Turbo Mark VII Time Reply #15 – November 25, 2014, 12:41:36 PM The motor from the last car looks like it sold so, I guess I am making a trip to Team Z Monday to get one of their front end kits. Quote Selected
Turbo Mark VII Time Reply #16 – November 26, 2014, 04:33:57 PM Quote from: V8Demon;440830Lou, you don't need that car. I do though... Sell it to me!The paint is shot. It needs new front fenders (the rear portion in front of the door is rotten due to the sunroof drains) and the area above the rocker behind the door replaced (sunroof drains again). However it has rust free doors, hood, trunk lid and the rockers are pretty solid. Underbody and frame rails/shock towers are solid as well. You want it? Come get it . Quote Selected
Turbo Mark VII Time Reply #17 – November 27, 2014, 11:48:57 AM Yeah, what thunderjet302 said.... after the big bang, build up a 5.8 with forged pistons of the proper compression height for turbocharging. If you can find an HD block like from a motorhome conversion van, they are better castings for the high loads of boost and they should have "big valve" heads. Quote Selected

The current thought is a Dart based small block with some good heads (there is a pair of Yates C3s locally that have been taunting me) and in the boost friendly 12-13:1 compression and of course, a larger turbo.

Turbo Mark VII Time Reply #19 – November 28, 2014, 06:38:10 PM The fitment of a 351w under the hood is a huge pain in the a$$. I know. If i had to do it over i would use an upgraded 302 block and just through lots of boost at it. Oh well live and learn.Thanks,TravisP.S. maybe next year ill come down to milan to make a pass....it would be fun. Quote Selected
Turbo Mark VII Time Reply #20 – December 01, 2014, 08:47:33 AM I picked up some 95 Mustang spindles this weekend and, am ordering the Team Z front end today after work. Quote Selected

Turbo Mark VII Time Reply #22 – December 06, 2014, 11:28:06 AM Make sure that the K-Member is designed for the 94-95 spindles and not the 96+ spindles. If it can use either then sell the 94-95's as they are highly sought after on the Mustang boards and get yourself a set of the 96+ spindles. Easy way to make some $$$ and move the build along.Darren Quote Selected

Sadly, I wanted to keep the carpet but, it ripped in some very visble areas when I pulled it out.ReEditsYearly-4751 by Detroit Style, on FlickrReEditsYearly-4748 by Detroit Style, on FlickrReEditsYearly-4745 by Detroit Style, on FlickrReEditsYearly-4756 by Detroit Style, on Flickr Quote Selected

Turbo Mark VII Time Reply #25 – December 08, 2014, 09:48:15 AM Its the attached garage for my apartment. I really need to make more money so I can lease a shop for myself. Quote Selected
Turbo Mark VII Time Reply #26 – December 08, 2014, 10:18:43 AM Looks about as big as the one I had when I was in my apartment so pretty standard. I made it work to pull the T-5 out of my Coupe and put a new clutch in so its workable just not fun. I borrowed a buddy's creeper so I could at least get to the front and the back of the car rolling under it. Glad I had the larger jack stands for sure!Darren Quote Selected

I've never seen that before. Quote Selected
