looking good Paul. A bit of a balancing act for the pic!

Is that the stock ABS module I see there?

I guess the fuel lines still need to be plumbed?

 

[psfracer]

Yeah, the ABS / distribution block will be removed when I do th brake system. Right now next on the list is motor / trans mounts and the custom headers. Car is going in this Friday for that.

can't wait to see this thing run at either fontana or if you do irwindale

 

[psfracer]

I am going to see if I can get my license at Irwindale. Will be racing at Fontana (PSCA), Bakersfield, and Vegas.

Guess what came in today..........:

My ATI PowerGlide trans and 9 inch converter. Even with the supercase and SFI bellhousing it weighs 115lbs-- lighter then the 4R70W which weighed 140lbs. Without the SFI supercase and SFI bell, I believe there are powerglides as light as 95lbs, but not sure.

In any case I got the upgraded input shaft, transbrake, SFI bell (which I bought used) and SFI supercase (so I don't need any trans blankets). I bolted up the bell to the trans, and dropped in the converter---that took me about 10 minutes before I got it to drop all the way in. The converter should be a 4500 stall or so with my combo. I have also had the SFI flexplate for a while that is already on the engine.

Wow that's a nice piece..

That thing looks awesome. Go put it in!!!!! What is left before you fire it up and take it for a drive?

 

[stkjock]

sweet Paul!

Just the custom headers and it will be ready to roll probably one week after that.

I can't wait to see the first video going down the track! What do you think your going to spin the motor to? going down the track

 

[psfracer]

Based on the dyno numbers I will shift at 7500, and depending on converter slip, I should be at 7300 @ 150mph with a 29 tall tire and 4.10s through the traps. But that is also assuming a car weight of 3450. I am still not sure of the car weight, so there are still alot of unknowns, but that is what I am guessing at this point.

 

[Ken3030]

Is that a Maverick right there?

 

[psfracer]

Well the trans is in. The converter sat just about 1/8 inch from the flexplate, and spun freely when everything was bolted up. Everything fit like a glove like it was supposed to!

 

[psfracer]

No, I grabbed that picture from a 66 mustang that was for sale on RacingJunk

 

[FlyByNight]

Gotta love it when things go together smooth, Bad-Ass car Paul....

 

[psfracer]

Thanks man--we will see how bad ass it is once I hit the track. Really hoping for low 9s on motor only and 8.60s with a little juice.

Post #1 updated for cliff notes for people who don't want to read through 40 pages.

 

[FlyByNight]

That's fast brother, looking forward to seeing some time slips.

Hey Paul when you get some time can you snap some pics of the area around the back tires. I see you have the shock absorbers mounted inbound of the springs. How much room did that give you between the inside of the rear tire and inner fender?

I will post some up next weekend. The main factor is what wheel we are talking about. There is another thread on here where a member fit a 18X11 wheel---as the wheel is large enough in diameter to where the shock and bumper stop purch is not an issue. But for a 15 inch wheel with a slick, definitely an issue.

So if you are looking for ideas on clearance for a 15 inch wheel, I can help.
