What's Under Your Hood?

[Julie GT07CS]

Let's see what's Under Your Hood!!

My uuber clean engine at the Ponies By The Sea Show, October 2007. Some changes have been made after this shot...




Adding some goodies to my engine for a magazine shoot!

[blind]

hmm, which hood?

[Glenn_03Cobra]

All of 'em

[Julie GT07CS]

hmm, which hood?

Like Glenn said, ALL OF 'EM!!

[Eric B.]

I have a couple of things in there.

[blind]

Carli's Tahoe has a mark8 electric fan, K&N air filter, underdrive pullies, MPFI Fuel injection conversion spider, and Hypertech Power Programmer III handheld tuner.
And all new GM Performance Parts Vortech cylinder heads, pushrods, lifters, rockers, and everything above the head gaskets

[blind]

My Harley truck has-
Steigmeier stage 4 ported supercharger, intake plenum, and throttle body
MMR Stage 1 ported PI 2v heads with stock cams
SCT BA-2600 MAF
JLP Ram air intake
Lightning upper pulley (+2lbs)
+4lb lower pulley
OBX Stainless longtube headers and midpipe, with custom X-pipe and the stock catback (which was made by Gibson, and is dual 2.5" and stainless mendral bent)

Here's a pic at 75k miles...


In serious need of mods!
It's boring under there

[Glenn_03Cobra]

Kevin - Is there any advantage of piping the CAI through the hood on the Lightning? Seems like it's an easy route being on top of the blower and with so much room.

[blind]

dunno, the JLP ram air intake I've got pipes it from the fender, and from behind the front grill through a ram air scoop.





works good how it is, I don't see a reason to change anything


edit: or do you mean the plenum? I don't think there's an advantage to either style, the way kennebelle/whipple does it is best for sure.

I'll play...

The R...


The '03


My old 427 Cobra's 392 stroker...


My Pantera's 351C...


And, my '65 Mustang's Paxton 1200 blown 289...

[Glenn_03Cobra]

The '65 must've been a beast! How much power did that Paxton get you?

Got pics??

[blind]

My Fobra hasn't had a recent picture taken under the hood, but here's basically what it looks like -


Since that pic it's gotten MM c/c plates and finally a cobra strut tower brace that clears the motor.

It has a teksid aluminum block, 32v, `96 cobra B heads, ported IMRC delete's.

[blind]

my `89 coupe has this under the hood -

Trickflow H/C, Edelbrock intake/throttle body, ATI Procharger w/12 rib config & 3 core a/a front mount intercooler, PMAS blow-thru MAF...stock 302 under all that, but with a Canton 7qt road race oil pan w/girdle

[Glenn_03Cobra]

What's left on the '89 build? Looks like you've made a lot of progress

[blind]

not much really, it runs fine

needs alignment, dyno tune, some wiring cleanup, finish mounting the gauges and put the interior back together, and to be able to drive it...smog

[Tetge]

I just got to say that enough is under my hood.

[Brakelate]

After Powershift03's pics, I am embarassed to even post.

[Julie GT07CS]

Well, notice I don't have a current pic of my engine...yet.

[Glenn_03Cobra]

Only thing not stock under this hood is the CAI
Fortunately... only 84k miles on the motor so, it's still fresh... I'm thinkin' pulleys and a good tune

[Julie GT07CS]

After Powershift03's pics, I am embarrassed to even post.

Brian's pics don't count because he eats off his engine. bwahahaha

[SVTRonDogg]

Here's my pair:

[Julie GT07CS]

Sexy, Ron.

[Eric B.]

Some very clean engines there.

Ron, what tank is that on your 500?

It's made by PFab. Hard to get these days, supply is spotty at best.

[Brakelate]

Weaksauce. Ford made it in plastic for a reason.


I am not sure of that reason just yet. But give me a minute.

so it can fail out of warranty and they can sell you a new one for $500

[Brakelate]

That must have been it!
