flyingbrick Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 What's the price on a tq converter like that roughly? You are my idol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Billet GM 9.5" converters are from $850 up, so more than that I would guess, key bit of equipment to go fast though. SPEND, SPEND, SPEND. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Testament Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 On the money, 850 plus shipping but it's really much more critical to going fast than the turbo or power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingbrick Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Wow, that's not as bad as I expected considering the price of new steel units. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cletus Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Clint Field likes this. that converter looks like a work of art. what are your plans for the diff? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Testament Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 need to find an 8.8 from a 87+ fox body or preferably SN95 mustang, then add alloy axles and appropriate gears. maybe a 9 inch if i can find a housing thats the right width but 9 inch parts seem to be really expensive compared to 8.8 and I would have to make all the mounts etc. if all else fails a narrow hilux diff is an option as well. but really the ford stuff that bolts in is preferable.

glen Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 You need to go Bigblock across all your fleet. Chuck this into your jeep. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/hpe-hp67/overview/ Also this car is going to be so sweet, Is it going to be street legal at the end ? would be awesome car for powercruise.

Testament Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 yeah want to get it done for powercruise. has to be street legal/wofspec for drag wars king of the street or whatever too. would just put turbo on jeep probably. I actually have one on the shelf that is the right size for it too. boost all of the things. still would really love big block too 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spencer Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Don't wanna dial that cam in just to be sure? I would. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Testament Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 I'm going to check it with the degree wheel and dti of course - but rob reckoned it should be on the suggested centrelines at 0 degrees. so I'll check that before I put the crank pulley back on so if I do need to chuck an adjustable timing setup to get there its no big deal. but I'm not going to fart about chasing every last 10-20hp here and there at this stage - even later on its not that big of a deal to pull the crank pulley and front cover and put in a timing set if i do need to chase the small horses.

flyingbrick Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Hey man. You going to re gap the rings? I read they expand and jam in the bore when subjected to boost and extra heat- everyone seems to double the gap of top ring. Love how you work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
