Anything i am missing has not been bought yet ! But coming this winter as i wanna drive it next spring.

P.S. I am wanting to buy the right turbo's for the power but i will run low boost til i get used to the car then yank engine and upgrade correctly. I would prefer around 1000hp when done with engine upgrade but obdviously the engine wont hold it fully right now. Any changes that you guys think will be greatly helpful and thanks.

looking good so far

good lord that BBC just fits nicely in there. if i stray away from being a "street" car, i'm definately going BBC. parts are readily available and it looks like you may have some decent room to mount everything

 

Re: 1998 Mustang GT 468 BBC Turbo Build............Pic Heavy

the pistons are your top priority as they should be. KB's won't put up with detonation so ease the boost up and keep checking tune. As for heads the 781's will take you further than the trans can.


I say built the turbo kit and use this engine for mock up. Only boost it <10psi

as for upgrades to 1000hp
cast crank good for 800 - upgrade
rods 550 - upgrade
pistons - first detonation - upgrade
Consider 1/2 fill on block
4 bolt or billet caps or 2 bolt with studded bottom
Camshaft
rocker arms
pushrods
carburetor
Converter purpose built for your boosted combo

Roll Cage
5 way harness
C clip eliminators
trans ultrabell or at least a scatter shield
driveshaft
drive shaft loops
parachute

just a quick start

I definately agree with all of your statements. The cage i am waiting for black friday cause S&W racecars has free shipping on everything. And i already upgraded rearend to a bolt in 9". And yeah there's plenty of room in the car. The SN95 cars are a bit bigger in the engine bay.

 

Re: 1998 Mustang GT 468 BBC Turbo Build............Pic Heavy

Even with the current motor setup the car will need plenty of added safety features. Build the fuel system, safety once and right. Then work on the engine updates.

 

Re: 1998 Mustang GT 468 BBC Turbo Build............Pic Heavy

Yep.... I finally built a car with this logic and now I can push it as hard as the motor will take. Great peace of mind

 

Re: 1998 Mustang GT 468 BBC Turbo Build............Pic Heavy

Update......... BBC stuff is overrated. Lol

So gonna finish the roller and go with a brand new ground up build with a small block

 

Finally got some time to work on the car.

Ever wonder how to add a few gauges when there is no room ? I found a way on a sn95 with a aftermarket column !.....................................
