#49's new powerplant has arrived, let the build begin

[FastFord]

thats awesome!

anyone know how well E85 and N2o would play together? for some reason it seems like a good idea to me. less dense fuel and more dense air???

you've really got me going with this whole e85 thing now. a friend of mine is offering me a walbro 255 for free. it's from a jag XJ6, from the pics he sent it looks like the right one for a contour as well...

a 255 fuel pump, 24lb injectors, an AFPR and a good dyno tune loaded onto my Xcal and I should be able to run e85 with a 75 shot of dry nos kit right?

Why are you asking these questions in someone elses thread that is already waaaay too long?

yeah sorry, my mind tends to runn off to places and I accidentally hijack... I'll start another thread in the morning...

We'll I think I will be looking into building a new fuel tank top hat to house dual 340lph Aeromotive Stealth pumps... Just to have in squared away for the 'just in case' factor if it is required to run the E85 like it seems to be. Here are some shots of the pump and the OE pump. Looks like it's the original pump too based off the date code






Oh and here was my b-day gift from my brother that I just put up in the garage...

why use two stealth pumps at that point, why not boost the one you have with an inline pump? aeromotive makes tons of performance stand alone pumps???

also, out of curiosity, do you plan to pain under the seats and stuff too?

I'm assuming you meant 'paint', but no I am not. I'm painting the inside of the trunk, but no one will ever be tearing up the carpet to see the paint. Regularly seen surfaces or surface that could be see from time to time, I will be painting.

Already bought a replacement lock ring. Did it 10min after taking the pump assembly out.

Tank is in good shape. Yea there is a little surface rust, but its structural sound and intact.

I pulled my walbro pump out yesterday. I definitely need a new ring. I'm not sure why it was so rusted as it doesn't see harsh weather any more. Thanks for the links Sam!
