The Improved Slow66 Build Thread...

[Slow66]

Well, frankly my other build thread had a bunch of pictures of crap that i did that i either ended up changing or ditching all together. Well, I finally have my shit together and have a SET plan on how I am going to actually finish this thing. I had alot of stuff that i was going to do like a de-stroke, and run on methanol (which i will still do both eventually), but I want to actually DRIVE this thing at some point, so I'm going to run what I have on gas and just try and enjoy the thing. I've committed to working on the thing on a regular basis again, so i ahve some new progress as of today. So heres the whole build (3 years going....) in a quick rundown. Most of you have seen these already (theres some new ones at the end though ) but the goal is to have this thing make noise in the spring... I know, i know, thats what i said last year too....

Anyways heres the pics for those that may have not seen them before...


Started out life with me as a stock 87 turbo auto with a bad knock...and was promptly gutted completely.

Ordered some stuff up from a redneck catalog...

And then got happy with a sawzall....

Started fabbing...

Roll cage time...

Sprayed Purple....

Rear tinwork...

Lexan...

Cams. 288 duration 12.5mm lift. Stock on the left.

Got crazy and decided to tube the front, mostly for space. The fuel cell and turbo are mounted up front.

*latest progress* Mounted up the turbo. It has been in 3 other spots before this. This one is permanent

Next up, header fab (again) and Intake manifold, with all these goodies...

Stay tuned!!

 

[Slow66]

For those that may be interested in the motor plans, here they are:

Old plans: Destroke, custom aluminum rods (which i have already and will sit on the shelf for a while) 11.5:1 compression, 3600cc injectors, Methanol, the cams i showed earlier, Big Stuff 3 engine management and dry sump oiling.

Plans i will go with so i can actually finish in this century: Stock crank, Pauter rods and Ross pistons ive had laying on the shelf from previous motor, same cams as above, 1600cc injectors, racegas, Big Stuff 3 engine management, and stock oiling (with improvements)

Trans is a powerglide with stright cut gears and a ~5500 stall converter and the Ford 9" w/ 4.30 gears and a 30" tire...

I think thats about it for now.

This car is amazing. Can't wait to see you finish it Bryan.

 

[F&H Performance]

Looks great Brian, dont forget what we spoke about in texas you need anything, I mean anything make sure you call.

 

[suprakid24]

Subscribed, awesome build. Did you do all the tubing and stuff yourself? Again, that's awesome.

 

[suprastanger507mgte]

amazing. I like the turbo sitting away from the engine. that will keep the motor are looking clean. Awesome work!

 

[suprarich]

Darn it Bryan, I just used the last fully race preped stock crank I had. Send me your crank if you want me to fixed it up.

Its not real till i see it make a pass with my own eyes at SILV. There is no 7M on this planet that can produce more power than 300HP. i could only get 299.8 out of mine back in the day. Your clearly reading too many of those redneck magazines. :biglaugh:


Glad to see u get back on the horse. I'm really anxious to see this thing move already! And from an asthetic standpoint.... u know a turbo on the other side of the bumper would really balance things out too. :sarcasm:

I'd call this a bit more than 300HP.

Nick, I'm saving that for when i blow up the 7M a few times and then go to a 1/2UZ with twin 88s :naughty:

 

[noah89t]

nice work bryan, maybe you can have that in texas rather than that white rental car you guys had.

 

[Clint]

Right on Brian its about time you get on the ball again ...

 

[suprahero]

Great job Brian. Call me if you need any help degreeing your cams............


Noah, I bet their rental got better gas mileage............:biglaugh:

How hard would it be to put a 9'' in a regular car? Not tub it out or anything, just make it a lil more drag friendly.
