This is my 1973 Mach 1. Currently it is going through some testing and tuning on the street and hopefully will soon be followed by a dyno tune.
Here are a couple updated shots of the car with its new hood.
Heres a shot of the white face guage kit Installed and the new monster tach an pillar guages.
And for those of you that arent up to date with the project , I rebuilt the motor again this summer with some better internals so that it could support the addition of these
YEA.... thats a twin turbocharged 351 Cleveland boasting twin T4 turbos, Twin 35mm wastegates, and a 50mm blow off valve.
But the trick is that the motor also has forged internals and a lightened rotating assembly (more then 21lbs) as well as ported heads and oversized valves giving it a 7300rpm shift point and an estimated 600HP at the wheels, (once tuned). With the 4 speed and 3.89 gears this thing FLYS.
Future upgrades Include 3.5" side exit exhaust with glass packs, Superior airflow carb hat, Real K&N filters (larger too), and a custom ground turbo cam. If I get really into it I may get a boost controller and intercooler and step it up to 14psi this spring.
Over the winter I will also Be reinstalling the 125hp Nitrous hit that used to be the primary power adder. Now it may just be that little nudge into the 10s if needed.
Update:
I changed from the slow spooling .96 housings to .69 housings. Along with this I am in the process of making a 3" dual exhaust with Glass packs that will eliminate the Flowmasters, which will also help turbo spool up.
Hopefully these two changes will help full boost (9psi) come in much lower then at 4000rpm which I was previosly seeing. This increase in low rpm boost should make an much more power below the 4000rpm mark.
