Wow! It's probably at least a 427ci with a T76 strapped to it.

427 with 88mm.

Looks like a whole lota fun.

I dont see the big deal......:jest:

Nice work!
Thanks for sharing.

Mike

Awesome, need I say more??

Thanks guy's. Trying to build something fun to bring to cruise nights and track a bit.

Some specs

Resleeved LS2 block, dragon slayer crank, comp rods, weiseco pistons built by Shawn from Virginia speed.- 427ci

TEA/TFS 235cc 6 bolt heads. Inconel exhaust valves, upgraded springs

Mid 230's Cam

Super Victor intake with Aaron elbow, 90mm TB

127lb at 45psi injectors from Injector Connection

Fully built T400, reverse valve body, trans brake ect from RPM transmission

3400 stall from Yank

FAB 9" with spool, 3.00 gears from Midwest Chassis, also Strange brakes all around

custom fabbed fuel tank from Nasty Performance

BMR front suspension

Alky control methenol system

Hoping to have it running in about a month. Breaking it in on 15lb springs, hoping for 900-1000rwhp on this boost.

Other then the yank converter it looks great! Theres so many better options out there why put one of those pos converters in there? If its because you have it or something I get that... But to buy one new.... No way. I think it will make more then 1000 too, if you want it to.

i love yank converters. Mine works great! It is a great street/strip converter. For a high HP drag car there are definetly better options though. But i don't think this particular car is an all out drag car.

I wouldn't use one for anything, there's too many other options that are tons better. You'd benefit from something else too I guarantee it.

Lets not make this a JL knowledge thread.

I'll use the Yank and have in many other cars, worked great for this power. We all know there are other converters out there.

looks awesome

I'm kinda glad you went with some streetability. It will have a broader appeal.
At first I was thinking you were going for a race car, 25.3, glide, bigger turbo, etc...

I think its gonna be sick.

Although maybe a few inches off that rear and a mini-tub would still be sweet. :)

Love it Don, keep up the good work. At the end of the day its still a car you can drive on the street and could be stretched to tap an 8 at the track.

As far as the converter goes in a TH400 you have a lot of options, but give it a shot, its a little tougher finding the right converter in a big boost car.

Well, it's the same converter as LS1 curts. Awesome drivability for the street and they are already at low 9's with alot heavier car and a lower hp I plan on pushing.
So, we'll see. It's pretty well known the first converter is just for testing.

What hp/tq numbers are you looking/shooting for?

This thing even looks better in person. Awesome job Don. Next time I am up I need a ride :)

Wow! I saw this car when I brought mine for a dyno tune and it was pretty much an empty shell at that point. Progress looks good. She'll make some good power!

LOL now thats funny ... Never had any problems with a yank

sick build. Any details on the turbo?

Looks great Don! looking forward to seeing it in the near future! :secret2:

No problems with my yank either 500+ miles a week as my daily driver , drives like a stock car , and still can drive 200 miles round trip to NED and run 9's with out doing nothing but putting my door bar in .I think I'll keep it ;)

i dn if your talking to me or not in this post but even if i wanted a different converter i couldn't afford one of the higher end makes anyways. I love my Yank. One of my best mods so far if not the best mod.

Cars looking good Don!

I knew one day it woul be sick and beautiful.

Wow looks awesome should do low to mid 8s with the wg spring and some traction good luck :)

Went up today and Don was wrenching on the brakes. Car looks pretty clean from under the lift and im sure it will fly!
Its great you finally get to wrench on your own car Don :D

Was there till 8 tonight. Only about 10 more Saturdays to go. Lol

Looks great..Id love to hear that thing scream. Not bad for a "shop car" :hail: haha

Some rear pics.

Wish I had 2 weeks of free time to finish this.

The chrome and silver pieces look striking against the red! Those are a car fanatic's Christmas colors, man! :)

I myself and a buddy also have the same 3400 Yank in our turbo cars. They work great not to Mention that mighty mouse had the 4l80 version of the same Yank 3400 converter in his turbo car. That worked pretty well for him down to 8.40

Looks not slow.....

427 with 88mm.

Looks awesome man.......

Drool

Beautiful work Don!!!

BTW: The 427 Shawn built for me is running like a champ.

Haven't hurt one of Shawns motors yet.

Some more stuff. Got the brakes done/bled, coolant lines, some fuel system and exhaust done.
