Just the 4th pass on the new combo. It’s getting there.

Awesome!

Sheesh! THATS MOVING! are you still running a blow through?

Volare…………………...it's always the meek looking ones that take the most lunch money

Yes, CSU blow through on e85.


It’s now a 5.7 hemi turbo setup.

Nice pass.


Tim

I like different

What are you using for rear end housing?

Dana 60 out of uncle rico’s Camper van.

Thats very impressive, nice work!

What it run?

8.70@156. 5.58 @126 1/8. 1.34 60’ 3600lbs

Outstanding! !!

Not familiar with your car.
Turbo and? ??????

That alone should get your Man Card reinstated

What rear suspention?

Stock springs, added main leaf from a Toyota Truck, home made Caltrac bars, and Viking double adjustable shocks. Nothing crazy

Very nice. Does the car still utilize the transverse torsion bar arrangement?

Yes it does.

Uncle rico knew what parts were good back when he was throwing pig skins at state! lol

Very impressive!

Nice!

Do you have a build thread on this?

I do not, but I can answer any questions you’ve got.

How hot were the brakes after getting stopped at Kilkare.....? Lol

Not that bad honestly. People have been mid 170s there in cars like mine and stop fine. Parachute helps a ton.

Hey that's awesome...Questions??? hmm..sure, got a pile of them...pretty much all F/M/J-body specific stuff though.

Alright, here is the 1st one: what did you do (if anything) to stiffen up the chassis? I'm thinking frame ties, rollcage I suppose...can you show pics of the body specific fabrication required?

The goal for my '81 coupe is to be a pretty serious car, it will require that level of support, so anything I can look at today that will make this task easier is very welcome!

Can you give us a run down on the build?

Nice

5.7 hemi, turbo, 1.80 glide. 3600lb brick

wow that left the camera frame fast !
cool car

How much boost?

What, heads, rotater, intake, turbo, boost?
Doug

Stock heads stock block, decent crank, Chevy rods, s488.



Still have about 10 more lbs to go as well.

Which head 2002-08 or 2009-now? Ported?
What fuel?

Awesome job man. Makes me want to build one for sure. 157mph is cookin'

Eagles. Probably going to switch to Apache this winter.

Assuming msd ignition?

and pics of engine compartment

It won’t upload a photo, looks like e 5.7 hemi in a Volare.

Was interested in the turbo packaging, What headers are you using?

Stock manifolds, that’s all you need.

I like the basic rear suspension and the 60 ft. Times.

That's Bad Azz Dude !!!!!!!! Awesome Job !!!!!!

What fuel are you using??

Awesome man, that is moving. Ive been following your progress on IG.

I think I figured the whole picture thing out. Let me know if it works.

It works, add more!

Where's the radiator?

Here’s some more older pics

I was wondering how long it would take someone to ask that. Lol



It’s under the trunk floor. Standby for pictures

Radiator

I'm liking this car more and more and I've never been a turbo fan at all, lol. It cools good like that? Then again, I imagine it doesn't make a lot of heat just normal driving. I bet my car would run hot real quick w/ a setup like that. Another advantage to the newer stuff.

Yes it’s great. Same rad I had in the front with the small block. It runs 180 down the highway and actually runs cooler when you stop. At stop lights with the fam on it will drop to 150-160

It's cool to see an F body demanding respect!!!
I'm lucky in my part of the world a 10 second street car is still fast.

Yeah the rear radiator always seems sketchy to me but it seems to work. There is lots of drag week guys that do that. There is a guy in particular that daily drives his 7 second mustang in Dallas traffic, he just recently added AC and put the condenser stacked with the radiator under the trunk.

What transmission you run in this car?

1.80 glide.

so these modern day casting blocks/heads can take some HP ?

As long as you have a mild engine that doesn't make any heat under normal driving conditions it seems to work. Like I said though, on MY car, I bet it'd run hot real quick. My old school stuff isn't quite as efficient as the new gizmos, lol.
Newer design mild engine w/ a big power adder is def. the way to go for a street driven car that's gonna see a lot of miles. I like doing things the hard way I guess, w/ old school stuff in a heavy sled...but it's what I like.

I like it , very cool

what size hoses do you use up and back, and how do you fill the radiator, and do only use a stock water pump to move the water?
