I know - not exactly a supercharger anymore; but I thought some of you that have followed my build would enjoy some updated photos. So far I've done most of the work myself (quite a bit in the last 5 days in fact). The exception is the turbo and associated plumbing, which was handled by Josh Deeds - I was quite impressed with his work.
But enough of the idle chit chat - here are the goods...
Wow David looking good!! Keep up the good work.

Brandon like.
Thanks for the props gentlemen! I have to say that this is really hard work, particularly for a one man job. I can't tell you how many times I've had to repeat my labor - for instance, last night I had to undo the entire rear end to install new shocks (QA-1) and LCAs (WRC). One things for sure, I'm getting much better at wrenching on Mustangs.
If I can ever solve some of the other "minor" issues in my life, I'll re-learn how to host my own web page so that I can assemble a "history" of the build.
Looks good man,keep it up!
Nice.....
So give me some details on the motor and turbo....
I too am going turbo next year as well!:guess:
The motor is a 351W Dart block stroked to 401 ci with all forged internals and zero balance crank. Heads are AFR225, and the intake is a Victor Jr. out of the box (I'm worried it will be too restrictive, and will probably have it ported over the winter). The heads had exhaust porting, because I originally planned to stay with a S/C. I now have 1 7/8" primaries to match the exhaust ports (custom fabricated by Josh Deeds at Deeds Performance in north LA). This all feeds an 85mm turbo (class restriction for True Street in PSCA) that was again built at Deeds. Exhaust exits through a 5" downpipe that dumps just behind the front bumper.Quote:

Just cam info, RPM's planned and tranny?
I've been running a powerglide for two years, and had a more stout assembly prepared by Mike's Transmission (he's a VERY nice guy to work with). I plan to rev this motor to 7500 (solid roller/shaft rockers). PM me for cam specs :guess:Quote:

Good luck with the rest of the build!
