I'm not entirely sure I see the point of swapping a 4v into a SC unless you plan on making north of 400rwhp (which is IMO approximately the highest either motor will put up with on stock internals.)
I just dumped a 4v for a SC actually (of course that's just because I live a mile over sea level, and I can make up the 2.5psi difference with a pulley.)

yea, its nativedetroiter's bird on tccoa, its been awhile since we've worked on it, i was only able to make it over to help a couple times, 97quickcat was doin most of the work and i guess he got promoted and is workin more or something like that, so far the bird is stuck how it has been for awhile, two female connectors just dont work, so its a matter of either finding a different harness that will work or finding a set of wiring diagrams and goin at it

damn traffic everywhere, so lots of background noise, and that big bridge he drives under is 88 so LOTS of noise
and as for the project...........................................might not make it into chat tomorrow, because were gonna strip the car from all trim etc, yup its time for paint
no more peeling green, black hood, and blue eng bay, all is gonna be that pretty blue just like the eng bay soon, so lots more pics will be coming soon, as the disassembly begins!!!!!!!!!!!!!! all i gotta say is after everything else taking the body apart and putting it back together should be cake

thats right, when are you going to do something to your OWN car???
Thanks,video was taken on stock open headers.Here are few pictures with my unpainted hood.
Thanks,I've had it around a block and everything works.I'll be pulling the engine out soon because I'm in the process of building forged teksid block.
Yes,that's my brothers Mark VIII
My sc was running mid 13s so swapping 4v was a downgrade but I'd never do that I wanted to keep stock 4v engine.I'm building another forged Teksid block now that it's gonna get dropped in over witer time and power adder is on the way
. I started braking drivetrain parts like crazy.5-speed and 370RWTQ was very not friendly to my drivetrain parts.I broke my 5 speed trans 3 times,driveshaft, almost lost my irs pumpkin because mount twisted.My 95sc was a very fun car on the street but 13 sec cars these days are kind of slow.After last visit to the track I run best of 13.5 @103 mph[here is one of my videos 95SC ] and got back home on the trailer with broken driveshaft and the trans and that's what put me over the edge.

I work on my buddies cars, only if food and beverages are supplied.
Chicken sorry for a little hijacking. I'm thinking about changing color on my bird.What color are you guys using?
Derek
We have some projects going around our houses lately so not much work on our cars.He's got everything finished on his blown mark ,he just waiting to get it redynotuned ,most likely 1-3 weeks because the shop is busy now.

the color is a 06+ mustang color "vista blue" look at some of the eng bay pics for an idea of the color. if your gonna change color you should of done that while the eng was out so the bay will match the car, thats why the bird has had a blue eng bay for the last year.
as for updates..............................2 days in the body shop and no work good thing we stripped it for them so they can get a head start

ok so the car has been in the body shop for a week and......................
they've done damn near nothing, sure theres been some work but no real progress, soooo maybe it will be finished by 08, with the speed these guys are going anything is possible, good thing that WE disassembled it or they would probably still be doing that
but heres some pics of whats done so far, and a old one of the eng bay for a color reference

you have to love body work i have not done it in a few months and can still taste and smell the filler and paint at times and i do wear a mask and body gear when you think your ready for paint take a few more days let everthing cure special high build primer nothing is worst then sanding scratches bleeding threw your paint

actually, my putator has a integrated video card (that didnt work and was disabled) so another was added (all before i got it) then somehow the old integrated card was enabled, and was messing everything up 2 vid cards+1 monitor=HELL on my putator, so we are back to using the old one and removed the newer and so far so good, but its late so ill upload some pics tomorrow
