budget 90 gt

[waypastcrazy]

well i started on this to be a car to sale about a year ago and it has become a project that i like. picked car up at a good deal on some swapping around with my crazy brother.it was all stock except a few small things like it had subframe connectors and 373 gears. well heads were off engine when i got it and ecm and maf was gone. I also almost sold shortblock for 150. whew glad i did not do that!well I started with freshening up shortblock which was in good shape and was balanced.And luck would have it that a good friend of mine needed help on his 95 cobra and decided to give me a set of 72 cast iron heads that were cnc ported with bigger valves and dual springs with a set of 1.6 crane roller rocks.So it got started.Then I needed a cam and my brother called one day and said he found a crane powermax 2040 for 45 bucks so I bought it. then came across a trade on a 650 dp. so all and all the car is running well and I like it. it now has autometer 5 tach, 2 5/8 gauges ,torker 2 intake, underdrives,fordmotorsport wires,hei dizzy, headmen midlength headers, with h pipe and flows. so I guess it has became my project because I cant seem to stop tuning and modifying it. here is some pics

[waypastcrazy]

here is my latest carb mod. Note that I am still on a small budget with this car.This mod seems like it pepped it up some thx

[yellowSVT]

i figured you wasnt going to sell if you kept it long. enjoy it nice ride!

country

[SlowJoe]

Man that thing has came along ways since i had it! U have not said anything about the boom box u put in it. Again thanks to your bro. I can't wait to see it run now with some tires on it. O wait i mean drive it! Lol yea it does need the corbra r hood on it.

[waypastcrazy]

my latest upgrades are a compucar wet kit,steeda double adjustable uppers and solid lowers with moroso drag launch springs will post some new pics later.next mod will be tubular k, manual rack and moroso front springs

[waypastcrazy]

after examaning my old suspension parts and observing the dents in the driveshaft tunnel I have come to a conclusion of what the heck was I thinking. I now know when I was launching the car the driveshaft against the bottom of the car had to be acting like a break when it was in a bind.That fixed now with a good air fuel and correct bottle pressure my ets should improve a great deal.But before I return to track I think it would be in my best interest to install the driveshaft loop that has been laying in the shop for over a year. and maybe start thinking a little more on the saftey end before trying to add more power.

Get that "squat" problem remedied. It should not squat down so far that it beats up the tunnel. Check pinion angle during suspension articulation.

And yes, put the DS loop in.

fixed that this weekend with control arms and drag springs and set pinion angle look at my picks in previous post thx

[qkjuicedpony]

what did you set the pinion angle at?

[waypastcrazy]

what did you set the pinion angle at?

I set it at -2 down

[qkjuicedpony]

Put it at -3 down:D

[waypastcrazy]

Put it at -3 down:D

hay do not just say -3 down you have to remember i am not smartest cookie on the block explain in details so i can visualize exactly why and understand why -3. would spring rate and bushing type not be a factor in doing this thx

[qkjuicedpony]

well yeah...what bushings do you have in the housing and in the control arms?

[waypastcrazy]

well yeah...what bushings do you have in the housing and in the control arms?

the red poly bushings

[qkjuicedpony]

Leave it where it is then and get to the track.

[waypastcrazy]

Leave it where it is then and get to the track.

do you think that will work or have to t&t it.

[qkjuicedpony]

Try it where it is and see what happens

[SlowJoe]

just got it back to going after takeing top end down and checking things out. its back up and running well!

[coupe]

You take that pic in a movie theater? :poke:

congrats man. :chug:

[SlowJoe]

no it was took with a cell phone

[waypastcrazy]

Thinking about going auto trans.would like opinions on how this may or may not change my track performance.would it slow my 60s down,mile pr hour ets etc,etc, thx in advance for opinions

[coupe]

Depends on the automatic. A crisp shifting auto with the right converter will probably show improvements everywhere on the track.

A sloppy trans, or the wrong converter, and you'll most likely see lower mph, sluggish 60', and the ET will suffer.

[coupe]

PTC knows their stuff. They use mostly TCI parts in their transmissions and their converters are really nice. Not to mention they are good ol' Alabama Folks! :nice:

ok everyone since joe let the cat out of the bag!I have decided to big block the gt. I have been buying,trading ,begging and borrowing parts for this swap for 2 years or so. I have a made up mind to push this through to a finished project.it will not be to crazy of a build just a mild mannered streetable motor.This is what I have so far 429 3.59 stroke big block with a xe274h cam 562 INT 564 EXH 274 286 dur cam,flat top pistons, aluminum heads, stealth intake,march alum pulleys,hei dizzy,have not decided on carb,1.7 rockers, hooker headers,I will post up picks as I go of the suspension and mods to install it. maybe I will not be disapointed in it.IF it does not perform n/a I will spray the crap out of it. all opinions and advice is welcome.I am still doing this on a budget.so alot of parts are used or new bought from someone no longer needing them or traded for.I would like to have a big block forum here. I know there are other big block guys out there. yes I know there are other sites for big blocks but this is my home website that I like to hang out on.I love the people here. I feel at home.On other sites I feel like I am a pion because I dont have a rep or some big money invested in my car but here on this site it is all about the passion not how much money you have spent or how smart you are thx guys.

[coupe]

...but here on this site it is all about the passion not how much money you have spent or how smart you are thx guys.

That's what it's about. And don't be surprised if that car is faster than you plan. I would ditch the towing cam (:D) and install something a little bigger...you have nice cylinder heads.

Go ahead and have a nitrous plate on there, because it will love it...should run some easy 10's short-shifting.

[SlowJoe]

yea it would be nice to have a 385 series place here.

Turn it down. Yea joe wants me to do a roller but I have to keep on a budget first things first maybe it will work out.it will definately have plate on it I am hooked on the juice!

[SlowJoe]

it will a tq monster!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Italian LX]

Good to hear your project is coming along well. I know all about saving up parts for a build -- I think I spent about two years buying parts for my 418W build. I had all kinds of crap piled up in my living room and other places in my house. LOL

. . . yes I know there are other sites for big blocks but this is my home website that I like to hang out on.I love the people here. I feel at home.On other sites I feel like I am a pion because I dont have a rep or some big money invested in my car but here on this site it is all about the passion not how much money you have spent or how smart you are thx guys.
That means a lot to all of us. We're glad we can be helpful and make people feel welcome.

Transmission? Brandon had a C6 for sale here not long ago. That would be a good budget trans to at least start with...

its ready!! worked all day sat on the carb! i have never pulled a carb off so much and changed jets,squirters, and pump cams in my life!! but i did learn alot.
i got the cruise and idle set at around 14.2-15.0 on AFR. and wide open throttle is 12.5-12.8. i have a lean tip in in 3rd at 3000 rpm where we are testing the AFR. i really need the aux box and a TPS on the carb and a few other sensors would not hurt. well until next time.

Good job!glad you took time to tune on the carb and not just throw it on and go.I believe you are right a little more aggressive pump cam on the secondaries and a mab change will do it. Lol. Chitty chitty bang bang. Lmao!

making a little progress

[SlowJoe]

:metal:

[waypastcrazy]

Had to deck block .040.The older style trw pistons are designed for 69 and 70 short deck 351 blocks. This is a 84 block. trw usually sit .015 to .020 in the hole. so using the older style pistons in the taller newer style block put it .041 in the hole. I was going for a .040 quench and the gasket thickness was .039. I now have the .040 quench.with the cam intake closing at 61 abdc gives it a 7.98 dynamic compression which should run on most pump gas.should be a good all around driver and still be fun when the hammer is dropped.no exotic parts here just good ole ford iron on a budget.

[waypastcrazy]

made litte more progress.still lots to do.

[jonosranger]

Get it running! i wanna ride in it!

[waypastcrazy]

Total cost so far 1200

[SlowJoe]

:metal:

[waypastcrazy]

saved a lot of money by buying threaded rod and studding the intake and water pump total cost with nuts and washers 10 bucks

[waypastcrazy]

Will be doing a duraspark timing recurve tomorrow.I will try to document the procedure so some that have asked can see it done.pretty simple.Will probably put it in the 5.0 tech section.

DIZZY write up is in the faq and submission forum.just done a quicky but the general idea is there.lol

Can't wait to see the results!

[waypastcrazy]

Prob will not get any.The owner is coming to pick it up tuesday and word thru the grapevine says he is on a wild spree.if so it will be a mangled mess soon.
Definately not a car to disrespect.Thats why i posted.I do not expect it to see any track time.

[QWKSNKE]

I thought you were building this car for yourself?

[waypastcrazy]

Lol nope.Freebie guess i built it for the experience.lmdao.

[waypastcrazy]

Long story.

[SlowJoe]

bet it makes you sick knowing where its going! i just pray he dont get killed

[waypastcrazy]

In all honesty it was a simple rebuild with a few mild parts
A little stouter than i anticipated.

[waypastcrazy]

Little update.I bought it back so maybe some time slips as soon as i get a day off to make some passes.
We will get to see what $1200 build is capable of with no fancy parts just matched to the combo:snatch:

[SlowJoe]

Going to be the battle of the windsors

Then i bought car back for 1800 and received a blaupunkt stereo,exhaust,msd and carb to boot.
So all in all i actually made $$$ by buying it back.:chug:

[rtusnake]

Alot of car swapping going on up that way :jester:

[waypastcrazy]

Lol yea they all come through the house for some reason.Guess i am the project saver.lmao

[waypastcrazy]

Installed some ud pulleys.
Dam this thing is slow.May have to do another engine swap.lol

[SlowJoe]

o really????????

[waypastcrazy]

Made a few changes.changed the cam and set dcr from 7.9 to 8.89.
Cam is 4 degrees advanced.cranking compression went from 162 psi to 184.5 psi.changed from dual plane intake to a single plane.just playing around basically decided to set it up to handle a little more juice.All parts that were changed were basically traded for parts only expense was gaskets and time. Will be firing it up this saturday and maybe get a few videos.And a little tnt now that I am not working every weekend.:banana:

[waypastcrazy]

The valve timing overlap and me unshrouding the exhaust valve is creating one hell off a supercharge suction.
Meaning the exhaust flowing out is sucking the intake charge in when both valves r open at the same time.

Thats why i emphasized on exhaust and shaped it the direction i did.
The worst dead spot on an engine is when the intake valve first opens it takes a sec to get the air moving again.
Thats y the suction of the exhaust exiting helps so much.
It kinda like jump starting the intake flow.
To cut down on reverb which is exhaust tryn to push into the intake i curved and unshrouded on the far side of exhaust valve.
This creates an effect that makes the engine run as if the heads were better flowing than what the flow bench showed.

I also closed intake valve earlier on compression stroke to give me a longer stroke of compression which gives me more air/fuel being compressed.
Causing the engine to respond as if it had a longer stroke than it does.which it is creating a longer actual compression stroke or dcr.
These couple things together
Makes this int.248@050
Exh.256@050 and single plane intake act as if it has a torque cam in it and still runs like a high dur cam once rpms go up.
Let me emphasize that my approach here is for naturally aspirated with some spray and decent street manners.
I will try to post up some drawings to try and show some of this.
But it will be a few days when I have time.
There were other things also like gasket matching
balancing,tightenig quench etc..but i just felt like sharing
this.for some reason.

I am by no means an expert but i do try to keep learning and applying things that work.I like nice parts too.
But sometimes they are not in the budget and I have to make what I have work the best i can.

I am not trying to confuse anyone
Just explain some of my purpose and theory here.
Also show that a strong running engine is not all about buying and bolting on parts.There needs to be a thought out plan of assembling the parts and doing the math to get the most out of what you do have.
By all means add,debate or criticize anything i have shared here.
I was kind of skeptical bout sharing it but what the hell you all already know I am crazy.lol
Hope this helps. Clyde

Anyone running a fox aeromotive tank?Any feed back will be appreciated.
I am very much considering purchasing one.Thx Clyde

[SlowJoe]

:eric:

[BLOWN95GT]

Why not drop the factory tank and weld in a sump? I thought this was a budget car.

[waypastcrazy]

#1.It is in the budget.
#2.I want my pumps and lines tucked away nice n neatly hidden.
#3.I am entertaining the idea of my A1000 pump being a little less annoying tucked away in its own little compartment.
#4.I think the baffling in the tank would be A benefit.
I am entertaining ideas or a different setup.
Maybe someone will chime in with some pics.

[rtusnake]

I've seen the Aeromotive tank in a sn95 car. They are very nice and clean

Better late than never.
I checked it on a milodon pan and pickup tube.1/4" and milodon puts a 1/4" tang on bottom of pickup so screen can not suction to oil pan bottom.

MM's stuff is flat out awesome. I have a full "maximum grip" package on the GT. Rides like a race car, but it handles better than I thought was even possible for a Mustang. I don't know much about their stuff in a drag racing setup, but the torque arm seems like it would be great for drag racing. My car has WAY more traction off the line than it did with the stock 4 link.
