Did some upgrades to my 67 turbo'd stang

[12sec67]

cars been down for at least 8 months and is finally back on the road!
I can't wait to see what HP numbers I put down- it'll be interesting. I be taking to the dyno most likely next month but for now trying to tune for the street and MPG.



New 347 in a aftermarket A4 block


Got rid of the old 15 gallon fuel cell and went to a stock 70 mustang 22 gallon tank. Then had Dustin welded a sump to it.

and uhhhh... an intercooler with a bigger turbo

went from a T-70 to a T-76

Went to an Ultimate convertor and a manual valve body with a trans brake for my AOD


Installed power windows



intercooler mounted

I also installed a power brake booster, adjustable lower control arms, progressive rate coil over springs with my AJE set up

Next, real subframes, ultra cool top mounted c/c plates and as a pipe dream, power steering.

And maybe new front tires.

 

[classic boost]

wow, you've been busy.
what size is the intercooler core?

 

[68EFIvert]

More details on the engine please. What heads are you running? Camshaft? I am building a new 331 for my car out of a Boss block and need to decide if I want to use my AFR 165's or go BIGGER.

Your car is looking great and provides me some inspiration to get busy working on mine. Great job. Keep us posted on how it runs.

Why did you go wth a A/A instead of a A/W? Are you keeping the same doorstop wastegate or did you find out what its doing?

We'll see. Hopefully with the bigger turbine and housing we won't need to pass as much gas thru the wg now. The 40mm seems to have fixed Dave's problem. He's steady now. Still don't know WTF was going on. ONLY thing I can think is the ethanol level in gas changed. Only way something could effect so many cars that were working previously just fine.

Master Power Q-trim?

Looking good Rich!
WHat HP are you going for? Better get those subframes in before you go drive it or you'll need new paint on the C-pillar.

 

[12sec67]

Yeah, q trim

haven't really figured that out yet. I'm going to tune it for the spring I have in right now which I believe is a .6bar (8.70) spring. Then i'll see what numbers I get from that and just have some fun with it first before I go pushing it to 15psi

Yea.. thats the question I keep having when it comes to getting something similar done. What do parts and labor end up running in total.

Has anyone on this forum Turboed an EFI setup yet... you all seem to be rocking the carbs.

That question is probably better answered by the 5.0 Tech forum and theturboforums.com.
