Good bye #7.... New build getting ideas

[JohnnyRocket4v]

So I lost #7 today so I'm gathering ideas. I wanna have a grudge car that is consistent. Needs to be street drivin and grip on the street. My plan is cg twin kit with th400. Not sure what to do about bottom end and suspension. I would also like to keep the irs. Not interested in big cams. Would like to make 1000+ hp but be able to dial in different settings, make quick changes and have like a boost by gear type stand alone. Anyway I would love to see any set ups and hear any ideas. I'll be starting my build thread soon! :beer:

Car also has fuel system e85 and makes 700 with a kb 2.6 as it sits. Valve covers never been off

Sorry to hear,pistons will need to be up graded! Keep us posted!

 

[SYMach1]

Sorry to hear that, how did it happen? At the track or making a pull on the street

 

[JohnnyRocket4v]

On the Track.... Wink wink

 

[stangfreak]

sorry to hear about the motor. what setup do you have in mind as far as the motor?

 

[svtshadow]

Entire suspension and tires revamp will suffice!

 

[gabe1530]

sounds like you have a limitless budget?

ok, keeping the irs.

ftbr full rear kit.
pro level half shafts
qa1 double adjustable rear shocks or go full coilovers
k member & a arms of your choice
etc etc....

engine,
go teskid block, oem crank, billet rods, custom pistons. arp 2000 everything, port the heads, oem or ford gt cams (degreed ofcourse), sullivan lower, hpp upper.

you already have the rest picked out.

done.

 

[JohnnyRocket4v]

Not a limitless budget but iv got room and time. Forgot the irs is already built. Also all work minus the tune will be done by me. Anyone using pro efi

 

[JohnnyRocket4v]

And not sure what to do for shortblock. I just want it reliable and able to hold over 1khp I'm thinking mmr shortblock with boss block

 

[svt4me38]

Damn! Sorry to hear that bud
What did you find?

 

[gabe1530]

Okay, read my post again for your short block solution.
I would stay away from the boss block if your shooting for 1k hp.
Refer to Evil Twins thread here as all the reasons not to go boss block are in it

The boss blocks are very nice and have both a lot of good and bad benefits. Imo, they are not worth the trouble.

Go with a High compression 10:1 teksid setup with billet rods, and a stock crank.. Higher compression means less boost to make the power you want.

Boss block will have sealing issues and John Mihovetz's has proved it..

 

[TerminatedGT]

93-98 aluminum block your 03 rods and crank with a slight over boar CAM it it sounds cool www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2DaebvaJ_k&list=UUlWWQ7T-TK6GzBDtvyStWyw

A grudge car is a drag car, is that what you want? If so, the IRS needs to go.

As someone who already has what you want besides the 'drag' portion, I suggest doing lots of research and have a very large budget. For the engine, the stock crank and rods are fine. ARP 2000 everything including cam bolts. Use a teksid or aluminator block and stay away from big bores this and stokers that. You are going to need minimum twin 465's and at least ID13000's or larger for injectors.

I knocked out some liter bikes last night at only 23lbs....with another 7-8lbs left for the harder stuff.

[JohnnyRocket4v]

Yes I have twin 465s and id1300 the car is currently on e85. I say grudge car but the car needs to appear somewhat stock that's the reason for no cage and the irs..

 

[badcobra]

I don't run a cage either, but I don't drag race. If you do, you're really going to need to think about switching. No one can tell you have a solid just looking at it.

Citing a professional drag racer experience as a basis for a street build is not really a good idea. Mihovetz runs 50 psi............we are nowhere near his league. The only issue with a big bore Boss block it the fact your dealing with a thinner land between the bores. I recall Mihovetz making a statements saying that applies to all big bore mod motors not just the boss and from his perspective that is probably an accurate statement. It would be nice to have more than 4 bolts clamping each cylinder

10:1 is what the NA cobra guys run when they pile on a blower and won't make to the 500 hp mark on pump gas. A stock compression Terminators are approaching 600 hp on the same fuel.

 

[badcobra]

I've been beating my car on a weekly basis for almost 2 full seasons now 10:1 compression teksid on e85 and nearly 1000rwhp through an auto. I drive it all the time to work etc and race it hard evenings and weekends. Good to go.

He's talking about 1000rwhp.. You won't do that on pump gas regardless. He can run 10:1 just fine on E85 or race gas and make more power than a lower compression motor..

It's not just JM that has had issues.. I know of 3 other boss block builds (not on forums) that have blown headgasket at 23psi.. It would be very nice to have more than 4 bolts though.. that's for sure!! :beer:
