May is coming to fast I have alot of work to do

What are all your plans? How much power you thinkin to get?

Putting in a 347 stroker fuel injected, custom grind cam from Camshaft Innovations, Ported gt40X heads, Edelbrock Super Vic Carb. intake modded for fuel injection, and 90mm Wilson thottle body.Kind of like my buddy's setup, but he does have a better set of heads than me (TFS High Ports) . It ran a 11.19 last year in Billings just on the motor. I'm going to run a 150 or 250 shot of nitrous with that should help me keep up. Also going with a toploader 4-speed and inline shifter from g-force transmisions.
Hoping to get into the low 11's or high 10's maybe.

have fun with that...

I will when its done right now it's like a woman cost to much and a pain in the ass

heck, my wife's my main supporter of my car habit.

Mine wife does a little but kids take the most of it.

either way, make sure your car is streetable...

OMG drooling.. i have a 91 man and ive seen all these parts while shopping for mine.. looks awesome man I'd like to meet up and see her in person.

Thanks,Hopful I'll be in lewistown opening day. Just did some math and might have change some stuff in the combo to make but we'll see. No matter how I add it up (PARTS +TIME = EXPENSIVE). I just pray that someone will buy your guy's track then I can race there.

Josh it will streetable for sure. Well streetable to me .

good then outstanding

That junk looks familiar.

I'll try and get some pics of the heads up.

College is cutting into my hotroding time.
Need to really get to work since billings track is going to be open.

you know what they say about manule trannys dont ya? Automatics win races manules impress high school kids. just joking, but look like you are going to have a stout set up.

if i ran a manual with my set up, id be fixing way more expensive shit than just a transmission... like driveshafts, rearends, axles, putting clutches and gearboxes in it every other weekend, no thanks, i'll "stick" to my powerglide, haha

Update: Going broke fast new trans might have to wait. Just might have to build the old 302 and hope the stock T-5 holds together if it don't I do have 3 of them. Its like every time you have to get something no matter how small it will cost you a hunderd dollars, this sucks. The good news is that if the weather holds out I'll have the engine compartment done and painted by this weekend. First time spraying anything but I figure I can fuck it up as good as the next guy I'd have to pay.Here are some pics of my redneck paint booth.



Not to bad for a hillbilly

Got her painted and putting stuff back together. Hope I remember where everything goes and where it is at!!!!






Here is so extra wire cut out of the car that AJ said wasn't needed.



It's coming along but the first race in Lewistown is the begining of June and I haven't even started on the motor. It's going to be tight.

It's coming along very nicely! And don't worry, there's always the second Lewistown in September I didn't have my car ready in time for the first one last year.

Glad I mached up the motor Headers won't work with oil pan, Intake and heads need to be milled to fit right and headers need to be grinded on to clear head bolts. hopfully have better luck on the second mach up. wiring is almost done so the dash can go back in. why do we do this to ourselves????????





PROBLEM AREAS





Everything in green has to be milled off





Should have these things sovled by next week. That's if thing go right. HA HA HA

good work man!!!!! keep it up, should be one bad ass car when done.

Thanks rob. might be done at the end of may.

My time to get this car done went to hell in a hand basket. Haven't had time to do shit but I did get the short block done just waiting on the heads.





Also got the dash and wiring finished up



Now I am going to work on puting in the battle boxes and roll bar in so that should take another month or two HA HA HA. Hopfully not.

Awsome man! Looks good! You still have that trick flow intake laying around?

No got rid of it a couple of months ago.

barney ur alive !!!!

did you use a valley girdle?

No didn't use a valley girdle, but it is a 70 block so it is a little stonger than a 5.0 block. Rob how is your stuff coming along.
Ya Sammy I'm still kickin just been trying to do 500 things at once, working on the house,car, kids out for the summer and looking for a job. You car is looking good how is the t-top project do you want to send it my way.

some more pics of suspension, new coil and home made nitous solenoid brackets











hopfully get the heads next week and have some pics of the engine in the car

More pics of mock up off nitrous and lines and glove box fuse and relay panel









Now I just have to what for more parts and finish up the under hood wiring, then it's on to the rearend. Will it ever end

Wow looks great, very nice attention to detail. I can't wait to see how it ends up.

dam barney lookin good my friend ,

the NX set up on that victor intake is pretty sick

Want it done right do it your self. Not your average screw in stud conversion. No one in town wanted to do it. Well people who I would trust any ways.

Just hope my measurements are right. Will know next week.

So this must be Adam Johnson's old car that used to have a 460 in it back in the mid 90's

Wow.

Yes it is AJ's old car.

Well it's pretty cool to see how it's going. keep up the good work man.

I'm originally from Great Falls moved down here to Billings about ten years ago after I got out of school. Adam and I used to work together back when he had just put the 460 in it. I vividly remember helping out with the temporary power steering pump install. Had to use a craftsman socket for a spacer. lol And the temporary fix was just a little longer than temporary. lol

Good to start seeing some of the Great falls crowd... wonder if I'll recognize anyone else?

Ya that socket was on there till he pulled out that big block. HA HA. His 91 LX mustang NA 347 is running pretty close to the 10's (11.19 with broke rearend) He made some more changes to it this summer so next year it should be well into the 10's on just the motor for sure.

Just when we think we are on a roll to get this thing going we get shut down. The only thing that went right with the heads is the rocker geometry. So all the machine work was right on the money.

The first thing that is wrong is the rockers are really 1.7 ratio not 1.6 they are labeled as. Running such a close coil bind distance ".060" the installed hight of the springs need redone. Not that big of a deal. But we did find a broken rocker. So nothing can get done without replacements. Hopefully Scorpion will replace the whole set.

Guild plates are also wrong and need to be widened.

A little more time and the valve train geometry will be PERFECT.

Ur gonna need a neck brace
