Not sure if hes signed up here, but I have his car. :D
33k on the clock. Procharged, suspension work and piece of #7 & #8 piston missing.

Here is what its getting:

10:1 Shortblock
Heads done (stock)
Upgrade to D1 blower (16psi)
Bigger intercooler and cleanup of the ugly procharger piping
Blow Through MAF and big noisy blowoff valve :eek3:
Return Fuel System
J-Mod
Stainless Works Headers
Gauges including Wideband

Blower is already off getting sent in today.
Shortblock is getting dropped off this weekend.

Should make about 575rwhp or in that ballpark.

I am going to try and have the stock rails modified with bungs welded on so I can bypass the cost of aftermarket rails. Not sure if I can accomplish it, but I will try.

Pics to come this weekend.

Nice! What kinda pistons/rods/crank is going in the beast? Also wondering about fuel to reach that HP with stock cr.

Im using the shortblock taken from Mark's Marauder. (fordosaurus)

Installing a Walbro 400, -8 line and rails. Gonna use the stock feed line as the return.
Also modifying the fuel hat.

Mark's car made 595rwhp with the same setup only he has a BAP.
I dont think we will need one on this car.

Anything over 525rwhp and I promised myself I would never do returnless again.

Heads are in the trunk to be refreshed.
Gonna powdercoat the timing cover only. Also, Im going to modify the stock fuel rails with bungs on the end. Its an experiment but I know it will work good. Saving over 200 dollars is never a bad thing right? :werd:
