TTSaleen's Foxbody Project

[TTSaleen]

I picked this car up in January 2024.
It was mostly stock with bolt ons, B303 cam and Cobra intake.
Over the last year, I started fixing, upgrading, and modifying the car to suit my tastes.

Did an E85 experiment with the car and proved you can run E85 with a 19# mass air meter calibration and 27 pound injectors.
Dyno'd the car and made 230hp / 270tq with stock iron heads and shorty headers.

A few months ago, I picked up a used 331 stroker with GT40 aluminum heads, mystery cam (maybe a 1087 grind) and added a 150hp shot of nitrous.
Dyno'd the car (on E85) and made 315hp / 360tq on motor and 440hp / 530tq on nitrous running rich.

I recently picked up a used Vortech V2-Si supercharger kit and have been piecing it together for the car.
Waiting on a couple small parts (hopefully this week) and I will be able to fire it up.

Here's some pics. You can check it out and my other builds on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/98saleen

Damn, thats a nice Saleen Fox.

Thanks!

Got the supercharger installed. Ran into a few issues, but it's running now.
Needs a tune and E85 to realize full potential.

Check it out.

87 Foxbody update:
Put together info about the LMR Contour electric fans upgrade in addition to the Holley TerminatorX computer and MF Kustoms adapter.
Car is running very well and need to get to the dyno to fine tune it in on boost.

Broke 3rd gear in my T5 recently, so ordered a new TKX and Centerforce clutch.
As others have seen, the TKX stock shifter really moves over toward passenger side noticeably more than the T5.
I put a spacer block on it and longer bolts to move it more to driver side.
Anyway, here's a video of installing it and repairing the rear main seal.

Well had nothing but problems trying to use the MFK adapter and Holley Terminator X.
Back story - Got the kit installed and initially running/tuned. Noticed that car just didn't sound like it did before (didn't cam as hard) and would randomly cut off when decelerating.
Started troubleshooting and found #5 cylinder would not fire (get hot) when running.
Did a barrage of tests on engine and nothing found wrong.
Changed injectors and problem went away. Tried multiple injectors and anything 60# and higher caused the issue.
Even put it back to stock computer, mass air and 27# injectors and it ran perfectly fine, so not in my harness as everyone suggested.

Pulled the kit off and shipped back to AFM. In return I purchased the Gen3 Holley Kit from AFM.
Today I pulled off the stock harness in anticipation of the new kit to be installed.
Also picked up a new set of 80# Deka injectors to run (I run on E85 and see about 14# boost).
