Yeah...You should start charging Greg for the help :laugh:


nah, like greg I like doing the work, its a good learning experience also. Now I feel comfortable with swapping the motor on my car myself after seeing what it takes to install a motor a few times when the time comes.

Hehe, think you'll have a 3L by the time Greg finishes his Cougar? :laugh:
 
i say.. put a 3L in.. get a HUGE turbo with an amazing cooling system for it.. 250 shot of nos.. and u'll blow the doors off of ANYONE that challenges you.. sept for the top fuel guys :) now wouldnt that be amazing? haha
 
possible but I am still trying to decide if I go 3L when I swap in my HMS MTX or wait and get a turbo kit now and go 3L when needed

Come on Brian! 3L with the HMS MTX first... then you can easily bolt on that Turbo kit soon after that install... :)

I'm doing the 3L with the 01 rebuilt tranny I have (w/ Torsen), and the Vortech SC at the same time, because my Cougar has been sitting for 2 years now!!!
Your SeVT is running great, so why not get the base parts done first, then hit it with BOOST after you make sure the 3L and Tranny are running well???

Just my thoughts...

Hey, basically by having you guys around, I have been giving tutorials on how to remove everything from the SVt and Cougar engine bays!! :laugh:

Most of the time you get free food and beverages, and sometimes FREE parts that i have sitting around, that you might need... Right??? :)
