Cream Dream V 2.0 438 lsx TT 1979 Zephyr Drag radial street car 56k death
Hey guys I figured I should post some info/pics over here for those of you that are not on Yellow Bullet. Here is a link to the FULL build thread:
http://www.yellowbullet.com/forum/sh...d.php?t=432473
The old car has served me well in the last two years running a best 1/4 ET of 8.47 a best 1/4 mph of 164.5 and a best 60 foot of 1.340 on the 275 radials. I drove the car a LOT putting roughly 3500-4000 kms on it this summer alone.It made over 1100 rwhp thanks to an FPS built 370" LS and twin Magnum 76mm turbos.
After this season ended and I had got the boot for only being legal to 8.50 I took a step back and realized I would not be happy slowing down so I decided I needed to either cut this car up to make it 7.50 legal or build another car...... I chose the latter
The basic plan for the car is as follows:
Car and Chassis
25.5 cert cage
Mini tubs
Full tube front frame rails forward of strut towers
Complete custom tin work inside
Custom dash insert with Holley 5.7" LCD touchscreen
Custom seat mounts for Kirkey race seats
Strip entire body to bare metal,repair any rust etc
Shave wiper cowl/gas door/antenna hole
Powertrain
FPS Built 438" LSX
World LS7X Heads
Jesel SHaft mount J2K Rockers
Beck Sheetmetal intake
Belt drive fuel pump
160lb injectors
Twin turbos (havent decided which ones yet)
PT2400 Intercooler / water to air trans cooler
Reid 1.80 straight cut powerglide
PTC custom converter
Holley HP ecu/coils
Racepak sportsman logger
Aeromotive Belt drive fuel pump
35 spline 9" 3.50 gears narrowed housing
Dynatech alluminum driveshaft
Suspension/brakes
Aerospace drag brakes front and rear
Lightweight manual master cylinder
Manual steering rack
Lightweight solid steering shaft
Team Z offset double adjustable lower control arms
Team Z Double adjustable upper control arms
Team Z spherical housing bushings
Team Z tubular K member/ A Arms
Strange 10 way adjustable front struts w/coil overs
Strange Double adjustable rear coil overs
NONE OF THIS WOULD BE POSSIBLE WITHOUT THE FOLLOWING PEOPLE IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER:
Leanne with all the support in the world for me to make my dreams a reality
My family - For always supporting my habit and making sure I am as happy as I can be while chasing them!
"Flyin Ryan Bell" - He lets me make all the power I can dream of and keep the oily bits on the inside!
James Hatfield and Jordan Brandon - For years of support/help with all my builds, help at the track... idea bouncing and general awesomeness!
Nolan Tews - The MASTER metal worker who has not only helped but completley taken on this project as one of his own and pain stakingly completed 90% of the fab work on the car.
The Horsepower Solutions crew- providing me a place to keep all my junk, financial and moral support on all my builds and help both on and off the track.
Rob@Modular Turbo - Always hooking me up with all my turbo needs and supporting me in whatever I do BUY TURBOS FROM ROB!
Jim Bell@ JB'S Power Center - Helping me out with parts/pricing and getting the car together in time for race season.
Dave@ Team Z - Always willign to give me great advice and point me in the right direction for parts and set up on chassis stuff.
Joe@ Hyperaktive - Answering my millions of questions then getting me set up with the electronics I need to get the job done.
I will make this a mega condensed version housing mostly pictures:
