They would remove the rubber isolator from the crankshaft sensor and move it to advance timing, also. Move it the other way and it will retard. Located at the bell housing are of engine. For the TSB there is no programmer required when installing the v-10 fan set up, just put it on and run it.

 

Thanks, buts it's actually a two part question.
i was wondering if the v10 fan is a different diameter so it would require the new shroud indicated in the tsb. The tsb lists the fan, the drive and the shroud.
i knew how to adjust the cam sensor just wasn't sure how to do it in the driveway other than moving it and driving it. Thought I would need a dyno to check it but being lifted and on 34s she doesn't like being on a dyno.

i thought I would try the programmer instead of my reburned computer since in order to make changes to my computer I need to send it back east. So I was hoping the person who found the great deal on eBay could post an item number or auction number.

 

Those cracked heads probably didn't help any with your temperature problems

Sorry about that. Here is the link to the auction.

Steve, I most likely cracked them when I overheated it that one Labor Day. lol!

 

I didn't think @ when I did the fan swap, I just got all of the parts and did it. That is an outrageous $ for the shroud, mine was in the 70 buck range iirc.

Did a lot of sandblasting today. Got Prep and Prime on everything and will galvanize the motor brackets, crossmember and skid plate tomorrow. Then start painting it all.

The oil pan was thick with sludge.

Crossmember

Aluminum bracket, debating on simply clear coating it or painting it.

Ugh

Picked up a new water pump under warranty today. Will clear coat it as is tomorrow.

Also ordered a new idler pulley and tension pulley.

About to order a new alternator.

I basically want as much new stuff on the new motor so hopefully I'll be up and running for awhile before something goes out.

Still debating on stock distributor or MSD.

Sandblasted some more parts while waiting for new motor.

These have been treated with Prep and Prime. Now to paint them and then clear coat them.

Clear coated this piece the other day. It's smooth and will not retain dirt or oil anymore.

Here is my tranny skid plate galvanized. Will paint it red, then clear coat. Also will do the same to the fuel tank skid plate.

Oil pan just needs clear coating now.

Waiting on clear coat

Found that the crank shaft sensor is cracked, time for a new one.

Broke down the distributor and made it new again.......except I saw this. Looks like the shaft was wearing improperly on one side.

Plus the dark red looking plastic thing with the pin through it broke apart as it was brittle.

So I'll get another distributor from O'Rielly's for $109.

Motor should be ready any day now. Pretty much got everything waiting and ready now. So I have been working on roof rack again.

Transmission should be ready Tuesday. He is putting in a new torque convertor, electronics, clutches, bands and a shift kit, all high performance. Cost me 1500 bills.

Here is a lot more parts I blasted, painted and cleared. Though most were brand new and got cleared right out of box.

looks great

 

I am definitely putting a transmission cooler on.

But was wondering everyone's thoughts on an oil cooler also.


TapaTalk Pro rules!

 

Couldn't hurt, especially when towing as you do.

 

Yea, my thoughts also. Been looking at a lot of them trying to decide on which one.

I can do side by side ones in front of the condenser as long as they don't disrupt my AC cooling.

And BOOM! Christmas finally! lol!

Also ordered these yesterday, since I removed, blasted, sanded, painted and cleared the radiator support.

I also ordered these and a double gauge pillar pod.

Love the project. Can't wait to put a new motor in mine.

 

Awesome project, like how much detail you put into each step. I'm sure you can't wait to get the time to put it together now!

What headers did you buy?

 

I have been running the Mike Leach PPH headers I bought in 2009.

It lives!

Gotta fix the one spot where the fan rubs the shroud. Easy fix, just cut the shroud in that one spot.

 

I take it the fan shroud is making that weird noise?

 

Yea, it was hitting an area about 1 inch long. Quick easy fix.

 

I ordered this transmission pan today. Will get here Wednesday.

The Mopar transmission temp gauge has the sensor that screws into side of the pan. I would have to weld a bung fitting to it.

This pan is not only a deeper one, it also has the bung fitting welded to it already as well as a magnetic drain plug.

Holds three extra quarts.

I haven't gotten it to the dyno yet. Hopefully Friday.

But when take take off, even when I floor it, it takes off exactly like a new muscle car with the anti-skid setting.

It's real slow on take off, but once it gets going, it'll move.

Even on wet pavement I can't spin the tires.

Make sure to get a Tune!!!
