I knew that ... < grin > Hey can you give me a call? I need to

the new setup.

Thanks,

Cliff

 

I need to have a ride in your beast, also ... That first night you got it done I was too busy dippin the wick. I wasn't ignoring you and Mel and Brian say it pulls like a tractor !!!

 

i am re-installing my vacuum lines. i knew i had something wrong when it would not break the tires lose in 1st i pulled the whipple off last night and i am going to check my plugs before i put the s/c back on. sucks to pull the blower just to look at the plugs. hope to have it back on the road friday. if so i will swing by. plus i have had your impact gun in my cruiser for weeks now lol. i did not want to leave it on your porch. i will bring it back i promise. can not wait to see how your #s look compared to mine. long block vs whipple.

 

Glad to see you're almost back. Mike

 

My fill cap is on the Passenger side; the neck is just a little shorter than on the stock Windsor covers.

 

They come both ways ... You just have to order the right one

Latest ... the bolts for the front cover are different ... Another day ...

 

Yes, Romeo heads use a smaller stud size.

 

Yeah, i wasn't busting *****, i was just honestly looks to see any marks on the rod bolts to see if they were new and was like ummm......

Funny thing, the same thing happend on the 408 i built for my old man's stang this winter. I AM NOT an engine builder and don't claim to be, but he took it apart and is a hack so i figured it was better me then him...haha. Had the whole rotating assembly together and flipped it to put the oil pan on, as i was putting the gasket on with the pins i was like ****!!! I thought it was a crack near the cam journal. Iwas was a casting mark thank god.

What are romeo heads? Are they the 2v 4.6 heads or something?

 

Your pulling the Whipple in order to check the plugs !

Why ??

 

Because it sucks monkey a$$ to change plugs with a Whipple Ricki. And dont even try to tell me or him differant because I dont think there's another L brother thats changed more plugs on a L than me and the facts are it does suck.

Yes you can do it without touching the SC (I have) but the time wasted and fustration is &@$#*(!@#$(!@#%)@$%(@$%(@$&
Next time I'm taking the SC off too

Ahem ahem all Vendors:
WOULD SOMEONE PLEASE MAKE A 2 PIECE UPPER FOR THE WHIPPLE


BEST OF LUCK CLIFF looking Gooooooooooooood

 

Hey Rob

Next time your down at Jim's shop ask those guys how to swap out the plugs.
Removing the Whipple takes a lot longer trying to undo those bolts under the body.
Easy to whip off the IAC valve to get #6 & #7 out.
Use the Snapon 7mm knuckle socket to remove the awkward cop bolts.

We cab debate this all day, I have tried both methods.

Anyway time for a dip in the pool

 

the first reason i took the whipple off was to redo the vacuum lines. i am using JDM's racer kit sketch to run my lines. so the whipple had to come off.

 

OK OK ... I need some Valve covers ... And I have searched for them all over....

Anyone have a good source? Are the BBK about the best?

TIA

Cliff

 

Cliff, do a search online for Team Breed Racing. He makes aluminum SOHC valve covers in all different configurations.

 

I have the oem covers with the oil fills in the correct place but I really can't tell you where they came from because I bought them off ebay.
