Project... I wanna go fast!

[Blowpastyou]

Bought a beat up old coupe from a feller off here.... This is what it started off as... minus the hood.

I wanted a two tone paint job, so a buddy hacked this paint job on the car... Its definetly a 10 footer, but much better.
http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb78/blowpastyou/carinprocess025.jpg

Then It was time to try and go fast, so I tore it all apart, and went at it. This is the ending result of the 3 months after I bought it... Went a best of 9.95 a 13x??mph, 1.43 60, leaving at idle on 275/60 radials. This is with stock block, crank, rods. Not too bad....

Then I decided to build a boss block 331, well the shop that built it messed it up beyond recognition. Ended up having to completely rebuild that. and ended up with a boss block 338, and ive been going crazy ever since. I took it way too far. I havent had a lick of fun since I started this project.
So now Its a 338, highports, titanium valvetrain, 88mm custom turbo setup, air/water intercooler, motor/mid plate, ginormous solid roller, super vic efi, 90mm accufab, 160# injectors, Fast efi, msd 7530, Weldon 2035, spaghetti menderswiring, powerglide, rearend narrowed 5", 35 spline gun drilled and star flanged axles, big 9" housing ends, spool, main cap studs, T/a girdle, Aerospace brakes all the wayaround.. 10pt moly cage, through floor subframe connectors, mini tubs, coil overs in the rear....theres much more, but you get the point. I'll try to keep updating this as I go

[Maximus]

[mustangboy]

Looking SWEET Eddie. If you need any ceramic or powder on any of those go fast goodies I would love to help. So whats the eta for it hitting the streets?

[Blowpastyou]

Im done with this project... I would trade it for a nice sn95 and take a huge loss..... I change my mind like I change my underwear, once a week... But ive changed jobs since starting this, and just cant afford to build it the way I want.

You sure you aren't related to Ray in some way?? JFWY Don't give up on it, wait out whatever is going on and see where things go from there, you've got too much and have come too far with it to give up now. You'll kick yourself in the arse if you get rid of it. For real.

[draggin50]

Id trade both testicles and the wife for a ride like this! Nice car!

[Blowpastyou]

Started working on the hot rod tonight. Got the rearend backout, started to fit the brakes. Took a scotch-brite to the cage, and then painted it (pain in the ASS!!). Turned out alright. Tomorrow im going to finish clean the mini tubs up, seam seal them and get them coated, and put the carpet to them.

[Blowpastyou]

glad to see you getting it finished,its gonna be a beast!!
whens the kk debut?

[Blowpastyou]

Honestly not sure... We'll see...

[Maximus]

Damn, Looking Good!:bigthumb

Running the trans cooler in-line like that will kill your ice in your IC. After one run, my H2O reservoir, the ice was gone and the water was warm to the touch. Trans temps NEVER got over 160 thou.:D

Keep the pics coming.:)

[Kwik92GT]

Lookin' killer Eddie! :bigthumb Keep on it man, the payoff is coming. :rockon:

Im also going to be running a trans cooler under the car with a fan on it, for street driving. Hopefully this will help a little? Only one way to find out.

Found the aluminum dowel rod i was looking for to make spacers for the crank trigger.
http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb78/blowpastyou/0ccb2482.jpg
Just realized that the fuel cell and the ice tank are almost an exact match in size... Sweet!
http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb78/blowpastyou/DSC01591.jpg
NASVT smoothed all the casting flash and matched the intake to 1262Rs

[5.0calypso93lx]

Can you run a thermostat with that water neck?

[mustangboy]

Hey Eddie if you want your intake and/or elbow to match those valve covers I've got a color that looks just like it. Looking great, keep at it.

[TooFast98Cobra]

wow looks great!!!

[Blowpastyou]

You can't run a thermostat. But you can run a restrictor. I'm going to leave the intake natural, and the edelbrock elbow will be replaced with a wilson as soon as I find a deal on one.

[Maximus]

#16 Line? You shouldnt need a restrictor. When I had my first Turbo'd Stang, I ran #16 line with no restrictor and had zero problems.

How much did you drive that car on the street? Was that BAAB?

[Blowpastyou]

I hadnt planned on running a restrictor unless I have to. I wouldnt think I would have to.

[Walter]

Soooooo sick.

[Maximus]

How much did you drive that car on the street? Was that BAAB?

A LOT and Yes.:D

[Rick93coupe]

It does look really good Eddie, I should have taken a look at it the other night in person when I stopped out.

[TooFast98Cobra]

A LOT and Yes.:D

how long did it take to get to operating temp. I ran nothing in my old setup and I would have to sit there for like ten minutes until it would idle, I did have a carb also lol

[Blowpastyou]

Only one thing wrong with that picture.....











You need a Skinny Kid Wing on there!:bigthumb

[Kwik92GT]

The tach and gauges are going to be difficult to read IMO. :D :lol:

[Blowpastyou]

Im going to get a wing, just dont know when...I want a racecraft strutted wing, but if i came across a deal on a skinny kid or a teamz one.... ide be all over it.

[Blowpastyou]

Finished modding the distributor for the fast, and putting the new gear on. It was alot easier than I thought. Also got some other goodies, coil, starter, aluminum optima battery hold down.

HOLY CHIT !!!!!!.....Thats a really nice ride man...Im jealous...wanna trade..lol

[Blowpastyou]

Got the motor and tranny set down in the car, put the AJE p/g crossmember in, and measured for a travel limiter for the motor. Think i might move it back another inch or so. I also couldnt help but to set the hood on it and see what it looked like closer to ride height...!!!

Took a stab at doing sheetmetal work for the first time. Its not all that bad. I just took my time and really thought about how I wanted it to look, and how i wanted to brace it all up. I think it turned out alright.

The ice/water, fuel cell, and battery hold down just sitting in there. I still have to bend up a sump, or cut it out and seam seal it. Havent figured out what I want exactly yet.

[WARMACHINE]
