[QUOTE=1932;420297]Went to bleed clutch and can't get to pump up. Perty new but been undone for six months, any ideas?[/did you set up the hard stop on the clutch pedal? i hear you can mess up the bearing\cylinder if you don't set this up correctly ]
Yes on the tilton you need to have a stop on pedal so as to not over extend bearing.
Used a pump and got air out.
This is new cut out to take off trans top and unplug lockout and rear light, the the trans cover to start with uas to big. So had to make new cover.
On the water recovery tank i made it as close to mustang as i could, top of engine and top of radiator (no PSI cap) go to top of tank and bigger hose from bottom goes to water return to engine. Am waiting on neck and psi cap to put on tank. Hose from top of radiator is restricted.132440132441132442
Did not like the parking brake handle, so with welder and grinder and no other parts i made this.132524132525
Went to start engine and turns over but no go! No codes?
More checking wiring and so on.

Make sure you check your inertia switch if you used it as I forgot about mine when I tried to start it.
Found the problem, a bad wire on head temp and had the crank and cam plugs backwards. Did not think ford would use the same plug for both!
Coyote water setup does not use a cap on radiator, so i put a plug in overflow and put a fitting in top of tank for the bleed line. This seems to be working as ford setup.132995132996132997
Because i am going with the chiller setup i put in a intake temp sensor with warning light if temps go up, ( lose of AC or water)
Well i did the last thing i wanted, over extended my TOB! Dam this is going to be a lot of work.

DOH! Seems to be happening to a few lately...
IT was set for the same TOB but went with tilton twin disk clutch, so was thinking it would be good to start with! Owell almost ready to pull engine and trans.

what is TOB ?
throw out bearing..
OK got engine and trans out. The TOB collar is tight on trans tub, so i think that maybe the collar was not all the way tight to housing, making the setup
with to much room when collar moved back.133198133199
Will hone collar to fit better.
Well that collar was not round but the other one was good, i don't know if it was the cr or just to much peddle.
But we got it back to this133278 today and will get headers and turbos and the other parts on tomorrow.
I looked at just the trans but with the T56 it is to long and will not drop down to remove, so out with engine and trans.
All up and running, now waiting on the killer chiller.
OK got the killer chiller, all in good shape. This is what you get with the drag setup.[ATTACH=CONFIG]135080[/ATTACH
Looking at how to set up for best use. As you all know there's very little room, and a lot of that is hot. Going to change the turbo and wastegate water from intercooler water to engine water, that will move lines up top for more room for ac and water lines under beside engine.
The ac hose and fittings are different car to chiller kit, having hard time finding fittings to mate the two. Looks as i will have to make the tees or adaptor fittings.
Custom is more time and money!
Got the water lines for wastegate and turbos done.135851135852135853135854
Wastegate water off deair fitting on engine and turbo water off top of radiator.
Been slow, but got the new water hoses (reduced barrier ac hose) in. Ran the cold side in cab thru fire wall then down in floor and between fram and body and inside fenders to pumps. 136772 Return lines under car.
Put chiller low with tanks on top, two lines into tank one out to chiller then into tank and out to pumps. Hose with fitting i made leaked so made over, looks to hold vacuum, if good will charge. Need to insulate tanks and some lines.136773136774136775
It seems that this has been harder than need be!
Had car out for short ride! Been to long. All went good with intake temp 70 and engine temp at 160, need to get tuned as new engine ( custom intake cam and lower compression, and lower intake temp). Running with out fenders and side panels to check on all engine parts, can not see or get to them. Need to put head lights on to be legal136828.

Tuned at 716 RWHP. Need better intercoolers.
Made myself more work. Spun and went in ditch! Have parts on the way, is better than it looks.
AS always i am for safety parts, high back seats, harness, and cage.138195138196138197
Not gonna lie, that looks like a lot of damage.

That sucks....sorry to see this after know how much work you put into this thing.
"Spun and went into the ditch" from slick roads, a little too much fun, or did something break?
I just go-carted mine this weekend and I thought of every one with big engines in these things. I only have a basic 302 in mine and barely getting on it both from starting out and shifting between gears I can cut the rear tires loose so I cannot imaging how squarely (yet very fun) these things are with a ton of HP.
Good luck, let us know how you make out.

Glad you are OK. Cars can be fixed.

Worked on car and is better than i thought. Bumper, brackets, radiator and fan gone. But custom bumper brackets and sway bar can be fixed.
The lower control arms are gone but the upper arms look good butt i will change all the control arms out. The custom fender brackets and lower water parts are a problem. Was going to change out intercoolers, i can get to them now!
PS rear control arms need to be changed out, will do both sides. Wheel put a small hole in my custom gas tank-- have not come up with a fix yet.138375138376
Front is ready for new parts, fedex to bring FFR parts 12/10. So will start back together!!138977

Glad to hear it was better than it could have been. Good luck with the rebuild
FFR is shipping most of the parts (some on back order) i need to work on car! Making and molding parts is more fun the first time.
Working on new intercooler, building water and air tanks.140459140460
This is the difference inside of coolers.140461140462.
Any ideas on fixing gas tank? Very hard to get out. Use argon to get o2 out and weld?140463 this does not sound good!

After a couple of close calls, I am looking at the front bumper now. Which company did you go with?
The new one is UP, other was bob drake. I liked the bob drake better but was not available. Both are stock 33.

You can get similar ones at Speedway Motors too.

Had problem with steering rack- lots of play on right side. Read in pickup forum about right side bushing working out. That was the problem with my manual rack.
My fix -158158158159158160158161
Wet cloth around rack and weld, all good.
Metal is one inch pipe.
The bushing was good just put back in and new part to keep in, no lose of steering movement.
Changed the wilwood front brake kit (140-12048) front pads to Hawk DTC 30 (HB645W.490) )
I am very happy with with braking now.

I am usually a function over form guy, but I do have to say that I really like the look of the Wilwood front brakes.
