Quit dicking around. Grab a can of race gas...get to the track...and call me.

I have a chip for race gas and a front mount.... Your old one!  I may have to do that if that tranny doesn't get finished soon.  it would be interesting to see what the old engine and tranny can do before the swap.

BTW, engine and tranny that is coming out will be up for sale.

Is it original to the car? I would mothball it of it is. Your kids can turn it into gold in twenty years.

Jason...get out to the track with the drivetrain that's in it now. Plenty of fuel in that race chip as that's the one I ran the 6.7 with. Make a 330 foot pass...and get your foot out of it. Come back around and check the PL log for fueling in low/high gear. If all looks well...go out and go the full 1/8. Once again...come back around and check your PL log. You can start making your fueling adjustments if all looks well. We talked on the phone how easy it is to set up the fueling with race gas. If they knew how easy it was...they'd crap their pants.

Jason...what turbo is on the engine between the frame rails now?

[good2win22]

Right now there is a little ta49 in there

I believe grumpy and his daughter went nines in her car with a ta49. So for a "little" turbo it moves plenty of air.

Stock convertor? What size exhaust housing?

It was a 6776 with a 9/11 convertor...al ky...5.7 chip...3.5 MAF and Translator. I'll take a flyer on Russ building the engine...doing the heads...and building the transmission. 9.9x at 138.

[TexasT]

So, the ta49 is a 10 sec turbo. Nothing to sneeze at.

J Huber in Jersey cracked the 10's with a 49...just barely tho.

Brad,

I have no intentions of hurting this drivetrain in the event of selling it or holding onto it for future use.  That being said, I ain't pushing it.  I built the barn motor for beating on. 

As far as the combo for what is in the car right meow:    stock block, stock heads with 981 springs, nice new timing chain, new water pump, 160 t-stat,  the TA49 has a garret .63 on the exhaust, the tranny is stock with a D5, 60's in the intake, old school precision FMC, racetronix 340 pump with hot wire, -8 feed, -6 return, accufab FPR,  maf translator for with an lt1 maf, stock elbow on a stock down pipe, stock headers, some crappy aftermarket dual exhaust, cold air intake thru the front of the header panel behind the drivers side head lights, and your old chip pump gas/alky TT chip that wasn't burned for a front mount.

That's about all I can remember...

Rich,

I may put it up in a corner of the barn, I just haven't decided yet.  With it out of the limited, I have the parts to do a conversion on a non turbo buick car.  I have been really thinking of finding a Gbody station wagon and making that something fun.

I'd love to live vicariously through a long roof turbo. You have my support. If I can get this job situation under control I'd do my own, haha. I just look at all the cars that seem to bring the biggest money are documented and have the original stuff. I know I have Rubbermaid tubs full of the stuff I pulled off over the years .
