We got the car as a bone stock 92 GT with a 5.0 5speed in it. Customer wanted a 800+ car with a chassis and suspension to handle it. When we started the cage that's in it would have supported down to 7.50's but since we began the rules have changed and now it's only good to 8.50's. Its intent was to be a fast track car that could be driven on the street as well. So, this is what we came up with. It's a Dart Iron Eagle 4.125 bore 9.5" deck block with a Probe 427 stroker kit with H beam rods and forged steel crank, dished pistons. It has a custom grind solid roller camshaft with matching roller lifters. Trick flow R heads ported by me, with 1/2" ARP studs holding them, and TFS 7/16 1.6 ratio rr with a Probe stud girdle keeping them straight. It has a TFS R box intake setup with an MSD pro billet distributor as well. It has Kooks stainless steel headers, 2" primary and 3.5" collectors. The blower is an F1R procharger, with a small pulley for around 10 pounds of boost on that huge engine. It has a 3 row sheetmetal intercooler. The injectors are small at 60's, but the original plan was to start off with 600 hp and gradually turn up the whick until it reached the 800+ hp goal. All this is going to go through a TKO 600, mcleod scattershield, and a spec clutch that is tbd. The rear end is an 8.8 that is welded, has a swarr bar, 33 spline gun drilled and star flanged axles, and a spool with 3.73 gears. The wheels and tires are greg weld racing wheels with 28X10.5X15 rear MT's and MT front runners too. Brakes are aerospace all around with drag race brakes on the rear and front single piston floaters to keep the wheels tucked in under the fender and they have the vented front rotor option for street driving.
The cage is all chrome moly and custom bent by Bill at BMF fab. It has subframe connectors, the entire rear torque boxes are welded up and have battle boxes in them too. Kirkey seats, autometer gauges, etc for the interior including memory single channel tach.
It has UPR front complete kmember and suspension kit and complete ProSeries rear suspension with anti roll bar. Fuel system is a BBRC tank with a Weldon pump and aeromotive regulator, all ss lines from tank to engine. DPM fuel rails and EGR delete plate, and accufab 75mm throttle body. I think that just about covers it, but it's a hell of a ride. Plans are to finish it up, got to get a cooling system figured out, replace that godawful rear bumper cover, and get the car painted. I want to break it in on the dyno without the blower hooked up, and then put the belt on and make some tuning pulls with it.
thanks for reading...
