Progress Thread Project: Buried Under A Mountain Of Snow Black Hole Money Pit.

so the 392 currently has no plans of where its going to end up. im open to suggestions? it was originally being built to go into a box ranger backed by a glide with a set of highports. might still stuff it in a ranger... maybe in the gen 1... maybe in a boat.... maybe in the mustang...

suggestions?

It says in your signature you have a '95 Lightning...sounds like a potential match to me. Is there a reason the two wouldn't make good couple?
its an option, its just 100% stock currently. if i do go that route it would be a very long project since its going to start needing some rust repair soon
 
well... i stopped by Roche Racing engines on friday... my parts are all on a cart and things are starting to go together.

hit a small snag yesterday.... nothing major though

off the top of my intake i have...
2" HVP super sucker carb spacer
1" thick nitrous pro flow plate
carb base is 1"
solenoid bracket is 1/8"
throttle cable bracket is 3/16"

so im 4 5/16" total stack height (plus 4 carb gaskets)

so i need at least 4 1/2"-4 9/16" out of the intake and 7/16" into the intake
longest stud i can find are 4.7"

so do i hold off on the spacer or mill it down to 1"???
 
black friday sales =

me ordering more stuff
stifflers crossmember
nitrous outlet bottom exit fuel solenoid...
few other things LOL
