I have heard that you could get the K members that slightly lower the engine... I will have to check on the AJE K member. Yea chuck, I still have her... its too pretty to just let her go. The main think I am looking at right now... is keeping the mostly stock appearance. Turbo 351 should put down WELL over 500 hp without breaking a sweat. I should have it to the point that I have to turn down the boost to legally run it at the track... as it will be a driver that I take my kids cruising in... and I cant have the pootential of bouncing my kids off a roll cage.
Yea, here is the lowering kit. http://fordifiedracing.homestead.com/kitinfo.html I plan on either buying that or making my own. I just checked out andrew's project, very nice. I am thinking that mine will be a single setup... if it looks good enough, and enough people like it... I will sell the headers and downpipe. I have had my gold 84 TC for a year and done nothing with it yet... but it looks like I am going to be turbocharging 3 other local fox bodies this summer... an 86 TC with a 5.0 swap, a 86 stang 5.0 notch, and an 88 Lincoln Mark VII.
I did a search and couldn't find any info on this. Has anyone here lowered their K member in order to run a tallker engine package and retain the stock hood? I am Looking at putting a turbocharged carbed 351W in my 84 turbocoupe, and with the bonnet it is going to stick up higher than the hood level. I will be running lowering solid engine mounts and more than likely a tubular K member. Just curious if anyone has done this before I dive in head first and fly by the seat of my pants.
