Welcome to the NEW Hurricane Motorsports discussion group.
Take time to browse around and get familiar.
Very similar to the previous forum but
there are some subtle differences

Any changes to the parts used? And will they still fit the series 1 and 2 cars? Glad to see things moving ahead.

Excellent news! Thanks Shane for keeping HM going strong. I have watched them over the years and the owners. Always cool to see what new things fresh minds contribute. And many of us are good with answers when anything is questioned. This forum is a great asset so again thanks for keeping it going. Glenn.

I was holding my breath when you were cutting the hood! Glad it worked out. I'm in the same boat (no hood scoop) and good to see that tip. A dropped base bottom air cleaner or a aluminum flat base plate Ford used on the 66 427 Fairlane are options. But can compromise carb space a bit. Anyway keep up the good work!

Using those FATTY Remflex exhaust gaskets. Feet will be toasty will those pipes underneath! And no exhaust leaks....I hope.
**** Wanted to add a note....*** So if you have a newer offshore made engine hoist. There is a GOOD chance if you leave it under pressure, it WILL lose pressure. Mine is from NAPA. So be careful how long things dangle in the air! Have never ever seen that happen. Crap hyd seals.

I'll resize and post more asap. Had to get a mini starter to fit with the header. The ol fatty stock style was not happy with the fit so out it went. I want to use a Ford style solenoid so I have a jumper wire on the starter to bypass one on starter. All about the look!!

This site hates my pics lol..... This week I can finally get the clutch setup and working. Engine is about 70% mocked up. Few things left to buy for that. But things together I can verify what is needed (a fanbelt lol) and get the oil adapter on and hooked up. Intake final install. Rear transmission mount installed. I have a nice Prothane mount, Super heavy duty. Was going to use a stock trans mount but the rubber is like paper. So yes I have bought some doubles on parts.

Well it has been some time since I made any updates here. Been a 1 step forward 3 step back kinda thing. Bear with me.....
I watch Brent Lykins Motorsports youtube channel a lot. One vid he was reviewing a factory sideoiler block. And he pointed out he needed to install a pipeplug in the bottom rear by the oil pan. This is one of the holes Ford drilled for the sideoiler passage. I went to my saved pics of my engine and saw it was missing!! Easy fix with a new plug. This made me think if the shop forgot anything else. Of course the engine was in the car with bell and trans bolted up. So it all came out. I also forgot to install the distributor drive shaft in the block. Rookie mistake and I know better. I noticed it back when we first got it together a year ago in the car. Sitting in the bag top of my tools. I was going to try to monkey it in from the top distributor hole. But chose to do it correctly with the oil pan off. I also internally inspected the relief valve assy inside the block. Oil things up a bit and be 100% on everything was good. So some muscle getting everything out the the engine back on the stand. That missing plug on the bottom of the engine would have netted 90psi of oil on the floor. I sent Brent a email thanking him for that vid. Saved my azz. But wth new 2 pan gaskets, the distributor shaft in and all plugs in place it all went back together. My iron heads have been milled a bit. So I'm using the Ford PI intake to get it running. That had been milled a little so it all seemed to work and line up. The FE engine has the intake as part of the valve cover rail. So the head and intake need to be close and level. I may get new heads down the road and then use the Blue Thunder intake I had planned for it. And throw in some personal havoc but things are getting back to normal. I'll add some pics below.
