My Back Halfed 85 Turbo FB with 275x 50
just finished the back half on my 85. square tube frame with a ford 8.8, 456 Richmond gears, strange axles and got Weld Rod Lite wheels. 15x 3 in the front and 15x 10 in the rear wrapped in a 275-50 Nitto drag radial. its amazing how much power this motor has. before i would let go of the tires at 75 MPH when it would boost. Now I'm leaving a 10 1/2 inch foot print. cant wait to get my new wheels for the street.... 18x 7.5 in the front and 20x12 in the rear on 305-30-20
here is the motor for those of you who asked. 13b street ported with 650 holley and a 60-1 turbo machined with a 67 wheel.... so i guess its a 67-1.... 603 RWHP @ 22 psi...... word on the street is I got a 3 rotor..LOL

Would like to know what you did with the timing, locked dizzy I imagine??
Sooo tempting, I have an assortment of carbs, a nice t4 header, t04r turbo (diesel equivalent) and the exact same carb hat too!

Very nice, just for interest sake besides the extra fabrication involved is there any real advantages to backhalfing and fitting in a ford 8.8. To buying the Grannys speed shop ta/sa kit? Obviously with your setup the rear end links can be modified to any angle, does this make a huge difference compared to grannies setup that is supposed to provide slight lift on accel for better traction?
to go widebody. Plus, all the customization possible with
everything being adjustable. He can adjust the pinion angle,
pre-load, etc..
Similar to mine, (I have a 4 link) - but with the advantage of being able to fit Steamrollers under the stock sheet metal.
LOL.... I couldnt of said it better myself... big wheels and tires without damaging body lines. the hole launch now is incredible. as for the 8.8..... i have a buddy that went 8.63 in the 1/4 in a 93 Mustang coupe with an 8.8... good enough for me..... and when i put the 18x7.5's in the front and the 20x12's in the rear its gonna look like a DUB CITY TOY
I dont know how much it cost cuz i painted a motorcycle for the 8.8 and gears . then i painted a mural on a hood for my boy who did the four link set up and i helped .. but i woul say it might cost between 2500 to 5000 to do it





I love your engine set up!
