SUNNY Z Posted May 16, 2014 Author Share Posted May 16, 2014 Finished mounting the seats last night. Still have to weld the 5th strap tabs to the subframe, but other than that its done! Car is FILTHY! Pass side brackets ... (for the z car crowd) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUNNY Z Posted May 18, 2014 Author Share Posted May 18, 2014 The end of may is winding down, Sunny! You can do it! Heard that. Had to be at work all weekend, so I hardly got shit done. Put in 26 hours the last two days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUNNY Z Posted May 26, 2014 Author Share Posted May 26, 2014 Well the last week was hell for me at work. I put in a cool 102 hours in 7 days. Finally got back in the garage this weekend, and got some stuff done. Finished the new diff mount. Reason for new front diff mount: Both the 14mm bolts holding the diff to the rear mount were quite bent. I knew the old mount was letting the diff move, but I had no idea how much!!! Also got the fuel tank back in. I really like how the sump turned out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUNNY Z Posted May 27, 2014 Author Share Posted May 27, 2014 Also picked up some side work to keep things moving along. Came from an 800whp cobra and was making gear noise. Guess what?! It got hot because the cluster gear was starved for oil!! Anything above 600WHP, ABSOLUTELY put a fluid pump on it, or you're on borrowed time. I have one planned for mine, but not immediately (no Dinero!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUNNY Z Posted May 28, 2014 Author Share Posted May 28, 2014 Filled the monster hole in my trans tunnel last night. Made a template In the car Tacked Welded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RebekahsZ Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 So now you will have to drop the tranny to do any work on the shifter? Looks great, but that looks like a move backward in terms of allowing in-chassis service work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUNNY Z Posted May 29, 2014 Author Share Posted May 29, 2014 The magnum shifter has 6 bolts, and is about twice the size of a normal t56. I would have had to open the tunnel up about another 6" in front of the shifter boot to get at all of them. We'll see. Its easy to cut it back out if I ever need to haha. Its kinda nice not caring about sheet metal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUNNY Z Posted June 3, 2014 Author Share Posted June 3, 2014 Engine harness is almost done. I'm going to fire the car tonight hopefully, and then re-wrap the harness. I had to move, lengthen, or add a bunch of wires so I just completely stripped it. Nothing like cutting up new parts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUNNY Z Posted June 4, 2014 Author Share Posted June 4, 2014 Didn't get much done last night. Ran around getting things (resistors, connectors, brake lines, brake fluid, oil / filter for the daily, paying bills) and didnt get much done on the Z. Leaving tonight to head home for a funeral, so there will be no progress this weekend. Sigh. Its close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUNNY Z Posted June 12, 2014 Author Share Posted June 12, 2014 Yep! Its always a little nerve racking, especially with this being the first motor I've put together top to bottom. She sounds good though (like a sewing machine) LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
