I'm on track for a Dart SHP 363 with AFR 195 renegade heads. I am hoping to have everything I need for that by January so I can really work on getting this thing running again. If any of yall are on instagram add me. Bluestang60

I'll say it again, excellent collection of parts there, this will be a bad ass car! I gave you a follow on IG, my build on there is stangalang_tx.

 

[96pushrod]

.81 ar turbine housing will be VERY small for a 363.

 

[bluestang347]

The kit builder runs a very similar setup and told me he runs the .81 and has full boost by 3100 rpm. I know I will be leaving power on the table but I want the fast response. This won't be a drag car.

 

[bluestang347]

My Maximum Motorsports roll bar finally came in. I am going to test fit it and wrap up a few under hood items and she will be off to finally have the frame rail repaired. I'm really looking forward to getting it back so I can dive in to getting everything put back together.

 

[bluestang347]

Got the cage in for a test fit. I'm really happy with it.

lol I originally bought it when I was planning to rebuild my stock 302 and run it until I could get a 363 together but I never ended up doing that.

Does anyone have opinions on a good turbo blanket? I am looking at a universal T4 from PTP or buy a custom fit for my specific turbo from Funk Motorsports. Any opinions on waste gate blankets?

 

[90sickfox]

My turbo blanket from On3 has been great for 6 years.

Engine bay and interior are fully gutted including the dash . She will finally be off to the body shop in the morning. Once I get her back I will install the Maximum Motorsports max grip package, fuel system, and start the ground up new wiring. I still need to source my engine and transmission. I have been waiting on a built 4R70W from PA for our a year now. With no end in sight I am thinking of changing to a 6R80. For the engine I need to track down a dart block and rotating assembly. I have everything else I will need.

 

[bluestang347]

Welp, I should probably change the name to project vampire because this is the first time she has seen day light in over a year... ready and waiting for the flat bed ride in the morning to the body shop!

 

[rednotch]

Looks decent.... Have to laugh at how sve wheels have become the pony rims of the 90's... All ways use some cheap stock rims if its going to a body shop as a roller... Most are not kind to other ppls stuff lol.

Cool story, thanks for sharing

And shes off...

 

[bluestang347]

I just pulled the trigger on a dart shp block. I probably won't have the car back from the body shop for a couple months so this will be the perfect time to build the engine. I am so excited to finally get this ball rolling.

 

[bluestang347]

Well after waiting for 15 months for a performance automatic 4r70w I cancelled the order today and switched to a Lentech 4R70W Strip Terminator. I am going to swap my terminator x to a x max to be able to control the transmission. I am also about the pull the trigger on a Circle D torque converter. Lentech is quoting me 3-3 1/2 months for the transmission so hopefully that holds true.

 

[bluestang347]

Gotta love crap customer service. Now that I pulled the trigger on the Lentech and told PA to cancel my order they all of a sudden have a build date for me. It is funny how I patiently waited for 15 months with no answers to a build date and then all of a sudden they have one when they see the money walking out the door. I cancelled with them yesterday and now they can have it to me in 3 weeks... I would like to take it but the guys at Lentech have spent a lot of time talking through my set up with me so I am going to wait for the Lentech.
