Very nice, good to see some more blowthru builds coming along. Although I'm going the belt driven route, I love seeing these turbo builds, even anything happens to the vortech a turbo will be in order.

Are you going to modify your own carb, or going with CSU? Clean looking car!

 

Re: 85 GT stock block blow thru build

At first I was thinking about doing the carb myself, but I'll prob take the easy way and get one from CSU. Engine should be in the car by next week and I can get to work on the TURBO STUFF,finally More to come...

 

Re: 85 GT stock block blow thru build

Dont forget while you have your carb at CSU to have them make it purdy for ya by doing some powder-coating.

The motor is sitting 1 1/2" to the pass side. Looks F-D' up,gonna do some mods to the mounts to move it over some.

 

Re: 85 GT stock block blow thru build

Re: 85 GT stock block blow thru build

Thanks, Mike. It was my 1st new car.Has 62'000 miles on it.Been in a garage all but about the first 4yrs,under a cover then.

 

Re: 85 GT stock block blow thru build

Looking good!
Call if you need a hand. I'll drive the Bird over and give you a motivational ride.

 

Re: 85 GT stock block blow thru build

I've heard of people running into that problem. Are those UPR mounts or the ones they sell on ebay?

 

Re: 85 GT stock block blow thru build

what alternator mount are you running

 

Re: 85 GT stock block blow thru build

The mounts came from Holcomb,HPMs or something like that,can't remember.I shot my mouth off too soon...Did some tweek'in and stuff, put the mounts in the rear set of holes on the k-member and now it's fine.The motor is still offset but it's straight front to back.

The alt mount is a long stud and some dowl for spacers up top and a lower smog pump bracket on the bottom.I can get a pic if up want a better look.It's not perfect but it was cheap,and worked for my last engine that I shifted at 7400!
