408w/PT101/4-30-10 track #'s in!

[86lxnotch]

well i blew the 351 up so now im goin stroker and adding a second mp70. engine is at the machine shop, crank and main girdle should be here soon. so i figured i would get a jump on things. got another set of headers and some sawzall blade/cut off wheels. jegs was also kind enough to deliver a nice large box of 3'' piping that i ordered. $250 for 4 u-bends, 4 90's, 4 45's and 4 4ft pieces of straight. should be enough for the downpipes all the way back. using 1 5/8'' headers and 2.5'' pipe to the turbos for good spool. starting with .68 housings. borrowed a friends 70 so i have 2 for mockup. destruction has commenced and pics will follow. i removed the entire front end so i have more room to work and can easily relocate wiring out of harms way. pics will follow in the next few days

Sweet good luck with your build

[86lxnotch]

heres the start of the carnage...........got the pass side cut out, still gotta do the drivers side and i will be filling back in then. also pull the wiring into the wheel well. also will fill and smooth majority of bay holes when i put the new motor in

[king coupa]

niiicce, i've been waiting for someone to do a 408 turbo setup.

[DaOnE51T]

I can't wait until this build is done.  Are you going to fill the block?

[86lxnotch]

yea half filled and im gonna use a d.s.s. main girdle on it as well

[falstaff]

Looks good

[DannyS]

what kind of heads are you running? dave pickrels twin turbo truck is a 408w with 2 mp t-70's

i'd like to do that in the future, what kind of power you plan on making?

danny

[86lxnotch]

right now box stock vic jr's but i might get them ported. 800ish on pump and 1k-1100 on racegas

[86lxnotch]

drivers inner fender is chopped out now and i used a whole one 2.5'' u bend to go from the header to turbo. its tacked up, still need turbo flange for final position but im still gonna weld it up as is. im tacking stuff with my mig here at home and doing final welds with one of the tigs at work. pics tomorrow!

[The Fab Forum]

Its gonna be close to mine...
Good luck

[86lxnotch]

close. nobody is gonna know what im packing unless they know me or know of me. im using a very mild cam like a friend of mine has in his 408/ys trimmed car. 95% of people that see/hear his car think its a stock cammed 5.0 with a blower and exhuast. yet makes almost 620rwhp on 7-8lbs. should be interesting to say the least lol

very good!

[86lxnotch]

main girdle and new intake i got from botietr, welded header still missing a lil stuff, then "mounted" pics for pass side and finally empty drivers side just waiting to be filled

[86lxnotch]

drivers pipes are tacked together up to the turbo, still waiting on flanges. wiring is halfway tied up and out of the way.  i'll get some pics tonight or tomorrow

[86lxnotch]

have to get the pics on here from the drivers header, i chopped my bent up lower rad support off and capped the bottom of the rails with 1/8'' plate and bent up a piece of 1'' .095 tubing at work for the new support. got it welded on and the rad/intercooler back "in" place. making the rad mounts tomorrow and the i/c mounts fri prolly. dropped the rad down some as well as moved it front a little bit too. came out even better than i expected

[86lxnotch]

ok well here is the pics i promised, i also made the lower rad. mounts today and got them tacked in place. figured out what i need to do for the upper mounts and i will make them at work tomorrow and hopefully have them done tomorrow night along with a couple more pics. i also started welding up some unneeded holes in the frame rails. more will be filled after i remove the engine from mockup. also have a 1300hp capable glide in the works which will be niceeeeeeeee

[86lxnotch]

oh almost forgot, im making a custom alt mount as well to pull it as close to the motor as i can. still have to make a plate for the front side. already have the spacer for behinf the alt to the head done

[91foxj]

nice work

[86lxnotch]

thanks 91fox, i just ran into a MAJOR holdup on the project. i was planning on having her back on the road by the end of may. i was going to sell my tko3550 and use that $ to go towards a glide or th400. well ford101mustang on here is local to me and was going to buy it and then we ended up working a trade. my car SEVERELY needs bodywork and a paint job. its rattle canned and looks like hell. so im going to pickup another set of bumper covers since mine are pretty much toast. i will be picking up a set of MINT manual 86 doors off another friend as well. i currently have the engine and trans back out so i can weld up the holes in the bay before i give him the car to start on. i cant wait as this car has never been anywhere near pretty since i bought it as a roller off a friend for $150 after i totaled my 90 hatch i had. its gonna be weird that i will actually have to wash and wax the thing now!

Damnit, you were making so much good progress.  I thought I would see it done real soon before I attempted it.  Pretty don't make it FAST!!!j/p..............


it gets the bitches!!!!!!!!!

[86lxnotch]

dont need the bitches, i got a great woman, she loves mustangs, we are doin a 62-1 on her v6 stang and she was even under my car getting dirty today. i put this car through hell so i figured she should atleast get a good paint job, afterall i plan on getting this thing in some mags then. i had a chance with MM&FF before but they wanted a nice looking car so

[86lxnotch]

got the manual doors today, crank came in, and i finished welding up the holes. laying a little filler to further smooth everything out but im tryin to keep it minimal as i dont want the extra weight lol. waiting on a reply yet on the bumpers which sucks

[Mr.MartyStone]

build is looking great. I'm thinking of doing Twins with T70's as well, you might have swayed me 

[86lxnotch]

haha thanks, i was originally just gonna redo the single setup i had on it and use a t6 88mm but another carb blowthrough guy on here just happened to have something similar to what i was wantng to build but with the twin 70's so i said screw it
