600 HP N/A Carburated Ford 6.2 SOHC Foxbody Notch Build - High 9's Or Bust!!
- Thread starter SmokeGreyHatch
- Start date
Thanks, Bob. Ordered the 3.55's today. Hopefully the 3rd will be the day for shakedowns. Car goes into the header guy for collector extensions next week. He's also putting in the anti-roll bar. Then alignment, scaling and pinion angle. Should be set by then.
Thanks bro.
Thanks man, it's definitely interesting breaking the slicks loose at 85 mph. lol
Awesome! I will plan on being there! Hopefully I will have my skinny's by then.
Can't wait to see track results, then forged 427" rotator!

Congrats SmokeGreyHatch!
I remember drooling over the old 427 SOHC Ford decades ago in a '60 Falcon. Now I have something new to drool over. Roush 358 engines on Ebay caught my eye but can't throw down that much coin at one time.
Congrats again!

do you know a place in AZ where I can buy a jacket and helmet in person? I need them and a seat belt before I can hit the track
Loper's is the only place I can think of. They should have it all. Or just order from Summit and it comes next-day from Sparks.
Loper's Performance - Phoenix AZ 85014 | 602-264-5288
Thanks!
you run it?
Not yet, haven't had time to work on it. Just got my 12-200 front springs and need to install the 3.55's yet. Hopefully soon.
Not to Jack the thread but I've been thinking about this for a while and would like to get some of the knowledge that you guys have acquired in your experiences. I have been trying to find info on the 6.2 but can't find much. The guy a few pages back said he had a 2012 by and a 6.2. Not sure if he's the same guy or not I saw a forum about a guy that was doing that swap and I was disappointed to see he wasn't going to finish it. Anyways to get to the point
I have a 2005 gt that I've been thinking about swapping to the 6.2. How hard will it be? Will it be fairly simple with motor mounts ect? The biggest thing that scares me is the wiring but it sounds like 05-10 is the wiring I would want. How direct is it? I was thinking about buying a wrecked truck from an auction so I'd have all wiring and hookups. Any advice? If I could give someone a call at some point to pick your brain that would be awesome.

So I took the blower off; too many items on the edge (short block, tranny, clutch, out of fuel pump at 6600, etc). Car was just more fun and usable on the street NA. Car is geared perfectly for 133 mph at a 7k limit which is what it should go with a little better air and some carb and timing tweaks. Made some good shakedown runs NA last night with a new Pro-Systems 840 carb. Had 28 degrees of timing and pump gas last night and drove it to the track and home. Race weight was 2909 with me in it and a full tank of fuel. Made 7 passes all in the 10's with a best of a 10.54 at 131.5 MPH on a trash 1.48 60'. I'm very confident it'll reach 9.90's in the next few months. My buddy got a few vids but I have to get them and upload later on.

Here is a vid of one of the passes. Working on getting the others up. Believe this was a 10.55 at 130.5 mph pass

Think it spun on this pass, might have been the 10.81 pass

Those last runs were with the blower? What's the race weight you think ?
