Well, after screwing around with push rod stuff and blow through carbs, its time to change to what i have always wanted. Im selling all my 351 Turbo parts, motor, fuel system and ignition, and installing a 03 cobra motor with twins and E85! Pretty damn excited! ganna keep the boost to about the 20lbs range till i get the short block built. But i do have a few questions. Some are planning for the future power levels, but i only want to do things once.
I have seen some blocks flex and cause distortion in the cylinders from high horsepower and motor mounts. Any idea what power level this is? Im trying to decide if i should motor plate/ mid plate or make mounts. SO insight on this would be great.
I talked to Greg at RET about computer system for the setup. He agreed that i should be able to use the wiring setup from The Detail Zone, and stock computer/SCTII for up to 1k. I have to admit, it makes me a little sick to pay a min $3K for stand alone. So ill probably run a stock style setup till i decide to go very big power. will 105injectors support what im looking for? Mass air meter Suggestions? and pipe size?
Fuel system. I plan on eventually making 1K+ rwhp, which in a 3000lb car should be pretty fun. I want to start running E85. Ive been looking at magnafuel pumps, as they seem to be fairly streetable, namely the SQ-750. Is there another pump better for EFI supporting what id like to run? I like belt pumps, but honestly, the 65 engine compartment is so tight, id rather not clutter it up any more then it already will be.
And lastely, i know i want to do twins. Im currently thinking the 6266's with a .68 A/R, T-4 i think. I dont want to get to crazy in turbo cost, as is buying two of everything sucks for cost. But cool factor is for sure there. So any options or opinions would be fine to hear.
My car (which is together right now) is probably getting completely tore down this coming week, heading to a fab shop to make the front clip removable, Remove the inner fenders, have the rear fenders expanded to allow a 28in slick to fit, and parachute mount installed. Should be picking up the motor this sunday. And i suppose for the next few months a load of money getting dumped..lol Wish me luck, and i will update as i go.
