hey, turbocoupe50 Reply #15 – September 02, 2006, 09:55:13 AM Lets just say the only stock part is the '86 LSC short block...List of mods here....http://natomessageboard.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=16;t=000028If you look at the 4cyl times, you'll see I have the quickest time on NATOs board :D (yea by a gnats ass). Guess if the 1/2 motor guys catch me, I'll have to dig out the blue bottle and up the ante a little... BTW I see the nitrous shot is listed as 90hp on NATOs board, I really don't know what it was. It was jetted for 75hp on a stock HO. From the times I ran, it was definatly giving more on a free breathing engine... Thinking back now the 150 shot was probably actually closer to 180hp... No wonder the Nittos were unhappy... Quote Selected
hey, turbocoupe50 Reply #16 – September 02, 2006, 12:38:56 PM wow, how much did all those mods cost?!?! you have one impressive car!! Quote Selected
hey, turbocoupe50 Reply #17 – September 02, 2006, 02:50:51 PM In the 9+ years I've owned the car I've spent roughly $9000 on it(that includes the original purchase price of $1215). It could be done a good bit cheaper buying used parts, but when I did the swap back in '99, the good Hi-Po stuff was hard to find second hand. I got to be on a first name basis with the sales guys at Summit and Jegs... (Also the UPS guy) Quote Selected

hey, turbocoupe50 Reply #19 – September 03, 2006, 02:25:37 PM i belive it's the 90-93 aod's maybe 89 was the new Vb change. it has the B overdrive servo nothing special. but better than the C that birds and cougars got. im not sure about the extra clutch. if you want to stay auto and keep OD. forget the aod. it'sa to much of a gamble skip the aode beter than the aod but still pr0ne to failure. grab a tranny out of a 99+ V6 mustang (forgot the name) and get the controller for it i'll look for the link after i post. thats the best bethttp://www.baumannengineering.com/aodcat.htm Quote Selected
hey, turbocoupe50 Reply #20 – September 03, 2006, 05:32:53 PM Pistons are flattop... No bowl, dimples or valve relifs...(had a pix, but it's on another computer). SC AODs use the "A" servo... Ain't really important though, it's just for O/D... I don't race in O/D... Quote Selected
