Finally got the diff cooler pump bolted in.

 

Thought I was going to bolt in a driveshaft loop from BMR but it turns out that for a V6 you need to take out the driveshaft and put it through the loop, then bolt the loop to the bracket. Booooo BMR! The loop could have been engineered to go over the driveshaft installed in the car but it simply wasn't. I'll probably order a rear loop as well and will wait till then to put the front loop on.

 

I got this part of the water piping done, except for the clamps.

 

Another pic,

 

Custom made high flow y pipe to join the 2 intercoolers in to one pipe.

 

It attaches here and connects to the heat exchanger on the other side.

 

looks good....did you use a cap and drill it out to accept the 2 pipes?
most would of used a tee to make the connection.

 

That would have been easier but I wanted to have a higher flow rate than what I could get with a couple tees. The water is all basically flowing the same direction this way.

Yes that is a cap drilled out for the (2) 3/4" pipes.

 

I understand why you did it that way. Its all about the flow / restriction
Just an FYI for futer. they do make a WYE fitting (copper)to do just that if you ever come across that need again.
I like many, cant wait to hear that you fired it up and ITS ALIVE!

 

I searched everywhere for a copper Y in a 1" and couldn't find anything, I would have used one of those for sure. Where have you seen those? Thanks!

 

The grommets turned out nice

 

Its a refrigeration type of fitting. I'm sure NIBCO or MULLER or STREAMLINE makes them. You need to go to a store that deals with refrigeration. Some plumbing stores will carry REF. supplies. There is a differance in plumbing fittings and ref. fittings. Size is the first youll notice. Plumbing copper fittings are mesuared by ID and ref. is OD.
1/2 copper in plumbing and 5/8 in ref. Same thing. Its just that ref. uses many differant types of fittings because they only handle a gas/liquad. Plumbing is a liquid/air/soild.
Or you do what you did. Both work and do the same thing.
Its custom work!!

 

Looking good!

The Ford 3.5 Control Pack is now avail. In stock at Ford Performance warehouses.

M-6017-35CNTRL

 

In a bit over 30days the complete engine kit will become avail.

 

If you are looking for the extra bump in power a secondary injector kit will also be avail soon. I managed to get some pics of it.

 

Nice pics! That's a nice looking engine.

That pic of the extra injector setup is from full-race right? I don't think that will fit under my hood.

 

I wonder if I will need it or not , we will see!

 

I've been working on turbo and intercooler piping, getting all that to fit between the engine and radiator has been very difficult. I've changed my plan multiple times. My plan is to only report back here when I have something that works. I've got things roughed out right now and it all seems to be fitting.

I did get the pump installed, I used rubber feet hoping it will be a little quieter than mounting it straight to the body.

Looks great. All you need to do now is hook up the flux capacitor and the time circuits and you're off to 1955
