So I've pushed my stock shortblock as far a im willling to take it. It made 478hp 427ftlb with a s-trim, patriot heads and stage2 cams, and ran a best of 10.81 @ 126.9. Im super happy with what my 2v has done but i know i can go further with a forged bottom end.

Now I dont have all kinds of money for a brand new built sb, which is why i went with a termi build. And it helps to have a friend who is selling a cobra shortblock and is willing to take payments. lol The major changes in this build will be the shortblock, long tubes, ported professional products intake, and a si trim upgrade. The s-trim was making about 12psi @7k and i hope to be around 16-18psi with the new blower.

So far I have the engine on a stand, and im tearing down my current setup. I should have the heads off tomorrow and start assembly this weekend. It might take some time but ill update with pics and info as i go along. Enjoy!!!

Thanks guys! Here is today's progress, finished the porting on the intake and installed the new cobra oil pump. Might do some more work on the runners to smooth them out a bit, but we'll see.


as you can see its more of a gasket match then a full port job, but it helps!

Made a little progress today. Laid some paint down on the timing cover and intake. They look good in the pics but up close kinda looks like poop.lol No one is ever really gonna see it so its good enough for me

I had a balancer crap out on me which caused the damage to the cover. But with the replacement balancer on you cant even see it.

To be honest i was gonna keep it 6rib and hope for the best. Lol. Ill look into the 8rib setup tho

---

lol, theres no way youll get away running that many lbs of boost without slipping but you can try..Who knows, maybe youll get lucky.. If you want to keep it 6rib atleast look into a Innovators west overdrive balancer to help you achieve those boost levels without spinning the blower much harder.. Nice build, i follow you on Youtube also..Im sure well run into eachother at the track here shortly

there ya go. Thats my configuration as well. Should be good for 15-17lbs. might be less with your topend.

Love seeing quick 2v's..

---

From I been seeing a 3.12 pulley with an 10% od pulley will get you 15-17psi

A 10% od crank pulley with a 3.3 pulley should put you around 13-14psi.

revving to 7k rpm's like he does, it should be more than 13-14 psi..

Got one of the heads off and started to brake it down for new valve seals and to lap the valves.



I need a garage. Doing a build like this at an appartment car port sucks.

I started putting the longblock together and hit a snag. Found out that i have a bent valve on cyl #6, which is very surprising seeing how well it ran before i pulled the heads off. Looks like i need to track down a valve since patriot performance was sold to mod maxx. I hope they can help me out.
So these heads were on a built motor that kissed that valve when it blew. So i bought a new valve, lapped it and ran it like that for years. But i guess when the first valve bent it hit the seat and knocked it off kilter. And a new valve hitting a uneven seat bent that valve also. So now i need to get another one. I also need to send the head to a machine shop to see if they can cut the valve seat or replace it. The other head checked out so i went ahead and put it on after i put all the arp hardware on.




Also took apart the intake manifold to start porting the runners, but ran out of the round flapper bits. Going to finish it up once i get some more.

Damn that's crazy with the valve being bent. Your car was running pretty damn good for having a bent valve lol. Keep it coming bro it's coming along good.

So I know I haven't updated this thread for a while. Bills, the bent valve, and financial obligations kinda kicked me in the nuts on this one lol, but Im past that and I've been gathering parts for the build and getting close to having everything I need.

Me and my wife took a trip to Tahoe this weekend and while we were there we made a trip to Summit Racing to get parts since its only 20-30 min from where we were staying. Not pictured but I ordered the replacement intake valve I needed, should be here in a week

New cobra hat/twin pumps. Im going to do the pprv delete soon also.


Lethal performance fuel line upgrade kit


Canton Windage tray

Another update. I decided to put new rings and hone the cylinders. Thanks to a co-worker he had an almost complete set of rings for it, all I need to do was call up seal-pro and order 8 bottom compression rings for the kit. I m not going to lie, I kinda boo booed some of the rings and cut the gap too wide(hey its my first time). So I just need to call and get a few more.

While I was talking to Don at rpm we decided that it would be a good idea to get all new valves for the heads as my old ones were starting to mushroom around the keepers. So I got a new set of manley intake/exhaust valves, and the heads are currently at the machine shop getting worked on! 5 angle valve job, resurface, set the installed height clean up the guides



everything taken apart

ooohhh SVT Manley!

nice hone

Almost all gapped and ready to go(except for 3 bottom rings)

My cars new home until the motor gets finished.

Thanks. The whole shortblock is factory 03-04 cobra. I got it for a good price and didnt want to mess with putting the guts into another block. I know i could save some weight with the aluminum block but this one was a complete pretty much ready to go setup, just honed and ringed it for peace of mind.

True they are a weak link along with the gap on the rings are tight from the factory. I just don't have it in the budget for pistons right now. Eventually I will fix the set of c heads I have and throw some good pistons at it, but for now with my power goals the factory cobra pistons should be more then enough. Thanks man!

I think at your power levels with the S-trim youll be okay with that block. Build looks good man, i love watching your car launch! ha

So I FINNALY got all the rings sorted out. lets just say there is a learning curve and I needed to get some extras. And I also finished the final assembly of the cylinder heads and got the long block all buttoned up.

I tried making a short time laps video with the GoPro and this is the first time using their editing software. I actually ran out of space on the memory card when filming, that's why the video ends suddenly. hope you guys enjoy and if you have any advice for camera placement like higher or closer or whatever just lmk.

Update: the motor is all done and installed in the car and runs like a champ! I started putting it in on Saturday and came into work early on Monday to finish it up. It would have been done Saturday but I kept hitting snags, the biggest one being finding a serpentine belt. I guess it wasn't really a snag, but an inconvenience because our parts guy said we could get one quickly. Over an hour later our supplier brought the wrong size, then another hour later they said they haven't left yet. I got tired of waiting and just went down the street to car quest and was back in like 15min. The other snag was having to fight the damn qa1 k-member. The fitment just sucks with that thing. Oh well it's all done now. I just need to install the fuel system and set date to get it tuned.

I tried to make another time laps video and everything was going well until I turned off the camera half way through and forgot to turn it back on. Smh, oops. I do have a "first start" video that I need to edit and upload, ill get to that soon. But here are some pics for now.

The badass IW balancer I got from "yellows281" thanks again bro!




ready to go in

---

They actually worked well.....and honestly the real reason we went with these is because the 185's were on backorder and we could not get them. When the car was towed into the shop for this build....it had the 185's on it.
A shop that will remain nameless had installed them 6months prior, and the motor seized up on the customer.
In the vid you can see what we found when taking the motor out.
Metal went completely thru the entir motor, damaging the cam journals, so a new set of heads were mandatory.
Tried to get another set of 185's but none were available....the only thing out was the RACE 195's, and only 1 head was built. We had to wait a month to get the second one.
But they worked out GREAT....along with a set of MMR Blower Cams.

Down the line we're going to run E85 with this car and see how it responds....it's already set up for it, as you see the customer spared no dime in this build, the very best of everything.

Damn that's a pretty cool build. How did you guys like the TF 195 race heads? Always thought it would be cool to get a set of those but thought it would be a lil overkill for my setup....and I couldn't afford them lol.

---

They actually worked well.....and honestly the real reason we went with these is because the 185's were on backorder and we could not get them. When the car was towed into the shop for this build....it had the 185's on it.
A shop that will remain nameless had installed them 6months prior, and the motor seized up on the customer.
In the vid you can see what we found when taking the motor out.
Metal went completely thru the entir motor, damaging the cam journals, so a new set of heads were mandatory.
Tried to get another set of 185's but none were available....the only thing out was the RACE 195's, and only 1 head was built. We had to wait a month to get the second one.
But they worked out GREAT....along with a set of MMR Blower Cams.

Down the line we're going to run E85 with this car and see how it responds....it's already set up for it, as you see the customer spared no dime in this build, the very best of everything.

The owner somehow grenaded the stock motor and seized it. No oil was found in the engine when we tore it down. Checkout the video.

Dang that sucks. Seems odd tho, i was under the impression that the trickflow cam journals were replaceable.

It made some great power on 93, curious what it will put down on e85. Are you gonna spin the blower any harder on e85?

---

They are replaceable

So I finished putting some of the footage together into another video along with a first start clip. The video is kinda long, but there was a lot to do to finish it all up. It would have been longer but I had forgot to turn the camera back on for the installation part. oh well. I also changed up the music too, a lil more what I usually listen to. Enjoy!!!!

Dyno results are in!!! It made 548hp @6925 and 455ftlb@5250 on 13psi. To be honest I thought it was going to make more boost but oh well. My goal was to hit 550rwhp and it pretty much made that the first pull. Pretty stoked about the power, and it feels good to get on it again!

Here is my graph over my last setup

Damn nice numbers there with that boost. With that pulley setup you're right on target with the heads cams and long tubes IMO. I figure once you get used to this and you do the Si or jump to a JT you will be pushing a lot of power! The Si alone with a 3.125" pulley will be at max rpms at 6500 and that should get you damn close to 600 of not more and a JT probably 650 with pump gas boost!
