Default New build for 2015

I thought I would share what I'm building for this year.

Some of you may remember my old single turbo bronze car from PIR


Been working hard on the below car the last two months. Just finished the suspension tonight and got the intercooler in it today. Suspension is full coil over conversion from Ridetech. Very happy with their quality. I still have the fuel side to install and the EFI. The back end is still a tad high as it has a 30" tall tire on it that will be coming off the car to be replaced with 275/60 Mickey. If anybody wants some 295/65's, just let me know I still may put a 1" lower spring in the back. This is not a track only car, I will be driving the **** out of it. After buying it, I yarded the manual steering out of it and put in a newer jeep power steering box to make it a little nicer to drive.

For the car itself, I did not build it and purchased it last July out of Las Vegas. It is a factory SS car that had a full rotisserie done on it about 10 years ago and had a Shafiroff 540 in it. That was sold off within a few weeks of getting the car for the purpose of doing the below conversion

Thanks for looking,
Corey

Thanks guys.

ET goals are dependent on the fuel I'll end up running. If I stick with my original plan on E85, I'd expect low 9's without struggling.

I rolled the dice on a used long block that ended up being a screwed up deal. Worked out the money side and moved forward. It's a stock crank LQ9 with Eagle rods and Diamond pistons, AFR 230 heads, and a decent size turbo cam. The turbos are Borg Warner 66mm using flipped truck manifolds.

There are far more proven single LS car out there and only a handful of twin S366 cars, but so far what I've seen is pretty promising for power. My main reason for doing twins is to easily package 3" exhaust out the back.

Corey

Making some headway. Intercooler piping done, most of the intake and fuel lines complete. I still have to run my -10 fuel line and decided to just do a fuel cell. Hope to start getting the wiring harness in next weekend. Never ending small stuff to do etc.....

Yes, just ordered the harness extensions tonight. Sensors are a killer too as I had to get the fuel pressure and new oil pressure sensor.

Hey Cory,
very nice cars man.
I'm doing a carb'd L-33 with Texas Speed heads and bunch of goodies to go into my 66 Malibu.



This is the engine:



That pan will be swapped out before install.

My end goal is to build a single turbo LS engine for it.
I have an LQ4 short block, 317 heads, and a Victor Jr. carb only intake.

I'm near Spokane FWIW.

Thank you Sir,
Stu

Default Jeep Power Steering

What year/model power steering box did you use.

I'm just beginning to collect parts for a LS2 into a 65 El Camino.

Thanks

Stu, nice build. The setup you're doing will look super clean. Please do share as you progress.

Skylark, the box to use is 92-98 Grand Cherokee box. It's a direct bolt in. If you currently have power steering, your pitman arm will work. The rag joint is different. You can get them from lee-powersteering.com
For lines, I put AN fittings on my power steering pump and box and just made my own -6 line with AN fittings. Solves any issue trying to find an odd ball power steering line. Detroit Speed sells the fittings. I'd be happy to share photos if needed.

Thanks,
Corey

So did you sell the other 67' ?

I remember watching your "fireball" video on youtube years ago...

I will have to come over and run with you and Ron at PIR this summer

haha, I still show the fireball video today.

Yes, I sold it at the end of 2009....big mistake.

My real mistake was going out to the track last June and watch Ron, and in doing so, another buddy was tuning on his BBC turbo Camaro. The bug bit me again, real hard. I called the buyers of my car to try and buy it back, and would have paid what ever. It didn't work out, so I decided to build a better one

There are quite a few turbo cars running around here now, so coming down to play would be great fun.

The only sadness is that is let loose about the 1100ft mark and wasn't a full pass. No threads on YB for this build.
