I've had a really difficult 2014 and I just jumped off the grid on most every form of online communication. Well I did do a semi expensive form of therapy and I rebuild my engine and it is really strong now. I hope our club will do a dyno gig in the future as I'd like to know exactly what I have.

A few pictures of my Scarlett.

I kept quiet about things as I am really private and frankly we all a lot on our plates to be worried about other folks. But nevertheless I look forward to catching up with you all this year.

I still have things to do un der the hood to clean up some holes and whatnot and it is always a work in progress. :thumbsup2:

Looks good Dirk! Hope all is well.

The NVMC is planning a dyno day in the near future, when I have details I will post them up on this site for all to see

TY sir. Slow and semi uphill process and horsepower does add to the recovery process nicely.

wonder where you got off to.... hope all is well and its funny because I just started the same type of project. I cleaned and painted me up a Explorer intake. have new fuel rails and regulator... 24 lb injectors, 70mm Tb. i'll get some pics. I only have a couple on my phone. Your project looks awesome by the way!!!!

I opted all new parts and all of the explorer/ Lightening intakes are hinkey and so all new means clean and flawless. And the sound is really strong and open and much more crisp than I expected.

Yep it was costly and I am having that mid-life I guess..... :yikes:

mine is not hinkey...lol...looks brand new after cleaning and some cast blast paint..everything else is new besides the 24# injectors. i see your new radiator and elec. fans and headers :) did you get new heads too??... i had to throttle back as my oldest daughter just got engaged....all of these parts i have had in my storage for a while!!!

Yes new edelbrock heads, e-cam rods, lifters, valves, injectors. Honed the cylinders our and new rings and bam.

BTW hinkey referred to the ones online and the prices and so I figured for the same price I can have new and plug and play and no wondering. New computer also and I have new struts and shocks and my ole girl cruises like a new car except for a little wind noise. That dual fan kicks but and with my thermostat at 155 degree it barely comes of 130 degrees because of the cold weather. Those fans pull a lot more air in at a constant speed which I think is a value add overall.

So happy hunting and looking good and hopefully this year we'll cross paths.
