2014 Season preparation

[FFRSpec72]

2014 Season preparation:

1. Installed a new refresh engine as most of last season was running @ 30psi WOT
2. New 255/40/17 Toyo RRs
3. New fuel lines
4. New clutch
5. New starter (got burned not starting last season)
6. New purge/filler neck (going with what John has)

Also I'm in the process of collecting 818R parts as mine gets delivered soon, so want to get the Cobra running and ready

No money left, the 818R is taking up the slack change I had in my right hand and the wife and daughter take out of the left hand (and they steal out of the right)

I now have 50 PSI oil pressure @ idle, have not seen this for 2 years

Got to drive the car on the street for 30+ miles this weekend to break in the engine, no issues, no leaks, oil pressure was up around 60psi for running, 45psi at hot idle. The oil temps were about 160 and the water temps were around 150. I installed a new Fluidyne radiator and a Flex-175 fan. Need to get a few more miles and then change the oil and I should be set.

Just shy of 100 miles on new short block and no issues or leaks, oil pressure is great, temps are looking good, we have our opener first weekend in May. Will do a oil change this week to get rid of break-in oil and mount the new RRs and should be ready to inspect.
