Hopefully you drank the water while designing the piece and the beer to celebrate when it was done!!!

Seriously, stuff like this is super cool - thanks for sharing!

Here’s the CAD file for the piece. And the photos throughout the machining process.

Nice pan!
Is it segmented at the mains?

I'm running a Barnes on my boat engine. Great pumps!

View attachment 572448 So Friday, I stopped in the dyno shop to see the final pull on the NSS engine for the car I caged. It went north of 800 and sounded great. We had to use my dyno headers as his early B body headers didn’t fit the dyno chassis. I took a few minutes to measure the dyno chassis so I could make turbo supports and mounts for my drysump tank, water tanks and fuel pump.

Cheap and dirty way I mounted my dry sump tank and ignition when I went to dyno:

I have a dry sump tank, a cable drive fuel pump, two 76mm turbos, two air/water intercoolers and two ice tanks. It’s gonna be a circus.

That’s the CNC guy’s beer lol.

The CNC guy does. I prefer Bud Light!

The pan is a one off that Andy Finkbeiner made. Here’s the inside. I’m gonna have a double o-ring groove machined into the mounting flange so no gasket is needed.

I was gonna ask if the water or the beer was the chaser....

Knowing Bill, it could be either.... lol

Those are some pretty slick looking parts your having made, do you have the means to do the programs or do you just take a sketch with some dimensions to your guy. Good luck building those monkey bars for your dyno run :thumbsup:

I wish I had the ability. I just gave him the parts and explained what the goal was and he did the rest. Luckily, he’s also a car guy with a twin turbo SBF Mustang so he gets it.

I got the radiator in along with the fan shroud. I put on a water pump housing and mocked up the fan to make sure there were no issues. The upper radiator hose is going to need relocated to the end of the radiator which probably means using expensive AN fittings and line. At this point, I can’t see any way around that.

I also welded on the rack mounts now that I had the oil pan in hand to use for mock up. I’ll probably use offset bushings and move it up a tick.

You can barely see the top of the rack above the K-frame. A little room to still go up.

Hemirunner · Mar 17, 2018

This oil pan fits so much better than that ugly one I fabricated.

Once I get the steering column in and connected to the rack, I think I’ll rework the driver side header where it goes around the shaft.

I just don’t like this low tube when all the others are tucked tight.

Hemirunner · Mar 17, 2018

I’m still waiting on blow off valves which will go on each side in the positions where I’m holding the wastegate. Unfortunately they’re on back order until April some time.

I can’t dyno without them so we’ll probably move the dyno session back to June or July. I still have plenty to do until then.

The upper radiator hose, could you angle it towards the center of the radiator, maybe an “S” bend and that would allow you run a small 90 hose to the outlet in between the air intake?

Interesting idea. The only limitation would be vertical clearance to the hood and the ability to go over the fan without getting into the blades. I’ll have to ponder on that concept for a while.

Oval tubing, then back to round, kinda like an exhaust system.

Wouldn’t be too tough to do that with aluminum tubing.

5.7 hemi · Mar 17, 2018

Very simple and effective.

69 GTX · Mar 18, 2018

That's what I was thinking about Mike. Using aluminum tubing with rubber connectors, like a boost tube.
