The Sexy Grandma 15 day build

[Slippi84]

Another little update. Gettin the new cams (FP5R and FP11) in today and I think I got a bum FP5R. The FP11 is a thing of beauty and is a spinner inside the cam tunnel. However, the FP5R isn’t so graceful. With the rockers out, so the cam can just spin freely, it takes a crazy amount of force to turn it. So we took it out and tested its trueness and it is off by .001 on the cam angle side and .002 in the cam gear side. We didn’t test the middle section so I don’t know it that was true or not? But regardless, the damn thing doesn’t turn worth a crap. So, ya. That’s life I guess, I’m going to call FP on Monday and see what they have to say and see if we can figure something out.

yeah i'm not a big fan of the new cams. Give me a set of fp3x's and i'm set

Got the new cam yesterday and its good, now I just have to not be lazy and get everything else back together. It should be back on the dyno in the next week or so. We just got really really busy so that week may turn into a month real quick...

anything new?

, no... Were too busy at the shop and its WAY to cold to be there any longer then we have to. It was about 17 outside today. It will be back up and running soon. After I installed the cams I got bit by the SUPER LAZY bug. I will get back on it soon.

Did grandma die? Or What?

no shes still alive, shes just sleeping. We got really busy at the shop. Were busier now then we were all of last summer. She will be back up and running again within the next month or so with the new cams and turbine housing. Ill keep everyone updated with any new progress, I promise.

i love this post and this car!

 

[fst91dsm]

Just a little something that's been going on with the car. I picked up a good core yesterday and have new parts ordered for it. Once those come in we'll get that short block together and hopefully get back to the car itself!! Race season is coming up fast and this year we should be ready, well, I hope so at least.

 

[baugh92talon]

[baugh92talon]

[thesmartestyet]

progress report? cars looking great its going to be warm out before you know it

 

[fst91dsm]

Last week there was quite a bit of progress on the car. I was going to finnish it up on Wed. but my Grandfather passed away so I had to fly down to Los Angles (Im in WA). It will be back up and running when I get back on the 26th-27th. Also my new shortblock will be done soon and I should see the new head in about 3-4 weeks.

 

[fst91dsm]

OK, so. I finished putting the car back together tonight!!!! Yeppie!!! Sounds like a loud ass V8, . Idles steady at 1200-1300rpm. I tried to get a video uploaded but couldn't for some reason (problem on my end). Hopefully we can get back to tuning it soon. Ill keep everyone updated.
