That's awesome bud, was that a mustang dyno or dyno jet that they have over there?

DanSS24 · 12-17-2012, 11:25 AM

Wow...great build and congratulations on an awesome job. I was gonna ask you about the drivability, but I see you installed a 3600 stall converter.

Job well done!!!

ITGuy11 · 12-17-2012, 12:07 PM

Nice job, congrats on the DIY!

To the OP:

are you a certified mechanic? Or did you do this with just using the proper tools, literature and torque wrenches?

sammyv · 12-17-2012, 12:31 PM

Very nice job!

Thanks, it drives really well with the 3600, can not feel the gear shifts but you can hear the engine when it shifts.

No I am not a profesional mechanic tech, sometimes I wish I was. I'm an electronics engineer but always looking to learn new stuff. I did read tons of literature and torque wrenches are a must especially for head work.

Oops, missed your question. They have a dynojet

Nice work indeed. Sounds great. Excellent job.

Very nice work...

I had a 3200 stall with the same trans cooler as you and the temps were around 180 but it didn't take much to drive them up to 200. What speed are you locking your converter at. If on the Highway you should be fine commuting to work.

Oneslowz28 · 12-17-2012, 10:05 PM

very cool, im looking forward to seeing this thing around town.

Mikes2nd · 12-18-2012, 12:31 PM

Did you swap out the L99 intake valves for the LS3's?

Are they sodium filled? Or they were lightweight.

I don't know what the other "head" difference is.
