What did you do to your Maverick or Comet today

Beat the snot out of it on the way to work today

 

My left front torque box is fully installed and welded up and i will never do that again! My right one only needs the inner panel repaired. I bought two new ones but i'm not using all of the right one!!!!! Not all Mavericks are the same!!!!!! The people at 3PG were very helpful concerning the install of their product. Up next.....floorboard.​

 

Opened the garage up looked at it got discusted and got beer out of the fridge and just looked at it.

 

Installed new ACC carpet and 3-point seatbelts from eBay

 

went to an auction and saw a rough big bumper mav sale for rediculous money, took my buddy for a ride in the hahns 73 grabber, took my comet to the hahns shop and got some assistance cutting out my core support, prepped my new-to-me core support so i can weld it back in after church tomorrow..ended the day on a good note by catching a ride home with terry hahn in the 73 grabber. it was a good mav/comet day

 

Mike came over & we took out the 4 lug rearend. Installed the 5 lug rearend. Only thing left to do, is bleed the rear brakes & install rear half of exhaust. We hooked up the exhaust to the manifolds. Had to take out 9 inches of exhaust pipe in the middle. That's how much longer the 4dr is compared to the 2 dr. Almost ready to test drive. Then rock & roll...

 

Made this really cool see through hood! Next step is to have it blasted, prime and seal it then transfer the skin from my Grabber hood. Actually I need to do a little work to the skin before it gets it's new support structure, it'll be much easier with them apart.

 

Actually that is really cool looking - maybe have it chromed

 

Put the motor i. Ran for 20 minutes then it siezed up

Just in time to screw my magazine shoot, and my minimeet

 

Today we got it on the dyno and started/warmed it and made some easy pulls to 5000 then 5500. Set the valves and changed plugs to 33's from 32's...............the 32's were just too cold, was a little on the fat side with the 92's at all four corners.
Seems to respond well........1st pull to 5000rpm was a little disappointing,
489.3HP and 513.9ftlbs...left bank was @11.81 and right bank was 11.3.....then took it to 5500rpm and got 549.2HP and 524.4ftlbs with left bank @11.5 and right @11.3.
At this point need to work on timing, jetting and maybe plugs again. I had the rear main seal machined for a one piece seal...............and the seal has walked out to the adapter (I have an adapter for using a Chevy Flex Plate as I use a Powerglide)...........not sure what's going on there, but it's not leaking so we will see.
Using Comp Cams break-in oil and Jomar filter..........15/40oil and getting 60psi at 5500rpm.
For you guys with "weather stations", RH @50%, C.A.T. 71F and Barometer
@29.68
More to follow...........................

 

WOW!, that's a bummer!
Any ideas as to the reason?

 

80psi oil pressure 190* temp just died and locked up tight.

Gonna pull it again tommorow i expect the worst

 

Brought mine home............

 

Ordered my new mufflers! Dynomax super turbos. Also picked up a few neat exhaust hangers off eBay.

 

You said you ran it for 20 minutes oil temp was 190degrees; was the oil pressure at 80psi the whole time or just when it was cold (oil temp less than 190)...........?
