Thats one mean sounding MoFo! awesome man, burn out vid!!

Sounds like you need some adjustments there!!!

Might be a little lean and work on the timming!!!

You need to get it running smoother so you can get it broke in good before reving it like that much more!!!

yuppp tomorrow an expert is coming to set timing and carb nex time i start is to run around the block to break it in..

Sounds great Jurgen. Cant wait to hear it runnin smoother. Also its gonna take a couple thousand miles to break in all the way so ya gotta go easy on it and dont accelerate to hard till at least 1000 miles. Also dont hold the same speed for more than a couple miles when ya drive it around.

I set off a car alarm in the parking garage the other day. Full blown car alarm too, not just a chirp. It was still blaring when I left the bottom floor of the garage. Made me happy

got all the accesories set today.. still gotta get the right length belt its too short 88 1/8 inch tomorow im getting a 89 inch one

then i can start it and set everything

 

[F 150Cobra]

got some good news and some very bad news

first the good one

it idles good and timing i set.. 10 BTDC at idle
engine revs good
now the bad
everything was ready waterpump cooling ps pump everything made it 10 meters out of the driveway BLAM! the waterpump broke the spacer we made to make it work witht he pully system i guess put too much stress on it..



i tracked down an <<<-1994 front timing cover.. and bought a new original 1989 F150 waterpump

becuase after 1994 the front timing cover switched (in explorers not F series) and uses different waterpumps and it was too short..

this saturday an army of friends is coming over and by saturday afternoon we will back!!!!! wish us luck!! pray to the ford gods!!

here is a small idle vid after the waterpump vid.. i wont let it idle much only 10-20 secs...

Dayum! Nice carnage.

Way to go Jurgen. Good luck gettin' her to button back together.

So the spacer makes the pulley actually stick out further than the other pullies?

nope.. it makes the shorter pump (for an Explorer 5.0 ) line up to the F series belt system..

if your wondering why i didnt get an F150 pump..becuase the timing cover after 1994 is different so i cant get an F150 pump to fit thats why i made the spacer

 

[89PSD]

Nice water pump!!! lol

 

[F 150Cobra]

ok got the new timing cover.. cleaned it up today tomorrow swapping of the cover will begin by tomorrow around noon we will be driving around
