Update...

 

Welded some new metal into the corners of the engine mounts and re drilled the holes, you wouldn't know there modded

Then onto the exhaust, first the flange had to be changed to DOHC, then pipes 1 and 6 had to be modded because the nature of the port in the dohc head the exhaust ports are centre in the chamber where as the xflow is towards the rear., so my pipes had to come forward to meet the port, no bigggy except when that is done the pipes clash with the engine mount so they have been cut and re welded and # 6 looks a little strange because all the primary pipes are the same length as each other so 6 is now the same as well. I think after the dyno i'll get them coated black this time the silver really go's to shit IMO!!

Back in the car coming together nicely, the wooden piece in between the manifold and head is to test the dimensions will be made in alloy.

gee thats looking ok

 

how are you going with no dissy? your old setup ran coil packs and crank trigger you can just run that?

Yeah mate its getting there.

 

The xflow ran a dizzy with 1 tooth and the crank trigger. the DOHC has what would be the dizzy sensor on the back of the camshaft and has the same 36-1 crank trigger behind the balancer in the engine. So will be run the same way. If i use the std ford coil that came with the motor i have to buy ignighters to fire them as the ecu cant do that, that's why i use the LS3 coils as they will do the job and have built in ignighters and i already had them just had to remake a couple of leads and i can still fit the p[plastic cover.

so the crank trigger lives behind the timing cover in these engines?  Nice work Jason.  Did you weigh the old engine and the new?  thinking that the later motor would be a tad heavier???

Yep it's the bottom timing chain gear as well all one. I'd say it will be heavier it's basically a crossflow without push rods and with one more cam, 12 more lifters,valves and springs, alloy sump, main girdle, larger timing chain, cam gears etc so yeah it will be heavier Guess I'll have to make a bit more power then :D
