🔧 BUILD the fancy mechanics new edge thread...

[denmah]

So, my wife felt so bad for me about how 8f8 big red treated me, we obviously talk about builds all the time for her and I and one we talked about a few times would be to build a new edge.

she planned this all out and surprised me the one day by buying me a 2002 v6 car that is really clean and totally functional to swap, what an amazing woman


surprised reveal

when i announced the build a bunch of companies jumped on board to support it, and i cant believe the amount of people willing to help with it.

Dirty Dingo supplied an entire accessory drive for it, including AC stuff.
Holley sent a wild amount of things, including a smartwire, b&M diff cover, oil pan, valve covers, dual runner intake ( snake eater supplied dual DBW 92mm throttles and 210lb bosch injectors)
BSI inc from canada sent me twin 45mm piston gates. VS racing sent me wild ballin out of control 67/62s twin mirror image turbos, and choates coates coated them.
hughs performance hooked me up with a bolt together lock up converter, and hard parts for the 80e build. cameron is building the trans and installing a jakes D3 brake

brian nutter at summit stepped in and offered to give me a rotating assembly wich i chose a weird one, a stroker crank and rods and stock pistons from their pro LS series
engine was assembled by Miller Engines 10 min away from me in north east PA
i have some PCM4Less ported 799.s that miller decked and prepped

so this thing is sizing up to be pretty awesome if all goes well

Pretty excited about this build. Cant wait to see what fancy mechanics can do with parts that didn't come from a mud puddle in the junk yard.

I can't wait to see this thing come together and fly! Gonna be very cool to see what you can do with a built bottom end.
