DATALOGS Datalogging this car has been great, affirming design decisions and money spent on parts. Here are a number of charts from one of our first datalogs we did a few weeks back. Note we still have some dialing in to do - some things are still off in the tune. We haven't been to a dyno...

Other Pictures Here is a picture of the many pieces that come with the transmission kit: This is a custom made oil filter adapter connector, to reroute the oil lines from the engine to the oil cooler and through the PH8A-sized filter we use from the TransDapt kit. Next I will post...

Other Pictures Some random photos of pieces used to bring this all together. Metco lower (crank) pulley assembly, allows to quickly change the size of the 8-rib crank pulley that drives the alternator and blower to change blower RPM. We have 5 other pulleys (and belts) ready to test to see...

Very impressive what has been accomplished here, and in such short time. Well planned out, well executed, with beautiful results. Thank you for taking the time to document it so thoroughly.

Grant I can't imagine what it would be like to go through that as a father of two. Best wishes to you and the family, as you celebrate Will's life and accomplishments. From what you write, you truly have a lot to be proud of.

Electrical and Cooling Work Really sorry guys, I owe you lots of pictures and updates. Had to break for winter, and fighting some electrical issues. As you saw, we were able to drive it a bit last fall, just a few days of cautious testing and seeing where we were at with fuel, etc. It...

Another awesome Whipple thread, good job CIH! Yes time REALLY flies when you're doing these projects, years can go by in a blink. I must admit that I wouldn't attempt to splice the intakes like you are but I'm looking forward to seeing the end results! Hopefully you don't encounter any leaking...

Haven't been on much, good to see this one finally complete and running. Impressive numbers, sounds wicked on the dyno! This thread restores some of my faith in humanity :D

They come off pretty easy, the worst that could happen is getting them a bit bent. They're metal.

All the best to you Dom, Marauders keep my dad and I close as well.

I've got two, send me a PM offer, but keep in mind shipping from Canada is probably another $50. Luckily auto parts are duty free across the border.

IT'S ALIVE It runs, it drives, it's FREAKING fast. Pics to follow soon. Still tuning.

$8,000 OBO. This is a second Marauder that I've had for awhile (don't worry guys I'm NOT selling my usual ones that I post about!) New brakes, new axle seal in the back. Runs VERY strong, shifts smooth, air suspension floats perfectly, and the car shows great for its age/usage. I am...

http://www.mercurymarauder.net/forums/showthread.php?t=70930 The transmissions themselves seem pretty stout, it's just those damn bores that always fail. But it may be time for a rebuild at that many miles. If you can talk someone into fixing it for 2K it might be worth doing, but the...

If this was local to me I'd snag it for 2K if it's in decent shape and no accidents. We have two stock motors ready to drop in :(

Ah yes, we are using an oil filter relocation kit (Transdapt IIRC) - it runs the larger PH8A or equivalent filter. Will be mounted to the frame before the front driver wheel. Pics to follow. The stock filters definitely won't fit in between that adapter and the frame. Brake upgrades not...

Thanks guys, we're really hoping this year will be "the year" haha! This epic project has dragged on...and on...and on... It's been almost 3 years since the motor first arrived!

Boxing Day Engine Drop cont'd The alternator fits perfectly where the ABS hardware used to be, and the Metco bracket clears the front (Addco) sway bar at the front of the oil pan. Still need to reroute the MAF wiring and make a bunch of other wiring connections in the trunk...

Boxing Day Engine Drop On Boxing Day we dropped the motor into the car, headers and all. Sorry for the delay - life's been VERY busy - but here are the pics taken along the way:

Correct, the stock O2 sensors only know whether the mixture is less or more than ideal, and are not able to give you any sense of how far away from ideal you are. You need a wideband sensor to properly log and tune the AFR. STFT and LTFT can only give you a basic idea.
