not festiva but new project wife and i are doing

[Mizery]

my first big block set was home built. using opposite side shorty headers (this is far from ideal) at the time my welding and fabricating skills were not what they are now. i hacked them off and bought a ton of mandrel bends from the speedshop (most bends were messups) i mixed and matched and bent to make the collecters turn forward twords the radiator and up to a merge pipe to were the batt once was.

kinda waht i was wanting to do.

This car will be awesome without a turbo!

[Mizery]

thats the nitrous motor build. the turbo build will have alot of the same parts differant pistons for lower compression, and BME rods rated to 1000hp . other than that pretty close to the same. the motor i am turboing is still in my car. and will take alot longer to build since i have to have alot of custom stuff made. like rods and pistons, and headers. but that is all still in the works. i posted the update with the nitrious parts because i pretty much and it set, might change a part of 2 but still pretty much all in stock parts from summit and about 5k cheapet to build the motor than the turbo.makes less power about 700-800 hp but should still be awesome. turbo motor should be around the 1k hp range.


my rods for the turbo should be around 1100.00 and pistons around 900 or so. but when i get them i shouldnt have to worry about breaking them. ill try and get some pics posted of the 460 we just tore down.

and i just noticed how many post you have brian.. 10.3k i think you need to get that posting number up a bit , it looks a little low.

Fox body notch backs have got to be the most beautiful cars ever designed. Awesome project!
