Thanks guys. I am tickled to say the least. Amazing to me was that it cranked right up in half a second. None of the usual distributor out of time or 180 out. No backfiring etc. Just cranked and idled like a dream.

Thanks Guys! Blew the exhaust back apart tonight, gotta paint the headers and come up with some plugs for the 02 sensor bungs. Gonna drop the driveshaft off at joint and clutch tomorrow. Also need to build a new tranny cross member. We cut the old mounts out of the floor to make room for the exhaust, so the new mount will tie directly into the subframe connectors. Also time to start the permanent wiring on this thing as well. Getting close. Ready to drive this thing!

Well ran the car for the first time last night... here's the slip.

http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j164/shawnboymoody/2012-06-04_09-07-16_160.jpg

Am I happy with it?.... I'm okay with it. I told Zac and Matt months ago I thought it would run the same time the red car went on motor...7.87 was the fastest it ever went. So it did what I thought it would. I think she will go 7.50s though. The 1-2 shift is very soft and delayed. Converter seems tight as well but might do better on the gas. 60 ft times sucked but the MPH seemed strong. It was also brought to my attention that the rearend is crooked in the wheel well. I knew it wasnt centered but I didnt realize it was crooked. So there it is. We got a baseline now, time to whittle it down. (No pun intended lol)

ForceFed4g63
06-04-2012, 09:44 AM
Nice, I'm sure you'll get that 60 down too. Not too shabby for a leftover 5.3 on motor.

06-04-2012, 10:21 AM
Shawn the car looked good last night and is running good. Once you get your trans to shift good, the et should get a little better. Your converter is indeed tight and that shows in the 60'. Mph is really strong. Car should do some high 11's in the 1/4. Your converter might like the gas though. Just keep the car straight on the gas just like I did last night! Lol!

ShawnBoyMoody
06-04-2012, 10:25 AM
What was the timing at? And what jets are in the carb?

Tried about every one of the MSD timing curve pills with no real change. It seemed to run about 7.78 regardless. It seemed to like the timing brought in quickly tho with the number 6 pill, which is what was in there when I ran Austin. That was also the 7.75 pass. MPH was between 91-94 pretty much every pass. I don't even remember what jets are in the carb. I can tell you its untouched from the Windsor. Only the idle screw has been adjusted.

Thanks. It definitely rode out pretty good and I was happy with the result. Hopefully we will figure out what is making it go to the left so bad. I'm sure its got some more left in it. I may wait a while before hitting it with anymore than the 150 we grabbed lasst night.

Hey man its all good wasnt knocking your shit. Honestly you had me a lil scared coming over to me ready to do the damn thing. I thought you were about play the gap band. Im sure youll get it right soon. Somebody told me your combo it ought to ride out once you get it tuned. Thanks for the run.

It made a decent pass the first one then slowed down a little. 1.95 60 fts don't help. It needs some things, just always doing other things than working on it. Plus none of my real good friends enjoy racing or working on cars do nothing ever gets done

HYHD. Another new best with the FEF at Bowman yesterday. That converter I got from Luckie really woke the car up. Even in that REDONKULOUS heat yesterday and with a track that was less than stellar (street tires had the track tore up) I was able to shave a 10th off the 60 ft and dropped from a 7.68 to a new best of 7.46. Still trapping about 94 so I'm tickled! :cheers

Sold / traded off, right in front of the Lightning, TBSS, and something else I think he had in between...

I think it does have a little bit more in it, but eventually it becomes a mathematical equation how fast 357 hp can push 2900 lbs down the eighth. By the calculators I've used I'm already going quicker than I should be. As far as tires go I was able to stick it when I did proper burnout so they are getting it done for now . They definitely aren't gonna be sufficient on spray later on. I actually need rims AND tires on the car and that would drop alot of weight getting rid if these heavy street rims. I think im gonna ease off the track time until it cools down though. No point flogging it in this heat.
