The car is an '87 Turbo T.
I bought it as a roller this winter. Had to part with my '85 TType of ten years to get it I wanted a high ten second car but things soon got out of control.
Here is what my basic build up consist of:
109 block
girdle
K1 rods
Eagle crank
Wiseco pistons
GN1 ported heads
Champion ported stock intake
95lb injectors
Innovative 70 X-trim turbo
ATR headers
PTE 70mm upper plenum & tb
TH 400 w/brake
9" rearend with spool and 3.50 gears
I have a TON of work to do still, but hope to race the TSM class at BG, Columbus and possibly Norwalk this year.
Here are some pics I took last week and today. I will update this thread as I get stuff done. Wish me luck!
Last week the buildup of the short block began. Unfortunately we had the wrong sized rings:frown: I am bolting it together with the help of Lonnie Diers of Extreme Automatics. Actually he is doing most of the work while I just tighten the bolts down We hope to have it all together next week.
Today I bolted in the 9" rearend housing. I am waiting for the axles to come in from Moser. Also a buddy of mine is building the center section, which should be done this week. Sorry for the messy garage.
Saturday I installed the double pumper and ran the lines to connect it to the fuel filter.
There is a V1 in there! I want to get the correct '87 grill for this car eventually.
That's all I got for now. Stay tuned for more.
