Im planning on changing up the turbo setup by placing the turbo up front forward facing.There will be bracing to hold the turbo. The reason for the change up is because there would be problems mounting the vacuum pump,alt ,and the mechanical fuel pump with the current turbo configuration. There will also a few other changes so stay tuned.
more pieces of the puzzle came in today. Heres my SFI approved flywheel when your going to make torque in the 1400lb range you need a torque convertor that wont blow thru and be able to hold the power. So i called up Art at Coan engineering about my setup. He recommended me the Coan super mega max spragless convertor. I optioned for the bolt together convertor which makes it easy to change stall speed by just swapping the stator.Instead of sending it out to get cut open. Engine is assembled and dyno broken in ..ready for pick up.
Can't believe I missed this thread til now... This is a sick build. Very nice progress man, and nice fab skills. All you guys building killer cars makes me want to do it!
have you seen how sweet the StainlessWorks Up front and forward look..you have skillz dude..:smile: where are the VC's from..i like
yeah i agree the forward looks and works great ,makes it easier to route the downpipes. I cant take most of the credit for the fab work as i can barely weld aluminum ,workin on it though. The rest of the credit goes to the few good people helping me along the way. The v-clamps i bought from a chassis guy , i dont know where he got them from.
