Another pic from the other side. All new timing components, oil pump etc.

My buddy Dee at DmFabrications in Huntington, WV (he is doing motor/tranny build/turbo manifold, tune etc) just sent me this pic. He custom makes solid motor mounts, subframe, carrier bushings etc. This is a solid rear motor mount.

That's gonna be lots of vibration right there. Are you doing the other 3 like that too?

 

[rexwagon1909]

Only front and rear. Drivers side is poly, trans is stock rubber

I love builds like this where people take the extra time to do things right, Great job so far! Glad I could help contribute by grabbing you some parts.

 

[rexwagon1909]

thanks man I really appreciate that. You have been a big help, def glad to have good members on here thanks again.

Solid Front Motor Mount done by DmF

 

[GSX_TC]

should last forever right there.

That's going to rattle your teeth out.

 

[rexwagon1909]

It will vibrate but with the amount of power it will make it is necessary. Only doing 2 of the 4.

Quoting rexwagon1909:
Thanks man!! I'm def OCD lol. I am going to have to get one of those tumblers, although I will say leave bolts overnight in a bath of Eastwoods rust dissolver and they come out like new. Just make sure to put a little rust proof primer on the bolt top afterwards and they come out great. Just about every bolt from front end to the rear end has been treated lol



Those bolts came out really well even without using a tumbler.

With results as good as that you obviously don't need to change, but another rust remover I tried out recently that works really well is "Metal Rescue". I was a bit skeptical at first, and the fact that the first batch I picked up turned out to be faulty didn't help! However customer service was top notch, the company replaced the entire batch and the results were awesome. I was thinking of posting up some before and after pics myself. Best part is that it has completely removed all rust from every part that I've thrown at it within just 3 hours!

 

[rexwagon1909]

got motor in car for fitment mounts came out great

This is the custom CNC flange made by Frontline Fabrication in Morgantown, WV for my turbo manifold. All I can say is the guy does amazing work. He makes the sickest valve covers, diff covers, transfer case supports etc.

 

[IncorpoRatedX]

Cant tell if the valve cover is matched to the color of the body or if it's just raw aluminum, either way it looks great!

 

[rexwagon1909]

Here is my friend Dee (DmF) making a custom TB flange for my Q45 TB to Magnus SMIM

 

[rexwagon1909]

Thank you. Just raw Aluminum for now, thinking of keeping it close to that color.

 

[IncorpoRatedX]

body matched silver or brushed aluminum with a matte clear coat would look fantastic against in that engine bay. It's kind of a ricer question to ask but what color couplers, plug wires and intercooler pipes are you planning to run?

 

[rexwagon1909]

couplers are going to be black, plug wires blue and intercooler piping stainless for now might powder coat dunno yet.
