ah ok, yeah I see you changed the head having read the thread properly! Are you getting more power with the Blacktop than with the ST170 head?

[crazycage]

the whole lot is out now selling the box ive just bought a focus rs gearbox for it so looks like ive got my work cut out for me

[Ram]

engine out, bay/engine freshen up, and fitting a box that isnt supposed to be in that bay, all in time for the end of the month lol. good luck mate

[Silversleeper]

Im going to be fitting a blacktop into an xr2i and wondered how the engine mount was fitted as its the side bolting wrap around mount? Would you be able to provide us some pics to show how the mount is fitted to the chassis please?

[crazycage]

i modified a fieste turbo engine mount , got the gearbox to day going to give it my best shot for classic ford show
getting the gear cables tomorrow and the mount for the box then its just shafts and the hydraulic clutch to sort

[crazycage]

the box is all mounted in now going to do the hydraulic clutch today i think that will be the hardest job
the first pic is the focus rear mount modified to bolt were the cradle used to go.

[Ruishy1]

nice work mate, im really wanting another project

[fisher09]

clutch is the easiest job mate, bit of mk5 bulkhead sticthed into your bulkhead and a mk5 peddle box. only bit i havent fully worked out is the shafts for length etc as the box isnt in car yet.

are you running mk3.5 hubs and shocks as you will need to to get the focus shafts into the hubs.

only bit i cant do on mine myself is the mounts as i want them looking factory with nice welds ad mine are also a bit agricultual looking.

[crazycage]

sorted the hydraulic clutch today i used half of a focus peddle box and half of the fiesta one ,next job is the shafts

[Ram]

[crazycage]

been busy in the garage tonight , thats all the welding for the gearbox mounting point done just need to re fit engine and box this week and sort the shafts out

good time today mate did you better the 12.75

just got home had a great time done plenty of runs all in the low 13s and high 12s off gas !!! and with more boost to come . best time i did was a 12.78

[xrsi]

glad to see that it held up and did well.

can you do me a favor and pm me the spec of your engine as i am interested to see what sort of spec it is compaired to the one ive just built to see roughly what mine should do. wont be running gas on mine tho.

[crazycage]

well its time i put a pic of the bottom arms up for all to see ! these should stop me from pulling into both lanes on the 1/4mile lol ,
they have two 22,000lb high angular load bearings and a 33,000lb race rod end bearing with plenty of + and - camber adjustment in them .
will be back at the pod for usc at the end of the month for a low 12.
