Look like you guys are gonna have another beast. Any specs yet? What motor, turbo, and drive train setup are you going with?

 

[1killerEVO]

That thing is going to be bad ass. Also interested in the setup?

 

[Paintballaa5]

Would love to see the look on some redneck's face when he see's that in there!

 

[yellowrs]

The motor/turbo setup will be the one out of the red rocket, 80mm Borgwaner,aluminum rod/wiseco hd motor on import. We will be using a power glide for a tranny, ford 8.8 for the rear end with stock style suspension.

 

[Nolo]

love it cant wait to see it finished

 

[Killa_dsm]

Sick, definitely gonna keep an eye on your build progress. If its anything like the red rocket this thing is gonna be a beast!

 

[92GSXtacy]

Nice to see some pics finally! Gonna be wicked! GL!

I've been hearing rumblings about this car for a little while now. Now that it's on here, I think it's a kick ass build and it makes sense. The driveline is WAY cheaper, and MUCH less of a weak link for the amount of power you make. Oh, and plus it'll be fun as hell to drive!

 

[kp116]

Looking good jesse! I think someday I will build a notch but it will probably be a turbo lsx of some sort.

 

[yellowrs]

I have a few pics of the progress but first I got to thank all the people that are stepping up and helping us with this car.

Wiseco pistons
Shearer fabrication
Double a performance
Bradco transmission and conveters

And our own fabricator Aarron Gregory for building this bad ass exhaust manifold for me.

Just sick guys....header is art for sure!

 

[crash89]

That looks awesome!! Curious though why you went with the turbo configured like that instead of say a forward facing set up?

We will duct the inlet to the front but to do a forward facing the manifold would be extremely long and waste alot of space.

 

[richard33]

looks nice! Is there enough room for a downpipe?

My grandfather is an oldschool muscle car guy.
Who just bought a 2006 evo =P

Good to see the two merge from time to time
Looks awesome!

Really cool project, most of my driving years i have always thought that an SVO mustang would be my favorite car to own. Now days i'm alittle spoild by the interioramenities of the DSM, as well as the "cockpit" style wrap around dash and center console. (as wella s now being AWD)

but i still can't help but bedrawn to fox body projects after owning my 89 LX 5.0 for so long.

The one thing tha i'm getting really curiouse about these days is what the benefit is to having the turboplaced the way you ar doin it. I would think that being further and further awa from the head and valve faces you would lose exhaust pressure and responsiveness of spool putting it that far out, but more-so i can't helpbut think that the manifold is going to be very subject to cracking under stress, weight and vibration under running conditions.. can you shed any light on this or explain what prompted you to put the thing so far away from the head???
love it either way, can't wait to see the thing get rolling under it's own power

The manifold is built from schedule 10 which is thick so there will be no worrys about it cracking. Even though the distance from the head is far the actual length of the pipe isn't much longer then a normal top mount by the time it drops down then comes back up.

Can't wait to see it out this year!

 

[yellowrs]

New fiber glass dash and steering column.

Very nice work, interested to see where it goes!

Out the fender I bet

 

[1qkfwd]

I'm loving it!!! Car looks like one a local guy used to own. What type of goodies do you plan on stuffing in that 8.8?

 

[boosted240]

That manifold is SICK. Cant wait to see this thing get done. Gonna be a monster for sure
