Shane's Corbra's rebirth has begun!

[Shane361]

What part of this ONE THOUGHT doesn't the dork understand?......SOMETHING has went thru the engine.........maybe ground strap in the past?

Danny from Lethal Performance in San Antonio is the guy I have been dealing with. They have a forum also but it is dead as can be. Will send him another email tonight now that I am home. At this point..it's looking like a new engine and my 2.2. Whipple will have to be another upgrade at a later time. -Shane

Bill, could you please send me some pictures of any damage you can find. I'm already getting caught inbetween you and them so things are getting interesting. In one breath he is telling me your nuts and in the next their engine builder messed up. Trying to keep it civil but I'm not doing a great job...:nonono:

Dunno if I can send you pics, since I got a strange email last night about my message was still on the server for you or some crap like that. That was the one with the estimate attached as a PDF file
I'll take some pics today when I get a chance and up load them to my bucket account and send ya the links.

You need to tell this guy that he needs to keep a civil tongue in his mouth.

The email you used I bet was my work email and it has been down for over a week. They have been rebuilding the system. My yahoo should work though Bill.-Shane

i figured out the problem..... its a mustang. jk i would start talking to a lawyer as well and start gettng the ball rolling

 

[wickedstangs]

can't wait to see the progress...

 

[Mach1Marauder]

LOL!.............Thanks Emilio !

I got the crate in last week! As soon as the Melling Oil Pump comes in, I'll throw it on a stand, swap pumps and all the old engine stuff.
The new clutch assy. will be sweet and work well with the rebuilt T56.

[Mach1Marauder]

I had to get the thread revived outta da dead zone archives! LOL!

 

[Renegade]

haha, like all of my build threads are? hey you wouldn't happen to have and 8.8 spider gears laying around the shop would you?

 

[Mach1Marauder]

Nope..........those are usually trashed by the time they get to us!

 

[Renegade]

damn, Ford makes you buy the whole assembly, b@stards

 

[Shane361]

With 5 months down most of the build is paid for. Things should start happening now that the parts are rolling in. 2 months....cant wait to get back to the simple things in life!

 

[VP_07SRT8]

ummmm so where the hell are the pics?

 

[Shane361]

He said he isnt gonna uncrate the FR long block till he gets all the parts in. I dont blame him on that one! But all together she is getting the Aluminator long block, twin disc clutch, coil overs, k-member, upgraded oil pump, caster cambers, some powder painting, tranny checked out. Nothing crazy but with the luck I have had with this car I am very excited. Been about 2 years since she ran rite. Head gaskets and deployments plus homeport shift can hurt progress. Sure it will be a few more weeks on pics but I'm just as excited as anyone else...lol

I wish I had all the money you've spent on this car in the last two years. You would have had on of the baddest Cobras in the country!

But at least now you will have a pretty dang nasty and RELIABLE car that you can have lots of fun with for years to come.

 

[Stangguy]

Glad to hear it's getting done right! Sorry for your bad luck. I know how it feels!

 

[VP_07SRT8]

sad no pics but finally some one is working on your car that wont stab you in the back and do great work
