1986 XR7 351 turbo swap.... Reply #106 – October 13, 2012, 10:27:23 PM You know Vinnie....anything is possible... The big C4 bellhousing just made everything very tight... Besides I needed a real torque convertor verse the cheap 2000 stall thing I had installed. The 5 months will give me the time I need.Travis Quote Selected

1986 XR7 351 turbo swap.... Reply #109 – November 22, 2012, 11:16:32 AM I recently purchased a 85 turbo coupe, low miles, one owner car in great condition. I am building a windsor sportsman 4 bolt main stroker engine with a T-76 turbonetics. I am going with a 95 sn 95 8.8 with 33 spline axles and trutrac diff. Not sure on what i am going to do with the trans yet. A tremac will not hold up so have been looking at a G force 4 speed but may do a silverfox built 4r70w with rmvb and trans brake. It will come down to money in the end and i am going to end up selling my vert that i have owned since new this spring to finish building the car. Quote Selected

1986 XR7 351 turbo swap.... Reply #119 – March 19, 2013, 09:23:45 PM Well that's the trick as I have found out....not sure on the vendor yet...I guess making a good turbo converter is hard...is $$.. I found decent info About Rev Max ...I the problem is I have 2 c4...both are good but I don't know if they will last.So 4r70w in the next year...so I don't want to spend big $$ if my c4 may not Last....on the fence...TravisP.s.
