Progress Thread 235 radial coupe build

[tannerc91gt]

Going to start a build thread, figure some of you may be interested.

Building the car to run in a 235 drag radial class.

Its a really clean car, just a little dated now.
Current combo is a 306, small t4 turbo, Hellion kit, AOD and an 8.8 with some decent parts. Stock suspension, 8.50 cage, etc

Originally ended up with me for a Holley EFI install for the current combo.
Which I had nearly completed.
HP installed, cam sync and crank trigger, Holley 120lb injectors, modified the fuel lines and the turbo kit. Reworked the transbrake wiring and was working on some other small stuff when the owner decided to take the plunge back into class racing and get into the radial class.

Only wiring picture i had, when I was pulling it all apart.

Hell yeah!

So new combo will need to make about 700-800hp more than this one so that means it’s got to start from scratch. That’s driveline, fuel system, turbo kit, suspension, etc.

Current combo is sold and will hopefully be yanked out this week.
New combo will be dart block based with a significantly larger turbo lol.
Will get a new rear end built like the one in my cobra and coil overs and all that jazz as well.

we decided real estate up front was going to be valuable so I broke out the sawzall and made some more.

Kid came out to inspect. I need a welding cart...

Lol, this is quite the trial run.

On a side note, after somehow delaying for years, I finally bought a trailer yesterday so I can get my car finished up and drag it out to a race track. So we’re making progress

having just gone through both, pick the remodel if you have a choice. I'd pick that 10000x over.

That’s when you take it to a guy that’ll have it “done in a month“.

Problem being.......he said that 6 months before.
