Way cool project. But are you worried about the log cracking? Because it looks to me like it is flux core mig welded and I know that lots of people complain about diff manufacturers turbo logs cracking. Keep up the good work!

It won't crack. It is MIG welded with 316 SS wire and w/gas. It is also 1/8" thick 304 SS tube and elbows.

Hello
How do you like going from a blower car to a turbo.... Kinda Like night and day isn't it! When the boost is there its there. Great project turned out really nice.
Take it easy.

Thanks for the compliment Brad. It is a night and day difference. We had nothing but problems with the SOHC motor and then the vortech blew up when we tried to lean on it. Best ever before the swap was a 13.0 and the way it feels right now it is much quicker. We are hoping to sort out the QA1 k member fiasco so we can dyno it then get to the track.

still say you should just make a kit... with some decent directions since i'm not a wiring wizard.. lol

same basic setup (ie: cam, boost levels, log etc) except with a 5.3 T70 in a 4300lbs truck went 11.9 @ 121 at NED. We are hoping to run in the low 11's with this rig.

we fixed the QA1 K member camber issue by installing older (91GT) mustang lower control arms that are 1" narrower. Brought the camber right in where it should be.

Nice build!!! I really like the sn195s with the LSx implants, especially when there turbocharged!!! Thanks for sharing....

What size fuel feed line did you use? What size injectors and how much power did it make?

jfg455

fuel lines are 3/8" feed and a 5/16" return. The owner didnt want to upgrade from the 42# injectors he had in the old 4.6 supercharged so we have it set at only 8psi of boost. Due to the fact that the injectors are too small and there isnt any meth on it yet we havent taken it to the dyno or track yet. the owner is happy that it is faster than the old 4.6 SOHC. We are trying to talk him into upgrading the fuel system so we can lean on it.

I am really interested in the pictures you have of the motor mounts. I am doing a swap into a 1998 mustang GT, engine is from a 2000 silverado truck.

Do I have to swap to a LS1 oilpan and pickup?

Is there mounts I can buy to bolt the LSx engine straight into the mustang?

thats sweet, i always like the look of the mustang, just hated the performance, looks as if you solved that problem! nice work indeed!

We used a QA1 K member for a 4.6 ford but it turned out to be a pain in the ***. Not for the mounts but for the A Arms. they dont tell you that if you use their K member that it widens the track 2" and you have to swap to older a arms. All we did was cut off the motor mount and reattach it in the right spot for the 6.0L. AJE and a couple of other people make a K member that has LSX mounts on it already. You will have to use am=n F body oil pan due to the fact that the steering rack will hit the front of the truck pan.
