My car unknown to me at the time of the DW pump install already has a Walbro 255 and it never gave me issues. Ordered the whole new pump assembly like you guys installed hoping it will solve my issue because many others have had the same issue with the DW pump. Was just curious what your experience as been.

Whatever engine ends up back in this car, I'd highly recommend the head cooling mod. On the 2v and 4v the back of the heads actually deadhead cuz there's no coolant flow, so cyl 7 and 8 will overheat on boosted motors. Basically pop the freeze plugs and put a coolant crossover between the two. Lots of info about it on the web, good luck with your rebuild! Gonna stay tuned every step of the way

@@Sleeper_Solutions The uneven temp across the head and added pressure in the cylinders has been known to be problematic in 2v too when making power (boosted obviously hence added pressure). Again only the driver side dead heads as the passenger side has the heater core inlet there. You can tap a fitting into the crossover and driver side of the back on top of the intake and run a line, nothing crazy is needed. I put AN fittings in both sides of my eddy and got the AN adapter for the pipe from water pump cavity for the heater core (MMR sells it) and was going to Y the back together to the heater core to retain heat. Had all the parts but ditched the project entirely and just ran the rear ports to the crossover under the intake and sold off the intake setup.

Is there a point to splitting to duals? Like maybe being quiet but having a higher flowrate because you lower the back pressure by having two mufflers?

Gotta ask. Why disconnect the AC and power steering pump? I take them off the motor and zip tie them out of the way. I drop my motor out the bottom as well and try to make as little extra work as possible.

Drew's done it before so I was just following his lead. I'm assuming personal preference

The day a tubular k member is worth it's weight in gold lol. Can't wait to see this build come together! Forged rods and slugs will make her so much safer. Just fyi (I don't know your budget) but boss (coyote) rods are know to be good to around 700 wheel or so and are a direct fit(Pistons are different obviously) and "used" to run around $32 each from the dealership. Have no clue on today's prices but those with some nice Pistons would get you set up pretty well. I'd just get a matched set(r&p) so they are balanced but, that's just me. I don't even have a mustang anymore (big YET) but I'm planning on buying one to build when the prices come down out the rings of saturn

pull or at least loosen the fill plug or remove the shifter before pulling the drain plug! Also the clutch cable retaining clip is easily sourced or a E clip works just the same. Unbolt the AC compressor and move it out of the way. In all honesty, unbolt the hood and you had a engine lift,! Pull the intake (since you are anyway!) Unbolt the trans and pull it out the top.

Is this really easier than taking just the engine out by itself and leaving the trans in? If there was a lift in play there would be no question that it makes more sense. I have taken 2 of these out and back in (via taking out with the trans attached) - that can be fun. I was thinking of this method or just taking the engine out solo - maybe less work tbh.

I honestly do not find it easy to pull it from the top you always have to remove the drivers side valve cover and take the trans off which is a pain. Most that pull the engine from the top have to put such an aggressive angle on the engine to get it out and sometimes will have to set the engine on the rack to readjust. It’s never worth the risk of damaging the oil pan. Out the bottom will always be the move.
