Yes all of it, can't find a decent body for what it's really worth and I really need to get better long commute transpo so it's all going to go for a DP on a A6.

Thanks Leeland for all the go fast parts. Tyler's jeep will be stupid fast now. It should brake everything behind it with the paxton super charger attached to that new motor and matching computer, wiring harnesses, O2's, MAF, and 75 MM throttle body.

Got her running again with the new motor in her! She is a BEAST!!! We still need to replacing the wiring (upgrade to maf), then get 42 lb injectors and HP fuel pump before putting on the supercharger and getting it tuned, but we are making progress. I will try and get a video after I get it tuned a little better. The cam sounds really good in her ;-)

I'm a worried about doing the wiring and may need some help. I'm not sure where, or how to hook up the power/ground/Ignition switch that come into the wiring harness. Doing the plugins and routing it should be easy but getting the jeep to run like it did before may be a challenge. I'm going to call Russ and hope to talk to Leeland more about it before tackling it.

I have a kink in my plastic fuel line (well two kinks really). They are pretty bad and I'm worried about getting enough fuel to the new motor. Looking on-line, I don't really understand a way to replace them. Has anyone done this on the high pressure fuel lines before? I know I have 47PSI at idle now in the line and I don't want to use a low pressure clam/hose setup.

I only ran 32 at idle with no issue. I was told this trick for checking volume: hit the schrader valve with it running at idle, if it stumbles you don't have enough volume to support the engine.
I checked this theory out after I swapped the v8 into my old fox and was still running the 4cyl fuel pump. Car ran fine for the most part but the exhaust was heating up pretty bad like it was running lean. I did this trick and the engine stumbled. Immediately after that I swapped in the cobra fuel pump in and no longer had a issue running hot and it no longer stumbled when hitting the schrader valve. By the seat of the pants it seemed like I gained a little more power as well. My feed line was kinked the entire time btw. Never seemed to make a difference and I wasn't about to press a new plastic line on by hand after hearing what biatch it is.

This is a quick video of it ideling now. I'm sure it will get better as the computer learns this new motor.  |

Not sure if its your recording device or my phone or both but I could only catch some decent audio, sounds like its hunting.

Yes I think the computer is still hunting trying to figure out what just happened. I have 6 miles on it now!! Whooo :-).. It's starting to sound better... I think I have to set up the idle some more and it will smooth out a little more. I can really hear the cam in it though.

Rusty, do you have a link to the build your basing yours off of or was it a show? I'd like to read about it if there's a link.

Thanks again Bill, for some reason the windows don't fit correctly. It is hard to shut the doors. It looks like they are a little long around the top back corner so they don't fit correctly against the hard top. I'll do some research and see why. |
