not festiva but new project wife and i are doing

[Mizery]

working on a twin turbo 460 bbf with a set of t4's right now no turbos yet, i have the turbos but waiting on some headers and some internals. for now just a few pics of the car and the motor in place. also a pic or 2 of the old 4cyl in the car. also i painted the engine bay the same color as i will be painting my car. its called Dark Night Metalic. looks good. after we are finished we are looking for about 1200 hp so wish us luck.



















heres a friend of mine...... just had to snap take the pic for black mail .

when i scrape some money up in a pile im going to build a turbo 3rd gen camaro, im hopfuly going to push 700 to 800 hp, it is also going to be run on ethanol that 460 is going to crazy fast, keep us updated

Nice Mustang! I have a 93 LX Hatchback 2.3l

Sweet.....460CID....There's alot of blowers on the market....would be my choice.
Anyway....if you unleash the potential of that engine....your going to rip that chassis apart....have fun....realy nice picts.

very nice mustang and very very clean!!! good luck with the project

[Mizery]

thanks, we are looking forward to getting it done over the next yr. like i said we are shooting for 12 psi and 1100-1200 hp. already have the t4 turbos for the project. talked to a guy out at probe pistons and they are going to custom make me set of 7.9 to 1 pistons @ 120 each. not to bad. we have alot of suspention work to do to get this thing to hook when its done. should be alot of fun. ill keep you all posted. maybe in the next week il have some more pics to post. right now im just getting over ACL surgery i had last monday, so im out for a week or two since i cant really walk. ill look aound the computer and see if i can find a few other pics i can show in the mean time.

That car will be sick!!! I have a 93 Cobra with twiin turbos and it makes good power! i can only imagine a 460! Can I have a ride when its done?

[Mizery]

sure you can your not that far from me. and i was going to twin a 302 would be easier and cheaper.. but hey whats the fun in that.

And theres nothing quite like massive cubic inches under the hood of a car.

a friend of mine just got done building a mustang, he started with a 351, bored it out to i think 406, built the whole engine and figures it has around 600 horsepower on just straight motor, i'll try and get a picture of it

There's no replacement for displacement. Man, that's a nice ride in progress.

[Mizery]

thanks alot guys. but i still dont think it wil have the shock facter like my festiva did.. theres lots of fast mustangs not many 12 sec festiva's ... but we are planning mid 8s to low 9s maybe faster maybe slower...lol traction will be the deciding facter of that.

[JPT]

Standard or automatic? (Either way, that thing is going to be BAD!)

[niklid05]

i need to find another notch to replace my current heap of one.

looking good, keep it up.

[Mizery]

well ill be going c6 trans auto for consistant times. and anotther reason for auto i can haveone built for around 2200-2400 to hold over 1200 hp. i looked and just for a clutch to hold that much power was over 1000.00 then you gotta look at a pressure plate. and then the build of the trans gears to hold the power.. looking at over 4k for a trans. from what some shops around here have told me.

i have a doc appointment in the morn. to remove the staples from my knee, so hopefully by next weekend ill be able to start on my car again . thinking of going ahead and getting the stock 365hp/480tq motor running and ready while i wait and find the parts i need to finish the car. plus i want to see what a stock motor / stock suspention will do before the motor is built. kinda want a baseline of before and afters. and thanks for the support guys. happy to have it.

oh and btw the guy i built my old festiva with and i are already looking for another festiva shell. we are thinking of building another with a bpt. but with alot slower build time. dont wanna rush this one. i think once we had all the parts for my last one we had it done in a month if that. had a few bugs but eventually worked out. miss that little guy. but if we decide to build another it will be out side project. well i think ima hit the sack talk to you guys later.
