Been doing my engine pull this weekend and the only thing left is seperating the torque tube and dropping the engine, it only wants to come apart about 2 inches, how far does it need to go to be out?

This is the only really stubborn problem I have had.

I have everything marked and in ziplock bags so I know where it all goes but I have this feeling that putting it all back together will not be to much fun.

But what I am putting back in is a Speed Force Racing
2.8 Lt monster, John is building me an engine like he has in his car We are talking BIG HP and TQ, can't wait!

You need to pull it all the way off the drive shaft. The best way is to have one person under the car pushing it off the drive shaft while another person raises and lowers the hoist and wiggles the engine left and right. I'd like to hear more about your engine. I am most likely going to do the 106mm bore and JE pistons from SFR. I just ordered the rebuild parts the other day. Good luck!

Chris,

I will try to seperate the engine-torque tube with you tip.

My new SFR engine will be as follows

Bored and sleeved to 106 mm
JE Pistons
Pauter Rods
Crankshaft, Lightened, knife edge, crossdrilled
Flywheel, lightened and balanced
Ported polished and O ring Head
Cup clutch
Balance shafts deleted

Undecided on a turbo, I have a stage 2 Huntley Garrett ball bearing now but, John has some concerns about this being enough turbo for this monster, so I will most likely be selling my Huntley turbo and upsize to a large SFR unit.

This will be used in conjunction with the MAF, 52 lb injectors, adj fuel reg. test pipe, and so on from my blown engine.

Nice!! Well, you won't have any problems with your injectors being too big!!

David Floyd

IanM,
The injectors won't be to big like you said, but I might have to turn up the fuel pressure a little

Looking to be in the 400 RWHP club

That sounds like the same setup I'm going after only without the crank and rods. This is the first stage in a very long listof mods. Stage 2 coilovers, t bar, and sways. Stage 3 MAF and injectors, Stage 4 turbo, Stage 5 crank and rods.
Man I need a new job BAD. This saveings account isn't going in the right direction.

David Floyd

Chris,

If you have not already bought a MAF, you might give some thought on a stand alone system such as TEC or similar, yes they are a little more money, but you are not trying to fool the stock system.

I already have a MAF, but once I recover from this rebuild I will be going to a stand alone system.

*eurospeed951*

Yea those mods aren't set in stone. As always I am having to do thing in stages. it will be a while before I get to the MAF or Tech stage.

David,


Your 52 lb/hr injectors wont support 400 @ the wheels safely. You can do it but it is not going to be safe to drive around like that all the time. We have 96 lb/hr injectors in Johns car right now! I will be using 120 lb/hr injectors in my 3.0L supercharged 951(yes its on the way;^)He has the TEC though.You wont be able to use much bigger injectors then the ones you have with the DME.
