Update : Worked on getting rid of the factory light assembly as it’s heavy compared to this baby light bar.

And ordered some parts for raven fab they have some nice thermostat housings. And water pipe solutions.

Complete oversight on my end the shifter selectors was not properly aligned it was between neutral and driver make the car slipped in 1st and toasted the clutches.

Parts ordered time to rebuild again change the seals

I like how the coolant water pipe comes with the angle on the side .
We usually bang the thing out the pipe with a hammer to make the turbo fit.
 
After a lot of waiting for parts we finally got the car back together

Torque converter

It was fixed thanks to the 5 year warranty just had to wait 5 weeks …


Valve body

Was completely dirty we had to get new separator plate. And shift kit. Got the upgraded springs from IPT got me 2 sets to have a valve body on standby

Rear drum JB

Ordered a replacement clutch pack Jeff didn’t ship the pressure plate we had to wait …. I went with stock rear drum and sent it

Tested everything trans pressures shift link and all
 
Holy $hit man, I know it’s not easy to post the set backs, i admire your dedication to this thing. Hopefully the rest of 2023 gets better and better! You’ve got one BAD A$$ dsm:rocks:

Thank you.

I take it as a learning experience. Got greedy with the nitrous in 3rd and not enough injector therefore it melted. I’m sure this happened over time after to pull after pull.

I will tune around this current setup not have the nitrous on in 2nd or 3rd get the launch dialed in.

Maybe later I’ll add another 4 injectors and direct port nitrous … but for now my let me walk before i can run …
 
When i melted the head some aluminum got welded to the deck of the block.

Checked for flatness and had a high spot.
With muriatic acid it softened the aluminum and used red scotch pad. After I was done with the affected area i neutralized the acid with baking soda.

Now just waiting for the head to be done…

How much boost and timing were you running? :oops:
My son melted a piston in #3 and I was going to use sulfuric acid in that cylinder to try and get it broke loose. Is muriatic acid a better solution?
Love the "monster"!!!
Marty
Thanks ! Muriatic acid i have access to it at Home Depot.
