The offical fix the sheep thread....

[Blacksheep]

Well guys my spirits have come up a LITTLE bit.

So i decided to get some things out of the way that ive been wanting to do for a while now. I got all the A/C stuff off the car. And ive started to relocate and hide all my wires. I havent done any cleaning yet, so forgive the dirtyness of everything. Feel free to make suggestions with the wire hiding, im kinda playing it by ear and just going with that i feel....

(yes i know about almoststock's wire hiding write up, but all of his pics are in the wrong spot that i need them to be. lol

[Blacksheep]

[Wayne's 88 GT]

Looking good Croft! :thumbsup1:

[TwistedSS]

Croft- if you need any ideas, come look at mine.

[colascstang]

wish I had the guts to try that. Is it hard to do? I've heard you need to extend wires and such to make it work?

[stangster50]

wish I had the guts to try that. Is it hard to do? I've heard you need to extend wires and such to make it work?

depends.... on my blue car i put everything behind the dash... had to extend a lot of it....on the orange car im building, i hid it all in the wheel well, and didnt extend anything...
wires in the orange car are more visible in places... the only wires you see on the blue car are fuel injector/distributor harness..

[bonesgt]

I want to do that to mine one day

I'm gonna say it before someone else does......You can't keep one long enough to hide the wires..LMAO:lol1::lol1:

[Blacksheep]

AFPR is in!!!! Car will be running tom. and put back togeather. Im hopin to take it down the road for the first time in over a month!

[vcr12564]

Congrats Croft! Hope everything goes well tomorrow. :thumbsup1:

[Blacksheep]

Well, update time. After puttin the AFPR on, the moter blew (short version) So the car has been basically sitting until i can find parts. Well tonight i picked up the short block. Got it from a dude in GA. Needs some paint and a lil cleaning up. But for what i payed for it, that aint no big deal. Hopefully about another 2 weeks and she will be running again. Maybe even 3. Short block came with oil pan, brand new gasket. Timing cover, dog bones. Basically everything you see in the pics.

WOW, big jump....one post your wiring then BAM!...the motor blew?!?!?!

WTH HAPPENED!?!?!? :angry:

[Blacksheep]

WOW, big jump....one post your wiring then BAM!...the motor blew?!?!?!

WTH HAPPENED!?!?!? :angry:

lol, sorry. I reckon i forgot to update this thread when it blew. But i think i put something in the bad day section.

Idk wtf happened. I changed FPR's started the car to adjust the pressure, would stay runnin, so i tightned the adjuster screw to bump the FP up a lil bit (keep in mind im doing this by my self) so i start the car again, reved it up just a lil to keep it to say runnin (2 grand MAX) and i hear a noise, a loud pop, and water starts pouring onto the ground....

So im like ****.... So it might be a freeze plug. So i get under the car and look and i see 2 holes in my oil pan. And a chunk of the block in between the starter and the oil pan.... So i reckon i slung a rod, or a main cap...

I think it went wayyy lean on me.. But im not 100% on that



It cracked from the freeze plug over... Huge hole

http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll196/3black0sheep6/my%20car/1031091613.jpg


I will find out in a week or so what happened when i tear down the old moter. I wish i would have already done it. But i have been to busy to do anything.... :sad1:

[Bizarro]

****!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...... that sucks man!!!... well jus remember... everything happens for a reason... it might not seem like a GOOD reason right now but it will work out for the best in the long run, look at it as a learning experience. :yes1:

Good luck with the build!... keep the pics posted! :thumbsup1:

[Blacksheep]

Will do.

[Blacksheep]

Well today i finally had some free time so i decided to hide some more wires, which i got done basically all i can do while the motor is still in the car. I havent figured out what imma do with the harness that the pass head light is on, and the alt harness. But im sure ill think of something. Dont judge it yet, it has come a long way since i started with this, and im not anywhere near being done. But here are the updated pics.

Let me know when dude. And ill be glad to help. :yes1:

[Blacksheep]

Well x-mas has come to me early this year, in the form of parts. I have a pile of parts waiting to go on this car, from brandnew headlights to a intake. Everything you are about to see i picked up today. (Needless to say im tired of spending money at this point). Everything of course will be cleaned up and painted to match the look i want. This thing is finally comming along. Besides, cam, timing chain, and gaskets i can start to assemble it. So when those come in, then the fun starts. Enjoy

Well i got some more work done today. I got the lower intake, heads and one VC painted. Im not done with the VC but you can kinda get the idea of how its gonna look. Also got the front acc, fuel rails, and upper off the old motor. Getting ready to pull it out soon.

Well i got both the valve covers painted and gonna work on the engine plate tom. Im just doing little things like this to keep me busy until parts come in. Its all in the details. 8) (One of them is wet cuz it was dusty, so i kinda rinsed it off. Of course im gonna touch up everything when the motor is installed and running.

[Blacksheep]

O and i also found another piece of my block on my K-member when the motor was out of the way so the hole is even bigger than i thought. ill get good pics of that when the starter is out of the way.

[Nova]

looks like the fun stuff is just about to begin croft :)

[Blacksheep]

Yup, its nothing but down hill from here. I got a truck load of parts that are ready to go in. But still missing a couple things. I still havent decided on a cam yet......

[Blacksheep]

Ok, so i finally got all the old paint off the intake and 3 fresh new coats on. Hope you like, dont judge totally. Im not done with it, and the paint was still wet when i took the pics. But you get the general idea. Im gonna go back and clean everything up when its dry.
And i rebuilt my injectors with new screen filters and new caps. They are ready to flow some fuel now!

Yea man I have been a member for a while. I kinda have gotten away from foxbodies though with the 03 cobra and 00 gt. Let me know if you still want my cowl hood its just sitting on my old fox. Car is looking good keep up the hard work and it will be ready for mustang week!

[Blacksheep]

Of course i still want it..... And i need those head studs.....

O, btw, im really sorry to hear about your granddaddy. that sucks dude.

[thegreatord]

how is the new job going man?

[Blacksheep]

F'in amazing! I love it, every where i look i see nothing but cranks, blocks, rods, cams, pistons, if it deals with a motor i see it every day all around me. And when they crank up a motor on the engine dyno, its like heaven on earth :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool:


There was talk between me and dyno guy about me bringing in all my motor parts, building it at the shop and throwing it on the dyno one sat before it goes in my car..... But we will see.

Ive been trying to get on at this place for over a year......

i know. when you actually like the job you have, makes a very big difference. i love my job, but they pay is average and i want to make more..... but i dont want another job......... just glade for you man

[Blacksheep]

More pay would be nice, im sure everybody feels like that. I mean who dosent want to make more money....? But for what im lackin it pay, i make up for it in knowledge. I learn so much stuff everyday. And ive only been there a week. I make decent money for just starting off at the company. But like i said, it makes up for it in other areas.

[thegreatord]

same here man. i love computers and i work with one of the biggest in the state. im on this site allot cause im there and need something to pass the time. plus i get so much time off to do what i want like work on the stang. l

[Blacksheep]

Well i FINALLY got the cam, and got it installed today. Gonna assemble my heads tom after work, then early next week i should be putting everything else together

http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll196/3black0sheep6/my%20car/100_0336.jpg

[Blacksheep]

OK, well obviously things are going slower than planned. I havent really had time to work on my motor. But i finally got the heads assembled today. The heads should go on sometime next week depending on if anything comes up or not. I set my installed height at 1.690" which gives me a seat pressure of about 120-121 with my springs. And still have about 0.040 after the max lift on my cam, so plenty of room there before coil bind. And as you can see, i ditched the stock rotators and just went with the stock style 2 piece retainer. I thought about gettin the retainers off a 300 ford or something like that, but i already ordered my new springs so it was to late. . .

Well i finally got time to finish up the long block. Gonna bring it home this weekend and start putting all the other goodies on it. The viedo is of my motor on our "SIM tester" Basically we shoot it with oil and block off all the nessacary holes and spin it. And do a series of test on it, Oil pressure at 25% OP at 100% make sure the oil is comming out of the places it needs to be, rockers oiling, lifters rotating (flat tappet of course), we also check the compression in all the cylinders. Its a quality control thing, and its a good thing we do it. you would be suprised at some of the stuff i discover while spining these motors. Most of the time its just a bad lifter or something. But anywho, enjoy. (The tester is only turning at about 30% power)

http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll196/3black0sheep6/my%20car/IMG00075-20100819-1728.jpg

Motor all hooked up to the spin tester.

looking good croft! droped my engine off today to a guy on here who is doing my engine build.
new job still going well?

you're running a bigger oil pan than stock correct? extended time at high rpms will empty a stock pan with a HV pump.

hmmmm..... you sure about that dude? never heard that before....

[Blacksheep]

Well i went into work today and got some more stuff done. Got the earl pan, timing cover and balancer on. Also changed the rear main seal. and of course i pressed in a new front seal. Gonna bring it home sometime this week and start putting everything else that i can on it so i dont have to do it when its in the car. When i get a clutch imma drop the motor and tranny in.

http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll196/3black0sheep6/my%20car/IMG00080-20100821-1106.jpg

[Blacksheep]

I got most of the stuff on. Gonna plug up the injector harness before it goes in. And a few more lil odds and ends, but i couldnt take it any longer, i had to see how the VC's were gonna look with that intake. I personally think its looks great. Gonna try and drop it in this week!!!!!!

I like the color scheme....what kind of numbers are you expecting?

[Blacksheep]

Thanks man, i spent alot of time painting and trying to figure out how i want things. And i still havent decided on the water pump, alt, or alt bracket yet. So we shall see. And i think it will do pretty good. I spent alot of time debating on a cam, and spent some time on my valvetrain which tends to be the place where people skip on, So imma tune it my self for now until the clutch gets broken in then it will hit the dyno. But im hoping for some good numbers. It will suprise alot of people

[Blacksheep]

Nuff said!

Ok, well i have been working on this thing basically non stop all weekend, and im still not done. its very over whelming at all the stuff that needs to be done still. I sat down tonight and made a check list of everything. Deff gonna need a intake spacer, not to thrilled about that one. But its whatever. So the intake is just sittin up there. Im gonna go back when im done and clean all the dust up, so pay no attention to that. But i think she is looking good. Im really happy how my bracket came out.

Ok, sorry i havent been on here to update all of yall, but the computer crashed and I didnt wanna say all this on my BB. Soo, here is the lastest news. Yes the car is running. But, there are some bugs that need to be worked out of it. The belt was rubbing each other in one place so i had to get a new alt bracket, well the bracket i ordered was the wrong one. so instead of ordering one, seeing if it works, ship it back, wait for another one, try that one etc.... I am just gonna say screw it and buy the PS relocation bracket like everybody else. not to happy about it, but im tired of waiting on parts. So that new bracket will be here tom. So when i get that taken care of, i can actually let the car run for a lil bit and do some tuning on it, and get some bugs worked out. I do need to get some 02 sensors for some reason i have crown vic 02 senors in mine so obviously my harness wont work. And if any body has any that they wanna donate to the cause that would be great! I tried to get a vid of my phone to show yall of the car idleing but for some reason it wont upload to my com. sooo im just gonna have to take one with my camera tom, so for now yall will just have to settle for a pic. Still got some finishing up to do, but this is basically the final product. I think the wire tuck went really well. Not as clean as i want it to be, but hey its a start.
