Bulldog's Tech Day

[Bulldog Stang]

Just wondering who I am gonna have to help with installing a few parts on the Bulldog. Here is a list of parts that will be installed:

BBK Long Tube Headers
BBK LT Mid Pipe
King Cobra HD Clutch
Stainless Steel Billet Flywheel
Aluminum Drive Shaft
Clutch Quadrant & Firewall Adjuster

If you have any expertise in one of the above areas, please let me know if you can help me out. I pretty much got the Flywheel, Clutch, Mid Pipe & Driveshaft covered. Or if you just wanna come out and hang with the other VM Members that are gonna be there, then come on out.

98Aggie... LMK what days DO NOT work for you... Of coarse we need to use your shop.... might as well put that lift to use... LOL

[turbostang90]

If u need some help i have done quiet a few of these same installs, and im sure 98aggie wouldnt mind us doin that at his place....i believe he is only off on weekends. So just let me know if u need something.

[turbostang90]

BTW one more thing....have u already purchased the flywheel? if not i would highly recommend getting a aluminum flywheel. GARAUNTEED to knock off a lot of ET.

Several People (Tech Guys) that I talked to told me that I did not need to go to an aluminum flywheel due to me not cranking out 600 HP... they all told me to go with the Steel Flywheel.... They all said the the RPM's drop real quick with an aluminum flywheel.. is that what I want on a N/A setup ????? And later a S/C Setup ????

Do I have to share with anyone? :twisted:

[Bulldog Stang]

LOL.... Whoever else shows up... Maybe 2 - 20 Packs then

[leedog]

1 for me, and 1 for everyone else sounds good.http://www.insaneindustry.com/images/smilies/beer2.gif

[turbostang90]

On the aluminum flywheel deal.....my car with a stock 100k mile engine making 225hp with exhaust and gears ran 12.9s! I promise......without the flywheel it ran 13.8s. I never had any problem with rpm's dropping between shifts quickly...I just sold my flywheel and clutch setup to a guy that has a s/c on his car and it knocked off .4 tenths in his ET and he never expected this. My brother used to run FFW in the street warrior class and all those guys are running them (if they still run standard trannys since they now allow auto's) Pretty much how it works is that it wouldnt hit as hard off the light, but it multiplys the rate of acceleration. Basically your rpm's come up quick! Im not tryin to force u into any direction, u can do what u would like, but i can help u go fast if thats what u want.

[98Aggie]

Can work on it anytime, weekends are better for me, work straight days. I am going to be out of town March 4th through the 10th or 11th.

[leedog]

STOP EDITING MY POSTS!!! I said Fairies Begone. No it is not me editing your sig. How can I do that??? Someone is covering their tracks very well.

[solowchev]

leedog you know deep down in the bottom of your heart, maybe even below your heart, that you want those fairies back. maybe we should call you FAIRYDOG!










just kidding. dont get mad.

[solowchev]

on a serious note leedog, i have a friend with a stang the same body style as yours and she wants some cobra rims. where can i find some for cheap.

[95civicgsr]

this thread is very funny lol

[leedog]

www.afs.com (http://www.afs.com) or www.afswheels.com (http://www.afswheels.com), can't remember which one is the site, but good one to go to if they want new wheels. Also check around the mustang forums like www.svtperformance.com (http://www.svtperformance.com) or www.thecorral.net (http://www.thecorral.net), or www.stangnet.com (http://www.stangnet.com). Of course there is ebay, but for wheels, that is probobly a last resort. But afs makes knockoffs that are almost identical other than brand stamp, part#, etc. and they are priced almost half as much as real ford oem.

[solowchev]

thanks fairydog. i mean leedog :lol: .




j/k

Try Five Star Ford in Scottsdale AZ, talk to Max. Let him know your a memeber of FFcobra.com he gives pretty good discounts.

[98Aggie]

You know kinda of glad I own a chevy. I had 5 mustangs in my shop today and none of them ran, go figure.


Oh wait I guess there was a GMC truck in there that wasn't runnin.




Had a good time workin on the stangs and the good food and beer. I could have done with out the whinny bitch yellowstang, but she did blow pretty good.

[95civicgsr]

hey dont forget about the cobra/gt killer ;). she was holding it down for the imports lol. it was good seeing everyone again and there were plenty of laughs to go around. ran into a few issues but managed to overcome most. yellostang she def blows. bulldog well he was happy to be surrounded by so much sausage. and 5 non running stangs in one garage lol wish i would hve thought about a picture of that.

[95civicgsr]

btw aggie thats is one hell of a shop you have there,we may have to take you up on your offer ;). thanks for the hospitality.

[Bulldog Stang]

Yellowstangs Whiney Bitch sure does give one hell of a blow job.... So good, she almost blew me off my feet!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL

Yellowstang... you definately need to get a custom sticker now for your car.. you know the name.. make it in black letters for the bottom of the bumber or in yellow for the windshield..... "WHINEY BITCH"

[Bulldog Stang]

UPDATE:


Just ordered the 6-Bolt Flywheel and the guy (Gregory) at gripforce-clutches (ebay id) was very helpful...

they are 2-Day Shipping me the new flywheel for a few extra $$$ ($34.00 to be exact) for a total price of $330... not bad for an Aluminum Fidanza Flywheel.....

They are gonna refund me $285.00 of my original $305.00 purchase..so I am still walking away cheaper than anyone else on the net for Fidanza Flywheels.....

If you are in the market for an Aluminum Flywheel.... I highly recommend this company... they got the products and Great Customer Service.....

[98Aggie]

may have to take you up on your offer

Anytime the sop is always open, and I don't mind helpin.

You never know when you need someone to break those bolts loose for ya.

sorry forgot to add that in there..... LMAO

[98Aggie]

Well I should have defently been drinking more beer tonight, but hey the bulldog is finished and on the road. And bulldog take a easy on that new clutch for a while.

Thanks for Tony and Turbostang90 for showin up and helping. Leedog and whinybitch were a no show.

Looks like it will be another fun day today doing a Cam swap on a WS6.

[Bulldog Stang]

Yes,

The Bulldog is FINALLY Finished!!!!! YEA!!!!!!!!

Everything sounds awesome!!!!!! The headers were not as easy as everyone made them out to be....... Total Time for Headers was somewhere around 10 12 hours, not including the times we had to move em and unbolt em, etc... to get shit to fit.....

I do have a little rattle when the clutch is not engaged at idle.. anyone know what this might be ??? The clutch engages fine, and the pick-up is tremendous as opposed to before.... I must say, I am happy overall, except for the little rattle.... dont know what that is yet.....

Special Thanks to Everyone that come on the 3 days that we worked on it..... Props to the following people:

Turbostang90
98Aggie
^yellowstang^
Leedog
White Lightning
95civicgsr
up2par
Rocky (for getting the pilot bearing out)

I couldnt have done it without you guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[95civicgsr]

you should have called me, we stopped working here around 5 or so. yeah we had a few issues with the headers but we didnt work on them straight through lol. im just glad we didnt have to take off the k member like some of th others have in the past. get some miles on that clutch and get some vids of the dyno. me well....im still waiting for a block. post up some pics bulldog.

Leedog was a no show.



IT was his daughters B-DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Enough Said!!!!!!!!

[wolverine81]

Sorry, I couldn't make it Bulldog I would have loved to help, but I had to work. Glad to see you got finished though. Also, I would love to see your new shop 98aggie, maybe next time.

[98Aggie]

IT was his daughters B-DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Enough Said!!!!!!!!

I know it was, glad he could make it out when he did.

[Bulldog Stang]

*****UPDATE*****


We worked on the Bulldog AGAIN Tonight (Monday)..... It was making a horrible noise from the Tranny.... I diagnosed it as the throwout bearing and tried to work on it Sunday, but didnt have the help nor tools..... So, I called Ford Racing, Mac Haik, and Steeda and talked to Tech.. They all agreed that it was probabloy something to do with the Throwout bearing or the Firewall adjuster not being adjusted properly or the Clutch quadrant not being on the right hook.....

So I went ahead and picked up a NEW Throwout bearing from Mac Haik (THANKS JEFF!!!!!!!) for around $34.00 (with our Discount)... got to 98Aggie's shop and started tearing into the F*&*%@% Tranny again.... It went alot smoother than the last time, due to us figuring out how to get the tranny in and grinding shit off the bell housing....

We get the tranny on the floor and its obvious that the throwout bearing was F&*%$#@ UP. It looked like someone threw it through a meat grinder and stuck it on my tranny shaft... LOL.... Well, we figured out why it did that..... I and I alone did not pay attention to how it came off the first time... What I did was put the throwout bearing under the two arched metal retainers.. the proper fitment (after figuring it out.. THANKS LEEDOG) was that you have to push on the springs and fit the Throwout bearing OVER them, not under em.....

So we get everything back in and installed and ran into another problem... The #1 Top Header bolt decides to STRIP the head.... so after me receiving a phone call that one of my neices is fixing to be Life Flighted to San Antonio and the header bolt pulling that shit.. i was ready to go ape shit!!!!!!!!!! Well, thanks to Leedog & 98 Aggie, they came up with some good ol' fashioned Southern Engineering (98 Aggie is an Engineer) they found a replacement bolt that was longer and re-tapped the Head...
(Glad to see that Aggie got to put his degree to use)HAHAHA :thumbs:

So after more sore hands and cuts and a busted lip (dont ask) everything went back in and the Bulldog got fired up..... Boy did she f*&^&%$ GROWL!!!!!!!

On the way home, she drove smooth like good Kentucky Whiskey.. No Vibrations, No Noises, and best of all, No Leaks or clutch slippage.....

YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


BTW.... If anyone else wants to do Long Tube Headers on their Mustang, remind me to SHOOT YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Get some damn SHORTIE's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Special thanks to 98 Aggie, Leedog and Yellowstang AKA WHINEY BITCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :thumbs::thumbs::thumbs::thumbs::thumbs::thumbs::t humbs::thumbs::thumbs:


Bulldog

[Bulldog Stang]

Oh yeah,

My neice is fine...She is up at University Hospital in San Antonio, which is where I am going in 6 hours......

She got thrown off of her horse and busted up her head, neck and back pretty good... she lost conciousness 3 times...... So keep her in ya'lls prayers.....

Bulldog

[95civicgsr]

[Bulldog Stang]

[Bulldog Stang]

My neice is doing good... No broken bones like was expected..... She was throwing up last night and this morning, but they said that was normal for someone that has had a concusion. She is up and moving around today and ate something, so, they are probably fixing to release her soon..... whew..... Im glad she is OK..... Thanks for the support guys :thumbs:

[98Aggie]
