Thumbs up

I'm switching to some good old American muscle, a 1964 Galaxie 500 with a 391 big block.

Had a great run with the 7s but they are up for sale very soon.

We can still have our summer RX-7 BBQs at my place as Erick will one in the garage.

Yes I have them but don't know what box I have them in from moving. I'll look today.

I don't have a radiator

Parting out my TII, let me know if you guys need anything. Engine, tranny, and stock turbo for 1500. Apexi turbo timer (new) Set of BBS rims with great tires,

Red Rocket, I need those rims back, I have others you can put on your car while you work on it

im assembled a lot of the motor today and am painting parts to clean it up a bit. Monday I remove everything in the bay and prep to paint the bay and to talk with a welder to fab up the v-mount. I got the first half of my rims this week and am talking to a buyer for my front mount. Just letting everyone know where im at.

hey tom is the 13b street ported? cuz what i want to do is the T2 conversion on this white piece o dog crap but i lack knoledge on ho much stuff I will need since its an original GSL not a GSLSE.. so i dunno. simon told me it would be more cost efficient to slap the conversion on this one instead of getting a gslse and putting the body of the one i have into that one.. i just don't know.. but i need to start hitting it if i want to A)get it done before i deploy or B)do it when i come back..
btw when can i drop by to pick up the harness?

It has a moderate port job according to Puerto Rican standards. About 5k on the rebuild and a larger turbo as stated in my signature. Anyone who rode in this car with me know it pulled hard, very hard. 0 to 100 in a blink of an eye. Simon thinks his turbo is fast but this one would have kicked his *** without even hitting second gear.

I will sell the motor, tranny, drive shaft and LT8s with harness and adaptor for 2k delivered to to your door.

I also have a complete Racing Beat Turbo exhaust I will sell for no less than 700

Macho put a large ported turboII in his FB, all you need to do is have the drive shaft adapted for about 45 bucks.

Tom, is that LT8 tuned well? Ever had it on a dyno? I might be interested. I was planning on doing a halfbridge NA 13b, but I hate to pass up a good opportunity... specially on a bolt in setup. I have 2 grand cash. Or does Sean already have dibs?

Money talks............No reply from Sean.

I bought the Microtech but never installed it. It has a turbo base map and whatever the previous owner saved as his tuning preferences. I know he was running larger injectors than stock.

The only person who is decent at tuning is leaving town, the myth, the legend.......the beaner boy himself..........Punto Rotary

And that is an LT8-S

So what are you using at the moment, stock ecu? What injectors?

Maybe I should swing by sometime this weekend to talk.

Yes stock ecu and injectors. Some hack completly screwed up the stock harness in an effort to clean up the mess the rats nest left behind and I think he even used it to mount a microtech system. The stock harness is Fudged up!! Had trouble in the range of 1800 to 2200 because of the bad harness and the inability to maintain a good ground or good ecu communication. Car never failed to start and when the larger turbo started boosting at 3500+ the performance was exceptional. I bought the microtech to fix this problem, just never installed it.

Car also has a unsprung four or six puck clutch with a heavy duty throw out bearing.

The harness with the microtech, the previous owner did a good jod assembling it. Clean soldiers with shrink wrap protection, a clean job by someone who knew what he was doing.
