    MIR year end. New times with a twist

    Ok here's a run down of the previous few weeks. I had some extra time and energy so I swapped out the 320k mile engine for a 100k engine and a 125 shot broke the top ring on the first pass at 500 ft still went 7.31 in 1/8. The next engine I tried making no changes to was a 93k mile engine. I...

    93 LX

    I can list some more facts. You pull a known good 2.3 turbo motor out of anything, don't so much as pull the valve cover, set it in my tagged/insured street driven mustang and I can run easy 11's all day. As for the T5's. Working as a ford tech I've seen 1 T5 that I put back together but...

    93 LX

    For reference I spent a few thousand by the time I built a mild windsor an dgot it in and running. I took an identical car and spend roughly $500 to swap to a 2.3 turbo and put full exhaust on it. I got it to go high's with slicks and everything else stock. As for the insurance, I used to...

    Drove/raced GTO down 1/8mile

    Hell I only weigh 130 with steel toe shoes and they wouldn't let me eat until we left the track. No this clutch was pretty responsive as I controlled it. The other thing is dumping the clutch wouldn't work at all. I had to be very gentle or smoke city.

    Drove/raced GTO down 1/8mile

    yeah the guys on TF said the "driver mod" was worth 4 tenths. As hard as the car pulls on the street I thought for sure I could get an 8.9 out of it though...maybe next time.

    Drove/raced GTO down 1/8mile

    Well I'm saving my car for the 1/4 mile next weekend so I didn't have much happening. A buddy with a 03 GTO 5.7 6spd convinced me to ride along to see if he could make it into the 8's. He ran Trac-off and went 9.99 @72 Traction on 9.34@76 then 2 9.8's and one more 9.9 He "forced" me to...

    351wcoupe

    I havne't run it since you posted the thread. I have an 1/8th mile test and tune this sunday and then a 1/4 mile test and tune on Dec. 5 at MIR-Budds Creek maryland. The car feels good but its hard to say. My game plan is to use up whatever resources I have. I'm still running a 100% stock...

    bhuff back from then 1/4

    Did you get an F29 convertor or what did you end up with? well.......I guess 3.73's is enough.......4.10's would be great. But I only run a 3.55 in the black coupe so I'm no one to talk. Do you have a wideband yet? If you do, send me a run, as I would like to see what it looks like. I...

    bhuff back from then 1/4

    I saw the post on TF and thought it has great potential. What is the car geared? I could only run about 80mph in the 1/8 with the green car on slicks and no spray. However....as everybody else has said....the 60' has to go. My dually in 2x4 and leaving at idle in 2 snd with a 6spd, I blew the...

    Possible return to the 2.3 world?

    The suspense is killing me. I'll have you running 11's in no time.

    Need quick bell housing help!!

    Thats weird I'm pretty sure the C4/C5 bells will interchange because my trans brake C4 is actually a later case with a ford number matching a C5. Still very likely the chances of finding a 2.3 bell. You did use a dowel pin of some kind correct?

    Need quick bell housing help!!

    You won't find a 2.3 that ever had a C5 behind it. C4 only and its probably going to be mid 70's 2.0 which will always require the adapter dowel pins.

    HEY RICH. I got your email and haven't had a chance to reply. I got 30mpg out of the green car in full street/race form. I haven't checked the mileage on the Project Bolt-On but its probably in the ball bark of the green car. As for reliability? My engine has over 320k miles and 100 sprays of...

    351wcoupe

    yeah Sorry I haven't been around here as much. We are preping the car for a "Final Stand" somewhere. My best 1/8th mile time (7.08) crosses to roughly a 10.90 at 127. I have bought a new laptop and I'm trying to get my wideband where I can use more functions and get more out of the tune. We...

    Aerostar Drive Shaft mods

    Is that a driveshaft inside the house on a carpeted floor? and I thought mom got mad at me having nitrous bottles sitting around the heating vents.
