i've been helping a buddy (azooooz) of mine build his 92 notchback stang and just wanted to share the progress we made.

the project started about 6 months ago when he go the car, and the project changed direction a few times but it finally settled on this. its still not done and it took so long cause the owner is kinda busy with other builds ( he is co owner of SLR over in this neck of the woods ) like his ls evo and the turbo nissan patrol .


any way , to cut to the chase; here's what was done to the car till now:

- 427 lsx block with ETP 6 bolt heads
- th-400
- F2 procharger with air to air intercooler
- kooks conversion headers
- stock appearing interior
- 28X10.5 - 15 rears
- stock style suspension
- aerospace brakes
- 9" rear end with 3.55 and spool
- custom fuel system
- AEM injector driver
- carb style intake and elbow
- ATI supercharger super pulley
- ATI blown/alc. torque converter
- wild rides torque boxes
- a whole bunch of other stuff that i don't remeber right now.

the plan is to compete in a local class over here, which means we are restricted to the stock looking interior ( need carpet and stock appearing dash), no t-brake, no wheelie bars, stock tank, stock style suspension, one power adder.

off course the car will see some street duty

here are some of the pics of the progress that has been made so far . will update from today onward of any further progress as it happens .

first off the car was gutted from the inside to see what we were working with , the "really clean" car turned to have been repaired from every corner and side . minor cracks were welded and we patched up the shifter hole, installed the shifter, removed any insulation, and then painted the interior black.

here's a pic of it with the engine in and the brakes .


the slicks and the car ( finally) on the ground :


the cog drive setup




control arms , aje kmember, and coilover conversion:


batt disconnect and batt. tray:


9" and control arms :



fuel setup:



we ordered a custom intercooler from extreme turbo systems and got this tiny unit
( thats my phone next to it )


to free up some space up front , the buttom core support was lopped off and a a tube took its place.


intercooler bracket


all this just to get to this stage

next on the list is the engine harness ( the AMS harness is already plugged in ), and rewiring the car ( lights , windows - they have to be functional, guages , etc.) then we need to finalize the location of the radiator .

also in the near future ( as soon as the intercooler is finally mounted ) is plumbing the charge pipes and ATI BOV, as well as installing the water injection kit.

and as soon as the roll cage shows up , weld that puppy up and slap in the interior as well as finalizing the seat location.

Hey dirty,
Looks like I'm not the only one playing with the big stuff lol. Do you think that fuel set-up is going to be enough? I have the dual inline pumps set-up on my car like that too and I'm worried it's not going to support the power. When I put together the fuel system, the shop I got it from said it should be good to 950rwhp. I'm guessing this car and mine are most likley going to be over that. What size injectors is he using?

chuntington, thanks ! no , this is "only" a 4 inch core

ruf, wait till you see the other stang i'll be working on soon ( not mine or this, its for a guy named omar, and you bet it will be documented like the others ), it should be quite different than what you usually see here.

i have the same setup on my camaro , and it is doing ok so far . it should be goot to a about 1000 hp like i heard. the thing is ( on both this car and my camaro ) if we need to upgrade to something bigger , the magna fule pump that the white corvette was running will go on there with little modification to the system - hence the big plate that holds the pumps.
i just want this thing to run , we could then work out the bugs and begin the fine tunning process .

as for injectors i think he is running 95 lbs/hr , but i'm not sure, i'll have to check.

didn't do much today , just finished up the intercooler support and lower core support. also started cutting and welding the charge pipe from the blower into the cooler, should be finished up tommorw. als ostarted ripping the front facia of the car to get more air in , so far so good . it should be mostly done tommorow too.

after that , the pipe going from the intercooler to the throttle body gets made. it will have the BOV, methanol injection nozzles, and the IAT sensor in it . it will basically be a straight pipe from the intercooler to the TB.

This is just sick!

You might look into getting the gto bracket replicated out of steel and a tad thicker too. The alum one bends under 8rib power, who knows what a f2 and a ton of boost will do.

already ahead of you jake we're making a brace that attaches the blower to the head, in a sense triangulating the whole thing for a robust fit.

i do agree that the way the bracket is set up from ati looks a bit on the flimsy side, but hopefully the brace will cure that. the mounting tab on the blower is already done, just need to fab a rod ( maybe a threaded hiem joint ) and attatch it to one of the holes in the side of the head.

some progress to report:

we hacked up the front bumper to gut some more air to the intercooler .


also managed to finish up the charge pipe from the blower to the intercooler :


and got the pipe from the intercooler to the throttle body kinda done ( welded the BOV, need to get an IAT bung and sensor and th meth injection nozzles on there.

we put the fenders on to see how it looks :



also got a snow performance boost refrenced methanol injection kit in today . we'll be fabricating a place in the driver inner fender area for the pump to mount, and will position the tank for easiy access right behind the driver side headlight. the plan is also to go with the dual nozzle kit . the meth kit should be installed by tomorow ( except for the electrical work), the trans coole ron the other hand might be finished by sat. . the plan for that is to mount two coolers back to back in the passenger side fenderwell opening we have.

harness should also be in by tomorow , it'll take a few days to rip it apart and thin it down ( it will be an engine harness from a junyard car).

as for the throttle body , guages, and the moroso oil accumilator ; they should be in by the begining of next week ( i hope ).

so, next up is getting all the sensors, installing the engine harness as well as a relay/fuse panel, fabbing up a driveshaft, and see if we can fire this thing up !

This is my hopefully my next build. I love it guys. What is the projected hp? 800 range?

Qwiknotch

very nice....

it seems all the conversions are going turbo or blower..

I guess I will be in the minority with a carb and a TKO600

Qwiknotch

please tell me you are being sarcastic

my 402 with unported dart heads and a 150shot made 798hp and 786tq

this thing will make 1300-1500hp with an F2

Cam72aro

iTrader: (28)

Yes, being sarcastic, lol. With that much power, should be in the low 8's?

Qwiknotch

it should run low 8's, depends on how heavy it is.

can I have you camaro? please? sugar on top?

my favorite years.. 70 1/2 - 73 I will have one someday and convert it to a split bumper too...
