my motor setup has been through a few changes. hehehe
stock 302 - this is the motor the day i brought the car home. pretty much stock except for the cold air intake. | |
vortech supercharger - this setup was with a vortech blower pushing 16 psi, afm boost pipe, holley systemax intake, and miscellaneous other goodies. | |
turbonetics turbo with EFI - this setup was with the stock 302 and a 62mm turbonetics turbocharger. she was still fuel injected with all the ignition parts up where the battery used to be. | |
turbonetics turbo with carb - this setup was still with a 62mm turbonetics turbocharger. i removed the fuel injection and put a carb on her and relocated the ignition parts as well as hid all the wiring. | |
new motor and 70mm turbo - with this setup she has a 363 cubic inch dart block and a 70mm master power turbo. we custom ordered the dart shortblock and we fabricated the turbo kit ourselves. we also welded up all the holes in the engine bay panels and repainted the compartment. | |
new turbo kit with 80mm turbo - this is her current (and final?) setup. the 70mm turbo was simply too small for the bigger cubes so we had to upgrade. we ended up with a Borg Warner S480 80mm turbo. it was so much bigger that we had to refab parts of my headers and crossover pipes and fab a new down pipe. we also relocated the blow off valve to the driver side as well as giving the BOV its own exhaust pipe to vent into the atmosphere. | |
carburetor - i went with CSU for the carb and EV for the carb hat. the carburetor is a holley 4150 hp body (750 cfm). | |
Exhaust
i am running a custom fabricated 3.5 inch exhaust. this is the exhaust coming down from the turbo down pipe. | |
the length of the 3.5" pipe. the pipe extends to just before the rear axle and then dumps. | |
the Dynatech split-flow muffler and the dump. the muffler is a straight-thru muffler. |
Engine Goodies
the Dart block | |
the Weiand carb intake, TFS track heat heads with the TFS 1.6 roller rockers and TFS chromemoly pushrods. the heads have a 61cc combustion chamber and a 170cc/66cc intake/exhaust runners with 2.02/1.6 intake/exhaust valves. also in this pic is the Romac balancer, the Milodon 7 qt oil pan, and my backwards BBK headers. | |
