<![CDATA[Update on the stang]]>Picked these up from the cities last weekend for a steal! 🙂 They are the GT40heads that came on the 93 cobra mustang and some explorers. Just got them back from the machine shop today and got the green light to start building them.
As soon as i get my package from Summit i will be doing electric fans and an A/C delete. So muck work to do! Should be enough to get the pony going a little quicker. :icon_salut:

I was way too eager to get the heads on and running so i cleaned up the heads, and valves without checking the guides and cutting valves and seats. I know i know it was dumb but i had fun with the car for a summer. Guides on cyl 5 were shot.

The heads are compleatly rebuilt with fresh 3 angle valve job, guides repaired and valves cut. I feel good about these heads now. Thats it for an update for now. On the hunt for an ignition box , injectors and a MAF now.

I put a 3g on my vert a couple years ago they still don't charge well at a idle.

Did you swap the pulley from the 2g to the 3g? That is supposed to help the charge at idle issue. I will have to see what mine does after everything is done. Last night it was charging at around 14.3-14.8. As for amps i dont know yet.

Its a upgrade from the standard 2g (75 amp) alternator to the 3g (130 amp). Now i have enough juice to power that electric cooling fan, stereo, and high volume fuel pump!

From this......75amp

It is leaking at the rear of the compressor. Tired of fixing it, besides i never use it. I will be saving the parts if i ever want to put it back on.

Looks way cleaner without it also.
