. Great build progress too, just keep us updated as you go. I look forward to seeing the final outcome. :th_thumb-up:
 
Thanks guys.

Got my pushrods today. Put them in, fitment was spot on. So put everything else on. Went to start, turned over, nothing. I forgot to reconnect harness. Plugged her in and she fired up. Sorry no vids or anything but she is running now. The cam does sound a bit better w/the 1.7's, not a huge difference but it is slightly noticeable. I'll get some pics and possibly a horrible vid up by this weekend.
