Knee deep in my restoration project. No interior, drivetrain, or electrical. Pretty much a shell at this point.

Yes he does. I was happy to be able to get my hands on one of his engines.

What exactly is the setup your doing now? Back in the day your car kept me motivated to do my first h/c/i s trim.

New England -

Oh.. the joys of living in New England.....

Here is a shot of my newly aquired lx (from a fellow StangNet member) waiting for the temp to move from the present 15 degrees. It is only up in the air for the SFC install. BTW - working under these cars is very tight without a lift.

I'm glad I was able to be a source of motivation. Thanks .

In a nutshell, I'm doing a turbocharged 331 setup with methanol injection. Should be in the 700-800rwhp range if all goes well. I'm essentially rebuilding the rest of the car as well. Just about everything will be replaced. I got tired of the random electrical gremlins, so it's getting rewired from scratch too. It will probably be two or so years before it sees any pavement. I was going to do a YSi setup, but decided that a turbo would be a nice change. There is something about instant boost that is appealing .

Only real pic I have right now. Just picked it up in mid November. It's been in storage since I got it. It's a high mile GT with good original paint that needs some suspension TLC. B srpings and some unknown struts(I think the cheap KYB's). Currently thinking about staying 4lug for now and putting on black 17x8 SC's... my buddy has 8 used 245/45/17's for me to burn up. Not sure how they would sit on the back though...

Nothing is set in stone yet, but a PT76GTS .96ar will match up nicely with the 331. I've been talking to Jeff at Pony Down, and will probably go with one of his kits. I ran a Snow meth kit with my blower setup, and it worked very well. AIS has some very nice kits also. I'm going to do a trunk mounted setup with a MAF controller, but I'm not sure what kit I'm going with yet.

A 76 would go nicely but a 88 would be better? Yea I had a pony down kit, it was alright. Have you thought about building one yourself?

If I had a more cubes, an 88 would work well, but my little 331 won't be able to spool a massive turbo like that quick enough for the streetable characteristics I'm looking for. I have thought about making my own, but I would need to replace my little 110V MIG welder with something a little more capable of welding the hotside. I may just buy a hotside and do the coldside myself. I have plenty of time to figure out exactly when I'm going to do.

For a fun street car a t4 set up is plenty the t6 is huge and routing the down pipe is a real PITA I hear.

I still need to put a .96 housing on my 76GTS.

I know of a 331 that ran a 106 on it and spooled a wee bit quicker then you'd think.

My 76GTS with the small .81A/R is making 630's on 91 octane at 15psi. While more power would be cool it is already useless on the street.

You just need stickier tires. Don't get on it too hard though, you may break that fragile iron eagle .

That 363 must be creating some serious backpressure on that .81a/r. I think you'll see some pretty serious gains with the larger housing.
