How to build your own electrolysis tank

So we were asked to post the instructions on how to build your own electrolysis tank. Silly me. I should have done that in the first place. Here are the instructions on how to do it for yourself.

Materials
Large container (water tight)
Copper wire bendable
Rebar
Wash soda
Eyelet screws
string or zip ties
trickle charger (6 amp)

First you will need to position the rebar as seen in the photo above. You can even add two more pieces about midway.

Drill holes in the side of the container to run the eyelet screws, putting the eyelet around the rebar snug. Run the screw through the hole and secure it with a nut on the outside. Run the copper wire all the way around the rebar making a circuit.

Fill the tank with water and wash soda (about 3 cups of wash soda).

Put the part into the tank that you want to remove the rust from. The wash soda and electrolysis process will remove the rust and grime. The rebar will attract the rust to it and off the parts.

Connect the positive terminal to the rebar and the negative to the part you are cleaning.Plug it in and monitor. Be careful with aluminum parts. They don't need to be in long and too much time will cause damage. Steel is ok and may take hours to complete the process. Good luck.

DIY Electrolysis tank for parts cleaning

Yesterday was another big day for Mutant Motorworx. True to our name we built this electrolysis tank that would look more at home in a B horror movie. But it worx. And it worx well. After only 90 minutes the rust and grime came off of our Ford 302 Heads that had been pretty badly weathered. I will be dunking them again today for a longer time to get them as clean as possible. If you want to know how to build one hit us up at

3 Projects and running strong

You all have seen the corvette build we are doing. But have you seen the 1974 Mercedes and the Del Sol Mutant we are building? We have constant updates and pics on our website, but here is a brief synopsis. Bobas Vette is getting a supercharger, the Merc is going to be a cruiser/show car, and the Del Sol is a 400 HP monster sleeper. As we progress feel free to ask us questions to help with your project.

Until then follow the updates on all three projects on our website.

Fuel lines and A/C delete pulley

UPDATE: This weekend we are hoping to connect the fuel lines from the pump to carburetor. As you know we deleted the air conditioning from this car to save weight, space, and hassle. It has a removable roof so we figured this was the best option. Now there is a hole where the A/C compressor once was. To replace that we are adding an A/C delete pulley.

If you are looking to do something similar this is what it looks like.

Check out http://www.mutantmotorworx.com for updates on this project and a couple of other projects we are doing. We can also help with your project. Always available.

Distributor and Carburetor for Corvette

Continuing our carb conversion today. We added the HEI MSD distributor and bolted down the carburetor. An expected issue happened today. The hood will no longer close all the way because the carburetor and intake raise up too much. No problem. We will cut a hole in it.

Upcoming is the addition of a new fuel regulator (with a return built in), A/C delete pulley, water neck, radiator hose, removing the A/C coolant radiator, and connecting it all together.

We also mounted a 5.0 (302) motor to the engine stand today and started prepping it for assembly. Including painting it Mutant Motorworx green.

Corvette almost done and Mutant Motorworx takes some big steps.

Another big day for Mutant Motorworx. Zino came by the shop to help out and his friend Hannah Clayton and her new puppy Asher.

As you can see in the photos we had an awesome addition with the new custom shelves courtesy of Robert Parr. Also scored an air compressor and power washer.

Swarner broke down another Honda engine and all the parts made it on the shelves.

As for the Corvette the intake was bolted down finally and carburetor fitted with gasket. A list was made of everything needed to continue and finish the project. Probably about a week out from finishing.

Mutant Motorworx is born. Corvette build continues

Today was a milestone day. We now have an official garage space to call home. A place where we will be stripping, building, fixing, and flipping motors and cars.

As for the Vette build, we deleted the air conditioner and installed the Edelbrock Performer RPM intake. We are now very aware of the fact that the hood will not work without a hole cut into it. With everything deleted (AC, electronics etc...) there is a lot more room under the hood now. Project really coming together as you can see by the photos.

As you can see my day started with lots of chocolate milk. 

Girls and Corvettes

So today we removed the old intake and fitted the new intake and carburetor. As you know we are eliminating the old EFI and reverting back to what nature loves most. Carburation. Enjoy the photos.

After a small furlow

After a little hiatus we will be back in the shop this weekend. The former TPI system is removed (almost) and will be replaced with the new carburetor and intake.

As a result we have had a few extra parts. So if you know anyone in the market for Corvette engine components check out our listings. Stand by for pics of this weekends projects.

Upcoming projects also include a 1974 Mercedes 240D (our first venture into the world of diesel)
More mods and tunes to the Mopars and the installation of a solid motor mount into our Honda project.
