- New Master Cylinder, 347 Stoker Kit
|
|
Four Wheel Disc Master Cylinder
|
After reading about converting to four wheel disc online I figured I
should follow the lead and get a master cylinder that is actually designed
for four wheel disc. The original MC should have a residual check valve in
the rear master port that will wear out pads quickly
This unit is from a 96 Mustang with four wheel disc. Although much
discussion online involves using an 84-86 Mustang SVO unit, it simply will
not fit with the standard power brake booster.
|
Here is the unit installed. I still had to clearance the front tip of
the MC a little to make it fit but it should work fine like this. Now I
want to know the pin outs of the level sensor and hook it back into the
original brake warning light.

347 Stroker Kit
|
|
I have always planned on going with a stroker kit of some sort/size. While
I kept looking at high end forged crank, H-Beam rod setups, I really could
not justify going that route for a stock block / stock computer controlled
engine that might have a 100 shot of nitrous.
With that in mind I picked up this Scat kit from a local reseller. It
features a Scat 9000 cast crank, forged rods with ARP cap screws for extra
strength beyond stock rods, and forged probe .030 pistons.
The primary item I wanted was forged pistons as I just do not like
stock cast pistons in any type of performance engine. With a 5500 RPM
limit on the computer and a stock block this should hold up for many years
under my use / abuse.

EFI Fuel Supply/Return System
In other business I have designed my EFI fuel system and have ordered
nearly all the parts. $300+ worth in fact. I just felt like I should go
ahead and do everything in true braided line with 3/8" aluminum
supply and return hard line.
Nothing special but the basic design is as shown below;

Floor Pans and Seat Platforms
I have also ordered new floor pans and seat platforms. Although not the
cheapest I purchased them through Johns Mustang in Houston. This is my
first purchase from them so we'll see how it goes. I wanted the pans that
has the outside flange bent up like the factory to make it easier to
install and easier to seal up. John's was the first place I found this
option. To make things simple I ordered the seat platforms from them as
well.
