Ok, I'm still in the planning stages, but I do have some of the details worked out.
two ball bearing 76mm units from Precision
Large air to water intercooler placed in the driver compartment with ice tank remaining in trunk
Custom sheet metal intake manifold
Full race ported GT500 heads with Titanium intake valves and Inconel exhaust valves. Jesel followers and lash adjusters. Custom valve springs.
Block and cylinder head machined for dual steel o-rings with copper head gaskets
Custom turbo cams
2011 Aluminum 5.4 block filled with epoxy with steel sleeves and dry deck. Stock 3.552 bore and 4.165 stroke
Custom lightened billet steel crank with center counterweights
Aluminum rods with ARP hardware
External pump wet sump oiling system
Custom front and mid motor plates
Custom turbo headers and hot and cold side piping
Planning to rev the motor to 9000 rpm on the shift
I'm keeping my current Powerglide. It has a JW Ultra Case and Tailhousing. I'm running a converter from Bradco that I'm gonna have restalled for the current build.
I'm undecided on fuel at this point. I'm either gonna run Q16 or switch over to alcohol. I'm gonna switch over to a mechanical pump and continue using one of the A1000 fuel pumps to prime the system. -10AN feed line and -8AN return line. I'm looking at getting a set of 220 lb/hr injectors, but I may have to go bigger if I make the switch to alcohol.
I guess I'm also gonna have to bite the bullet and upgrade to a 25.2 or 25.4 cage. I might be able to get the car's weight down enough to qualify for the 25.2, but I doubt it.
It's also time to install twin parachutes I guess.
I'm striving to have this build done by March or April if funds allow, but I definitely want to have it done by next Fall.
