looks great! so you pulled the motor and trans out? whats going to be your new power plant?

FAST Fabrication · #**125** 02-26-2011, 03:38 AM

new plant is a 2000 4.0L SOHC has 60 hp more from the factory.... with JBA ceramic headers & dual exhaust & wires, UMP filter, Powermaster alts & starter, SAT chip, harness and tune/dyno by JuanCo Performance Engineering... mated to a JuanCo Performance Engineering built C4 transmission

----------

here is a little taste of what I have spent over 15 hours on during the last 24 hrs..... been taking every logo and changing it to four color options... this is the top view match to one of the 3 side options we have... wait to you see the side, amazing how close it looks.. but i got to get rest tonight, so i can make it to the swapmeet in 10 hours, the final decision will come down to me...but I am giving my sponsors a big say in which ones they like or do not like their logos done a certain way..... Team FAST also just picked up a 30ft trailer, so got a nice team vehicle set up now

got some new things for everybody.. i picked up a lot and sold a lot at the swapmeet...
here is the new FAST Fabrication logo

the team fast logo is even cooler but i want to go over the three choices with the team first cause it will be embroidered on hats, jackets, and beanies

our new t-shirt and sweater design should be completed this weekend and will be available to the public

here is the choices im sending sponsors for the new graphics, what is your pic,
there are three designs and 4 logo color options (original color, black with blue outline, grey with blue outline, and copper with blue outline) all colors are the flat
original

all grey with blue

black top with grey bottom & all black in the copper only truck

alright finally got it to work, had to lower it from 32 bit to 24 bit color.... you will notice the original logo colors have 3 extra logos, those are just jpegs copied and pasted, waiting on the vector files to edit the colors and make them not blue when i put them on here

Back in AZ, had a few packages waiting for me, Icom blessed us with another mobile radio, its the F121 i think its identical to the 5021 just a previous model. Will be visitin PCI this week to get this one program and get the cable for my intercom to radio.

here are the goodies I got at the swapmeet

transmission components from JuanCo to mocked up and get new motor in and transmission mounted, so its ready for the new one next week.

here was the start of the motor swap last weekend

as you can see this motor is taller than the old motor that we dropped, the stock intake was right were the cross brace goes...

our solution, which we only did in case we ever wanted to use the stock intake manifold

FAST Fabriction wil be designing and fabricating a custom aluminum intake manifold that lets the air go directly into the heads, instead of to the back of motor and then forward and down into the heads. Should gain horsepower but that was not our goal, we will do a dyno with the stock and with this one and offer it to the public after we have had a few races on it. Basically we will replace these pieces, with the idol control being remounted on the new piece and the important lines

So to drop the motor pass what we already had dropped the first motor with our mounts, we had to make some room on the crossbrace, and bang in a bump in the firewall, we went down another 1" plus and about 3/4" more back. Overall from the original OHV location I would ay we are somewhere between 2.5-3" down (bigger pan on the sohc so hard to be sure) and went back probably between 3-4", the c4 transmission has dropped an 1.5" from where the stock 4.0 was after we had lowered that motor.

decided to take advantage of motor being out, instead of trying to shape and close those huge holes on top of the firewall, we cut it out, going to cut the inner piece out after looking at the damage to if from before, will replace with a 18 gauge piece with a rosette plug flange that has a 90 and goes straight down to the firewall.

that was last sat and sunday.... today we completed the motor mounts and check all our clearances, and will knock out out transmission mount that will have a drop out center for easy removal as well as hold the dual exhaust

originally we had this barely away from that flange and still had plenty of room everywhere else, but we decided to bring the motor forward an 1/8 and settled here

trans height

we also knocked out the remaining engine braces, going to mount skid plate first tomorrow, now that we can put the bumper back on, should go fairly quick one tube is already done

just placed an order for FAST Fabrication hats, flexfit with two embroidered designs, the t-shirt design is nearly complete, and that is how i spent my 27th bday

going to stay home in oc next weekend cost to much to work on it for two days, spring break is the following week, will get 8 full days of work and will be able to finish all the fab work )as long as I get the new dash by then) so we can start on running all our plumbing and electriical lines

how the hell does it take this long to build a truck? i stopped reading after page 2, you say the word sponsor too many times. fucking a dude.

FAST Fabrication · #**131** 03-14-2011, 11:21 AM

u know nothing about race trucks... most race trucks take over a year to build, especially with my detail... and we should have it done within our year which would be this July and we are looking at end of May

GGlighting · #**132** 03-14-2011, 11:40 AM

Wish I had the money for this

FAST Fabrication · #**133** 03-14-2011, 01:56 PM

we got the 3 piece tranny crossmember and exhaust port all tacked up, and has since been welded, waiting for new trans before making plate with bushing...

we also completed the bumper and the tube connectors worked even with just one per tube, they put tranny fluid or something similar in them...I forgot to take a picture before we took it apart to fully weld it, will get those up in two weeks during spring break when we knock out the rest of fab as long as we get the three things from outsiders...if all goes well we will be on schedule to be completely done in May
