lol guys I have plenty of experience I had a allmotor integra tube chassis running 9's.. hehe

In that's the case, why don't you just contact your pipe supplier that you used on that car? Good luck with your project and keep us informed. Over and out.

Not a bad 1/8 mile time.

When you say all motor, perhaps you can define what it was in more detail?

Seems odd to go from one of those to a 514 for very little difference in e/t

Im set on the 514 guys.. Any help where I can get tubes for making my tube chassis? Thanks!

I don't know if I can say this without being an ass, but...

If you don't even know where to buy the tubing, you don't have a clue how to build a chassis. Don't fool yourself. Your lack of knowledge in previous posts shows that you are new to this, especially to mustangs and racecars. You did however say that money wasn't much of an issue, but it will be by the time you get this monster built. I don't care if you had a nine second honda or not, there is a completely different set of rules that apply when working with a big block rear wheel drive car, especially if you want it to be safe. But, from what I can gather from your previous posts, you don't really know what you want. Get real. Get a clue. If you really want such a car, buy one already built by a professional.

No not the 8 mile.. It was the 1/4 mile.. Ran 9.13, allmotor lsvtec 2.3 litter 267 horsepower with 207 torgue..

 

[Cobain03]

is it me or are those low numbers for that 9 sec 1/4?

just wait till he gets the monster up and running and takes it to the track and mashes the gas. be riding a wheelie 1.2 way down the track!

x infinity

that car must have weighed about 600 lbs to run a 9.13 in the 1/4mile with such miniscule power. Hell man, drop the 514 into that car, you'd have something that could run low 4's.

ok.. You're werid, and my integra weighed 1572 ib by the way not 600 ibs what are you smoking?

Fun with numbers

http://www.robrobinette.com/et.htm

10.5 et

http://www.race-cars.net/calculators/et_calculator.html

10.5 ET with trap speed of 129.6

http://www.ultimateresourceguides.com/content/index3.html

Defines 403 HP requirement for 1572lb in 9.17

I know from previous conversation you don't like power adders, but which were you using in the Integra. Your quote motor HP numbers do not support the ET.

All numbers are of course calculated with no assumed traction loss (meaning perfect math equations that can not account for real world detrimental impacts on E.T.)

Using this:
http://www.wallaceracing.com/eigth-to-quarter-conversion.php

To convert 9.17 from 1/8 to 1/4 time of 14.34 and then revisiting the previous sites using the curb weight of a stock 2000 integra with driver of 2800 LBS you would see a perfect ET of 12.75 with 267 RWHP and again....perfect traction.

Stock 2000 integra with stock high output motor with enough mods to take the stock rated break horse power of 170 and turn it into RWHP of 180hp nets a calculated 1/4 mile time of 14.5

Anyway...the point is...people can BS all the want I don't care, but as soon as you put a number on it, it can either be supported or proven incorrect. It also has no direct impact on the discussion at hand about putting a 514 in a 65 mustang. And I am sure most member of this (and other forums) are still willing to help you figure out the steps it will take and what needs to be done....just drop the internet annonymous persona crap and lets discuss the real world.

Wow haha you believe those gay unreal like calculator.. ok let me go scan my time slip for you!

I don't smoke, but I do know when I hear it. If you really got an integra to run low 9's in the 1/4 with such a wimpy engine, hey man, more power to ya. No sense in arguing about it over the net, so I'll let it be. The fact remains, you've got a lot of hours of research to do before you start building a tube chassis, 'glass bodied mustang. Thats not the sort of thing you just casually throw together in your spare time. As far as I know, nobody here has built such a beast either, so take most of what you hear with a grain of salt, nothing against my fellow stangnetters, its just the way I see it.

He must have the new "Race Car Tycoon" brought to you from the creators of "Rollercoaster Tycoon" and "Zoo Tycoon". It'll even print timeslips for your custom rides!

 

[mdjay]

No offense to the big blocks, I do like 'em. They're just heavier than hell.

PS I stomped the Gambler 514 on the dyno by 80 hp with my boosted SB! I was only about 15 ft lbs better in torque!

Ok I give up you kids..

 

[Psydwaze]

I read the whole thread and now want the last 5 minutes of my life back. I thought we were onto something good here.

Jay, I'm with you.
Small block + power adder = Enough hp for me.

The problem for me reading this thread is this... you (the guy who started this thread) seemingly don't currently own a 66 Mustang, and it appears you never HAVE owned one. Moreover, through the course of this thread you've changed direction almost 10 different times - which again, indicates you're all talk and little experience.

To have so many knowledgeable people offer their insights and then, at the end of it, throw up the attitude you offered in the quote above is poor etiquette for mine.

So my own personal words of experience are as follows... until you've purchased a 66 Fastback, and until you've put it up on a hoist and stared at it from underneath for hundreds of man hours - until you've got your head around every design flaw and weak point in the unibody and all the various compromises involved in keeping a 40 year old masterpiece of mass production on the road, you're dreaming. The difference is that most of us know, from first hand experience what's REALLY involved, and the more you know, the more realistic you are.

Come back in two years and prove me I'm wrong.
