4.6 stroker in my Mach1

as much as those wheels are fucking sick. i HATE YOU! i had planned to do the exact same thing, granted it was with a different wheel. but i was gonna have crc do them any everything. now if i do it i'll be a copy cat. lmfao. congrats man those look KILLER. gonna look amazing on your car.
 
FINALLY...my headers arrived today....1 3/4 stepped to 1 7/8 to 3" collector.....
NOW the motor is GOING IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
WILL be taking pics today....have to chase all the holes in heads before I install headers...(just to make sure). Had to "clearance" the mcleod bellhousing slightly...but no biggie...
 
headers installed/bellhousing installed with Mcleod Twin disk. Passenger side fits great. Only only headers stud isnt going to work so need to using a different bolt. no biggie. Drivers side different issue...hits bellhousing so need to 'clearance the bell"..(aka GRIND)...gotta figure out how in the hell Iam going to get the dipstick in...lol.

BTW....i hate procharger!!!!!!!! man...doing did an 8 rib setup and procharger has you "space" out the bracket...LOOKS like it is ON stilts???????? THEN grind on the alternator cover to get the pulley to clear...

Iam thinking this is NOT the way to go...soooooooo....might be changing mount to renegade bracket and go COG....
 
few update photos...had to make a few changes...since I have decide to go COG vs serp belt. installed new 96-98 front timing cover SINCE passenger side cog bracket was designed around the 96-98 front timing cover. installed ati super pulley on procharger which is a sprag pulley and helps take the stress off the front of the crank snout.

Still might have to put a crank support on but no one makes one and it would have to be custom. Installed new ATI balancer (lost my 35Torq bit so finish..naturally)
installed Phil's ABS delete block...

..made a few changes with it since iam installing my line lock in same location and had to order some fittings from jegs to make it work. no biggie but I will post that up when those arrive.
routed fuel lines and found out I need more fittings...( who would have thought..lol)...
started getting brakes put together too....and had to order some brake line clips. For some reason when I told my stockers off...I dont know where I put them...

Bad ass...I was going to have my drag lites done the same way, but sold the car before tires were needed again. I wasn't sure about it's look, but yours looks bad ass. Can't wait to see it running.
 
MORE PARTS ARRIVED...misc fittings and items. Got tracking number from HOB for procharger bracket. Working with a fab engineer whom does a lot of custom parts to work on a crank support since no one makes a BOLT on one. I have ordered two parts (crank support bearing and mandrel) from ATFspeed.com


Will post pics of the process as we start getting closer
 
well...LET the issues from procharger BEGIN....like I said i recieved package yesterday and going over everything listed on invoice compared to what they sent me. SOOO...the invoice states 1-.40" spacer and 5- 1.00" spacers....NOPE...that isnt what I got...I got 5-.40" spacers and only 1 -1.00" spacer...SOOOO another thing to call procharger for Monday.

BTW..went out to Milan Dragway this morning to watch NMRA but rain ruined it for the day...we ended up leaving after 3 hours of on and off rain. DID see some custom setups for radiator and hose ends...
