T56 Magnum XL front plate (ford fitment) from calimer transmissions with internal mechanical fluid pump upgrade ($1100) option from Ben Calimer. $600 obo
I was able to do some trading with a buddy and get a nice seat upgrade. These were brand new never installed, and they have the old Ford Racing logo which isnāt produced anymore.
I was also able to snag a new, unused FRP rear seat delete kit off Facebook Marketplace for $400. It really...
Also for those curious, hereās what the Billet mechanical pump on the tick front plate looks like. There arenāt many pictures of it out there so enjoy.
Iāll go ahead and do a photo dump of the parts Iāve collected for the turbo kit Iāll be building in the distant future.
I really like the fit, finish and packaging of the Fathouse kits so Iāll be doing my best to emulate that as much as possible.
I purchased a 3D printed modle of the turbos...
Probably not, but itās just something to do later if I feel like it. Since Iām still using an Nguage I could wire in a temp sensor if I felt like it as well.
Well, got some goodies today for the new trans. Used the opportunity to get the updated Tick front plate with a mechanical fluid pump, as well as another set of the billet shift forks.
Iāve got to say actually getting to see the forks out of the trans they seem like way over kill but Iām here...
I have no idea, youād think Iād learn. š
Iāve got lots of long term projects lined up for it. Just a lack of time to do it in. Iāll try and post more updates with pictures on it.
Constant state of shenanigans š. I did some horse trading on a Gforce Faceplated mag xl last year. (Truthfully I was goaded into it by my buddies) and for a car that I basically daily drive it was cool for all of about 5 minutes. About 10 months into that I knocked the faceplate off 3rd gear...
Bump!
Just got it back from my transmission guy. Brand new input and main shafts and brand new 3rd gear. Fresh syncros on 5th & 6th. This thing is ready to rock!
If anyone is looking for a Gforce Faceplated magnum XL hit me up. Cost to build this trans new is around 14k

I know this is a little old, but with the PNP kit do I have the ability to run a second set of smaller injectors. Seems like that would be easier than trying to make my larger (ID1700) injectors idle decent. I realize this would require me to build a separate injector harness, Iām just curious...
Watching it like a hawk. All the plugs looked great after this incident. Once I put everything back together it fired right up and drove like it never happened. Iām thinking I could have possibly over-serviced the cooling system when I first fired the car. Looked like it puked maybe 1/4-1/2...
Nothing but an uphill battle today. Broke the belt for the 4ā pulley on the first rip. Replaced it with a continental belt because thatās all I could get, made a rip to 8k and it puked coolant out of the degass bottle.
We thought for sure we must have lifted a head. We couldnāt believe it...
