    A solution presented itself and I was able to reduce the length of more of what I needed by saying good-by to my stock water pump. I also cut the timing belt covers in order to remove them for servicing the water connections, belt tensions and replacement. The whole drive belt is now reduced to...

    That is one big engine...and the challenge on how the heck to fit 10 pounds of something into a 5 pound bag. In this case it was an addition of 3 inches in length which had to be dealt without sacrificing the safety of having the crossbeam behind my back the, major chassis modifications etc. I...

    Hi Dan, It is certainly is a handfull. I have looked before the purchase into some dimensional drawings from Mercury and from what we measured, the heads will clear the side rails by 4mm each side but the rear cross brace needs to be completely redesigned. If it doesn't fit the SLC will see...

    I was able to get some more pictures from the reseller showing a little more detail before they put such a motor inside a box. Other pictures of the SB4 are from Mercury or SEMA. That is not my engine but that is how they look like.

    Thanks guys for the comments, It was an emotional decision to deviate from the known LS world but someone has to do it and be amongst the first. So far I had good support from Mercury and I have spoken to several people there who have provided me with detailed drawings, manuals etc. Also the...

    Hello Mike, Thank you for reaching out. I totally understand and I had times when I did the same thing. It was a learning curve for me and still is. What became important to me was not to get impatient and not to cut corners. I rather wait or start somewhere else on the car if tools...

    Hello Cam, Thanks for the feedback. You are correct, the rods will only compensate for a unidirectional movement, in this case downward. They are only for supporting the weight of the rear shell when opening. It is supposed to reduce or eliminate the deflection on the outer diffuser. To take...

    The diffuser is taking some more attention. I had decided not to use the factory brackets and come up with something that manages to divert high loads of down force produced by the wing into the chassis without flex, windage, rattle and losses. There is also a good chance that the diffuser will...

    This is about the pain in the rear end. I had a little extra on my diffuser. An extra wing which was in the way and had to be removed. It was a little bit like surgery but eventually it was done without leaving scars. I am still working on finishing the surface and rounding all edges.
