Ohh just realized it had a 400.. anyone can build those

Looks like it has some potential by the list of parts.. Better be in the 10's.. once figured out.

Get it on the road.. need a hand.. hollar

julio,your car is runing good knocking on 10's door.

i hope the car will on the street in a month.

julio my compression after head gasket swap was 150 to 160 that seemed high to me for turbo motor.
is that normal?

thanks for offer of help i'm sure going to need some in months to come

 

[Razor]

Thats normal numbers..

Its should run 10s if everything is right.

FYI....get rid of the solid motor mounts... I dont even want to think what they are doing to the side of a stock 4.1 block.

Good Luck

what are the pros and cons of solid motor mount with 4.1

thanks for info

Hi Spencer..........glad your back. 4.1s are not as strong a block as a 3.8 series 109 block. I'm sure that's what Louie is referring to. We'll be seein' you soon.

Spencer, I remember you from the Bradenton event. I was parked near Julio. Congrats on the new purchase. Looking forward to seeing you out at the track.

A lot of guys build 4.1s. Maybe wanted more cubes or what happened to be available.
