The great big block 4th gen swap info thread
#21
Car is running, just been in need of final tuning. Changed a few last minute things around. I keep looking at stuff and not being satisfied with it and changing it up. They also closed my local track so now the closest one is almost 2 hours away. Trying to have it out to an event here next month.

Correct, we are in Tampa. I am actually from Lakeland, which is where the car is. So it's about 2 hours either direction to OSW or Bradenton. The Cash Days event is run at OSW once a month and is a big no prep race. The next one is December 17th so I plan to have it out for that

Sorry guys I haven't worked on it much lately. My daughter was born very prematurely a couple of months ago and we have spent a lot of time at the hospital and getting things settled with her. Car has been sitting for a few months now without being touched much. I hope to have some updates soon

The only fitment issue I have seen is with this customer's combo. He has a tall deck Dart Big M 632 with a Moroso deep front pan. He was still able to make it work by spacing the motor mounts upwards. You can see in these pictures the spacing that needed to be made up

Also I hear these big blocks sit further back towards the firewall. I'm guessing bolting up the T56 would be out of the question?

The engine sits in stock location, so a t-56 would be very do-able (and quite fun)

A little more interesting info here form some changes I have made. The $175 e-bay BBC forward facing turbo headers are a CLOSE but perfect fit. They happen to land just above the frame rails and just below the strut towers. I had trouble finding some that I hoped would fit that weren't $1500. That's a big risk on headers I may have to cut up or modify still. I figured $175 would be a more reasonable gamble, and got lucky. They bolted in with no modification
