NS F355 Project (Page 10/73) Yarmouth Fiero JAN 03, 07:07 AM Great idea Troy. I believe there are a few PFF members in Halifax and I am sure Blooz knows a few as well. Have you posted any pics of your car yet? You can put them in my thread if you haven't started one already. Thanks Blooz. I can always add a longer crank handle so we can get a higher mpci output ( mouse per cubic inch). I think the transparent V8 will add a cool factor to my swap fieroaddicted JAN 03, 11:26 AM quote Have you posted any pics of your car yet? You can put them in my thread if you haven't started one already. I posted a few of my engine progress so far, but it annoys the crap out of me trying to put pics on here. lol I can't seem to get the hang of it. Most of what I have taken are on facebook...it's a lot easier. lol fieroaddicted JAN 03, 07:02 PM quote it annoys the crap out of me trying to put pics on here. I finally figured it out and added a few pics on my build thread. BTW do either you or bloozberry know anyone who would want the old 2.8L from my car? troy Bloozberry JAN 03, 08:00 PM quote Originally posted by fieroaddicted: BTW do either you or bloozberry know anyone who would want the old 2.8L from my car? PM sent fieroaddicted JAN 10, 06:14 PM Anything new going on with your build Yarmouth? Yarmouth Fiero JAN 13, 03:40 PM Its been a busy start to the year with work and extra cirricular activities but we got the passanger side rocker frame built and ready for final welding. I'm a little meticulous so we take it pretty slow making sure we are happy with every cut. I also picked up a 4' x 8' x 1/2" Black UHMW that we'll be using for the flat bottom panels later in the build once the chassis gets flipped over. Saturday the boys and I headed up to Martock for some skiing. But the line ups were long and slow moving and $250 seemed like a bit much for a few hours on the slopes. So, like any car enthusiast, we headed to the city and spent $150 at Kartbahn for some indoor Kart racing and then headed over to Princess Auto to pick up a few supplies and a new pedistal grinder. Now that was money well spent. Next step is to fabricate the firewall reinforcement truss. fieroaddicted JAN 13, 03:59 PM geez man, very nice work. Things are looking great! troy Bloozberry JAN 14, 01:03 PM Nice work reshaping those rails. Keeping it neat and tidy goes a long way to getting it certified later on. I'm not sure what you're you're devising for a flat bottom using the UHMW plastic, but you might end up with overheating problems if you close off the cradle. The higher pressure air flowing under the car gets sucked up through the cradle openings and into the engine bay by the lower pressure air flowing over top of the car. That airflow though the engine bay is important to keep things cool... although up here in NS it's probably not as important as in AZ. The airflow would benefit from a plate under the gas tank though. Yarmouth Fiero JAN 14, 07:31 PM Thanks Fieroaddicted....... it's a long slow process but alot of fun along the way. Hi Blooz... for the flat bottom panels I am only thinking the bottom of the cab and then narrow up to the front cross member and just to the forward rear cradle mounts so the engine compartment is still wide open. I'm thinking 180 headers on the SBC so there is going to be alot of extra exhaust pipe and heat down there. In the area of the fuel tank, that would be a separate panel incase there was a need to drop the tank. I think this will be an exercise to add a little personal touch more than improving aerodynamics under the car as its pretty flat down there already. On another note, has anyone ever looked at laying the radiator back rather than forward as the stock orientation? Is there any benifit to ducting the air through the F355 front nose opening to the radiator and then down under the tub? Bloozberry JAN 14, 07:59 PM WHAT?? You're not going to use mid-mounted radiators?!! Sacrilege!
