Didnt do a build page on the first build, 302, (168,000 mile stock block, f-cam, tw 170 heads, tyhpoon intake, pro products 70mm tb,42#ers, in tank 255 walbro, boost brothers hot side and intercooler, custom cold side, 3:55 rears, cobra spec t-5, here are some pics of this build, project only lasted 400 miles over 7 months, ran some high 11's at 122 with a crapy 5-speed, stock rear suspension spinning thru 1st and 2nd, 2.10 short times.

 

this is my beater

 

What died on it? Clean looking car though

 

had several head gasket issues, warped the deck,(.007), this was at 15#'s, blew several sets of 9333pt1's, and a set of mls,this build was a year ago, will be adding more pics of the old build, the new build is a 357, turbonetics 82mm midframe, will be posting new engine and acomidating work along the way

 

heres what happened to the boost brothers turbo when it spiked to 24#'s#ad

 

whoops , now THERES youre problem right there
guess it balooned under pressure

 

looks like some one stuck a stick of tnt in there...

 

when the bb turbo blew, bought a mpt70 used on the forumn, good turbo for the money (used 400.00 shipped) ended turbo problems, tuned at 15-17#'s, pms tuned by the way,blew 4 sets of head gaskets with 12.0 a/f and 18* timing, warped the deck around .008, this was measured after blowing first set, didnt wanna pull motor and deck it, tried 9333pt1 sprayed heavy coat of coppercoat, held at 6#'s, didnt hold at 12#,s, so tore it down, started building the windsor, picked up the block from machine shop, 945.00 ooooouch!, but this included 200.00 for balancing my rotating assembly, machining include: bore block, cam bearings, line bore, brass freeze plugs, hot tank, deck block to .005 in the hole with my rod and piston combo, and pressed the pistons on the rods, straighten and grind crank, .010 mains, .020 on rods, chamfered rod and main oil holes, and .093 radius grind while turning crank, will be posting pics of new 357 on the stand

 

my jaw drops everytime i get something from the machine shop.... i feel your pain

 

About time Brad. Don't tell anyone about the 82mm Turbonetics you are putting on it... WHoops just did

 

looking good man i bet it ran like shit when the turbo blew jk

 

yeah, with mass air it barely made it home, about 2 miles

 

go ahead and post a pic of it if you get the time thanks to Dan, I was able to get a turbonetics mid frame 82mm, ceramic ball bearing, 75mm exhaust wheel, this is the biggest t-4 flanged turbo they offer

 

here is a run down on the heads, tw 170's, heads were sent to tea, cnc profile on exhaust(tw205 program) they also cnc'd the combustion chambers, this put the chambers at 64cc, this is what was done to them when i bought them used (around 40 passes)they were fine on the little 302, but for the 357 I went to work on them, ported the intake runners from a felpro1250 to felpro1262, this took 30 plus hours, cut a little more on exhaust side and polished up, then had .018 cut from them to bring cc back down to 61, with .005 in the hole, .040 mls, 15.9cc probe dish, should be right at 9.5 to 1, here's some pics
