FS/H Cobra Jet Body In White Project

George Wright · 01-28-2015, 12:05 AM

The rotisserie was disassembled now that the body is on jackstands. All I need to do with the body is trim and roll the front lower sections of the quarter panels for tire clearance. After that the body will be ready to go the the painter.

Pistons and rods were installed. Crank end play was checked and recorded on the build sheet.

Cylinder heads back on. Unlike the 5.4 or 4.6 the cams have to be removed from the heads in order to access the head bolts. Cams can now go back in for final assembly.

Final assembly of cams and chains. Front cover and oil filter adapter were installed.

Other than injectors and fuel rails, the engine is done. I missed getting a lot of detailed photos of the engine build since I have been busy in the other building working on the body. In the mean time Jimmy has been busy getting the engine completed.
