It all started with Dads words "wanna race".

dad bought a 07 c6 a few months back, shortly after i got a bone stock 90 GT. then came those words "wana race". i told him "give me one year".well, the start of my new, huge, limitless money pit as takin off. got my motor and trans yesterday. motor looks great. looks like a fresh rebuild. i got it from a friend whos dad was building it so not sure yet on how much machine work, pistons, rods, crank. pistons look new from outside and theres some work done to heads. goin with edelbrock RPM heads and intake though. if every thing is in as good a shape as i think ill put it in as is, and go from there. so an engine stand, motor mounts, dizzy, ign sys, carb and headers are next on my list. then drive shaft, axles, gears and dif. then heads and intake and..and.. cant wait to get started. heres some pics of what i got so for..

oh, can any one tell me what hp/tq a stoker c6 yoke is good for? need one of em so any info would be great. any other BBF fox guys out there that might have any tips? i hear a 460 truck oil pan and rear sump will work. can anyone verify? ive seen the swap kits but just tryin to save a buck or two.

I used the Ford Racing 460 Fox Swap Oil Pan on my 89 Mustang.I think Ford Racing also sells the motor mount swap kit that works with the Hooker 460 Fox Swap headers.I think the stock 5.0 front springs will be okay with the 460 i still have the stock 4 cylinder springs on my car.If you have any other questions just ask i'll try to help here's a picture of my car i have a lot of pictures i could e-mail to you,Later Mark.

Looks like it is going to be alot of fun, keep us posted as your build progresses:cool:

thx, will keep posting on buil for sure. hey Mark, have you heard that a 460 truck oil pan will work? just lookin to save a bit.

thx,
mark

i love to use those words too ------ good luck to your build and welcome to the site

i love to use those words too ------ good luck to your build and welcome to the site

thx for the welcome bruno, and the help on other posts!

Yes, an oil pan from 80"s though mid nineties truck will work fine. They even have a screw in dipstick tube which a think is better than the Motorsport pan with a O ring dipstick tube.

The pans that work are usually on 4WD trucks alot of the 2WD have a huge rear sump pan not the double sump . I believe the 2WD pans are like 8 quarts but dont come close to working . The motorsport pan kit is down to $125 comes with pan , pick-up , dipstick , and one piece pan gasket the one piece gasket alone was 50 bucks last time I checked .

gonna go with:

D&D:

429/460 Street/Strip/Bracket race swap kit; includes heavy duty motor mount kit, 6 qt. oil pan, pickup & dipstick kit, 2" long tube headers-1 piece design headers

alum. rad. (hope its still on sale!)

10" torque converter(still workin on stall)

Summit:

moroso billit water pump

perma cool trans cooler

Jegs:

460 ready 2 run MSD ignitition


and all the little stuff needed to use these, ill keep ya posted.
thx for the support, help and info guys!

heres dads car, hope to talk em into hittin the strip when im done! ILL BE CALLIN U OUT DAD! lol:D
http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa99/colbyseth1/cid__1050944jpg56.jpg

That bird looks like it would have made a good home for the 460 . I'm a big fan of 80's t-birds . Good luck with the mustang though looks like a pretty nice car .

With an extra 200 lb in the front and gobs of torque traction will be a problem. Get the rearend control arms, gears, springs, shock, tires and so on upgraded before you line up with dad. Spinning for 200 ft looks cool but looses a race awefull quick.
good luck

Ellen and I built my racecar outside too. On gravel.

who needs BBQs and fireworks when u have a productive day workin on on your racecar!

made my own master cyl. braclet by cuttin up the stock booster and made my own plunger from booster internals. seem to pump up fine till i ran out of break fluid. let u know how they come out.


http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa99/colbyseth1/cid__pic_0704.jpg



http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa99/colbyseth1/cid__pic_0704jpg2.jpg

couple more pics. yes, the master cylinder isnt centered in my home made bracket. not sure if im gonna redo or not. and no, the home made shaft isnt crooked. pic came out kinda funny


http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa99/colbyseth1/cid__pic_0707.jpg



http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa99/colbyseth1/cid__pic_0707jpg5.jpg


moved the shaft pivot pin on break pedal arm up about 1.5 inches and turned shaft upside down to make angle right. buddy andy got me a steering wheel w/ no airbag too. much better.


http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa99/colbyseth1/cid__pic_0707jpg2.jpg

Lookin good man keep up the work and good pictures

trans mount and steering u-joint came in this week. did a mock up on steering, and made usable but not permanant just in case of header clearance. it rolls, stops, and steers. hears a pic. ill take better ones today.


http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa99/colbyseth1/cid__pic_0710jpg4.jpg

the progress made yesterday afternoon with the help of of my buddy Jeremy. everything went smooth with no problems except messed up threads on a stock torque converter that im not gonna use any how. trimmed the the first three threads off the stud. smooth sailing from there. everything fits great!


pulled it down the street to moms to use her drive way after we bench pressed the c6 in

Yea. Booster and valve cover clearance is an issue. There is kits to convert to manual brakes available out there. I think maximum motorsports has one, along with others.

Yea. Booster and valve cover clearance is an issue. There is kits to convert to manual brakes available out there. I think maximum motorsports has one, along with others.

When I did a big block in an 84 I used a booster & don't remember it being super close but I made my own mounts so that might have helped me clear.

Good luck.
