What about sealing of the turbo to header, which is easier/harder to get a good seal on it and keep it? Thanks, James.

Very nice....amazing engine to be going still:cool:

Here is the proposed combo: Rebuilt stock block w/ stock crank, stock rods and forged pistons GN1 Heads (8bolt) port matched intake Roller cam setup Roller Rockers 3" D.P. & Hooker exhaust 2800 stall built trans FMIC F-body radiator/dual fans LS1 MAF & translator 50# injectors HV...

The car has long since been out of my possession. All I can say is that the turbo failed (had a boost spike of 30psi one night), the cam wiped a lobe....then a rod saw daylight. Never really did figure out the puff. I did figure out that, although very fun to drive, the gn/ttype's are...

It was probably about 4 puffs, I did it until it stopped moving any higher. Also I doubt it is a blown head gasket. I have had no detonation and cometics don't just blow for no reason. I took the valve covers off today and checked it all out. I started the car with the valve covers off and...

I did cut open the filter and found alot of tiny metal flakes and the oil had a light glitter look to it. This is not good, but what I expected:(

I did a compression test today with the engine warm, all plugs removed, I did not open the throttle blade to wot though. I got these numbers: #1-133 #2-140 #3-130 #4-127 #5-139 #6-133 Plugs had a little build up on a few of them and one was very slightly green at the...

I started feeling my car was a little rough while driving today. Not much, just slightly different. I let it idle, opened up the hood and popped the throttle with my hand at the throttle body. If I popped it kinda quick to about 2500/3000(i'm guessing) you can hear a loud clatter/rapping noise...

Check out my post: Awesome 1986 t-type F.S. in TX I live in amarillo.

I had it on the TA60. It is fully ported where it connects to the down pipe and also had quite abit of material out of the elbow with everything smoothed as soft as silk. I spent a long time on it...probably 2 1/2+ hours. I did it with a dremel, tried all different kinds of bits and sanding...

I've got one that I ported. Extremely smooth and ported out to the max. $35 shipped. Let me know, James

I got an f-body radiator because of price but I also put on an aftermarket oil and tranny cooler as well. Temps during stop and go driving with A/C on in 90+ degree weather stay right around 164. If the temps get to 173 the fans kick on and bring it right down to 162, where they turn off, within...

There are tons of experienced engine builders and the like who I am sure have an idea of what could be the cause. Please give me some advice or explination/speculation to what might be causing the smoke. I have read and it seems the valve seals on the intake or valve guides on the exhaust...

It's almost like when you start your car when its real cold outside. It's very light and not dense at all. Anybody have any ideas?

I just got through putting everything back together and breraking the cam in today. I noticed after I turned the car off and let it sit for a few minutes, then went to turn it back on that for a couple seconds it would smoke. It doesn't smoke at any other time. There are no leaks and the exhaust...

It says I should keep it at 2000 rpm for 30 minutes. Should I change the oil after this period or drive it around for about 100 miles then change the oil? After the 30 minute break-in period, how long should I wait before getting the rpms up? Thanks, James.

Ok, back to the post. What kinda e.t.'s can/does 450rwhp get you?

Anybody know of estimated 1/4 times with my horsepower/combo? Just wondering, since it will be awhile till I get to see for myself. Thanks, James.

I'd rather be rich too, than loose a piston or HG:) What kinda torque am I looking at with this combo? Also what are some quarter mile times/mph I should expect with about a 3psi launch, with good traction, at 3600 ft elevation. I am just running street tires and a stock converter, but at...

Thanks salvage. Well all runs will be on pump gas and alky...since thats why I got the alky:) I have noticed most people don't go over 25psi, this is the reason why I am sticking to that number, But is this kinda the edge for our cars bottom end or can the bottom end(considering no...
