...the turbo 347 again

coupe · 06-13-2005, 11:26 AM

After going through 3 C4's, my buddy decided to buy a prepped 'Glide. Well, then he came along an Art Carr AOD and traded for the glide! SO now the combo reads:

white fox coupe
347" forged bottom 10:1
Victor Jr's
Victor EFI
55# inj.
cutom cam (sounds stock!) .540's/.560's
ArtCarr AOD
3.55's
GT70/Q turbocharger with 3.5->3" downpipe,
factory catback with flowmasters
Non-intercooled.

8-10 psi: 450 ish/520ish
16 psi: 522/600. (through an AOD!)
Drove it to the dyno

I haven't driven it yet. But supposedly perfectly streetable.

I wouldn't classify any car with a "glide" as being perfectly streetable at all, but I guess it depends on how he defines a steet car.

it's an AOD.

Car made first pass at the track (1/8mile) with the turbo setup last night. Went 6.95 @ 103.xx and blew a header gasket when it came on hard...thus only boosted about 13 psi. After new gasket, he tried to give it more boost and for some reason; thought LOWERING the fuel pressure would help...detonated bad & he let out to a 7.50 @ 72 mph.

It's got a 6.50 @ 106 or better in it I know.

Drove car to & from track

edit: 6.95 @ 103 is equivalent to around 10.90's @ about 125.

Nice. I need a turbo mustang.....maybe if I could get rid of this stinking turbo honda.

He's leaving a LOT left on the table. There have been MANY Turbo Mustangs to run 6's with a 100% stock engine. a 347, with Vic head should go 6.30's fairly easily.

Yea I know. It's got a stock computer (the calculations are based on 302 cid...not 347) so there are issues there. It runs & drives fine and WOT is doing well, but as an example: his 347 in the coupe went 12.98 @ 106 on motor. My 302 in a coupe went 12.74 @ 109.

Disney Lincoln · 06-20-2005, 10:26 PM

302 in my boat went 12.6@108 NA.

He needs to tune on it before he hurts the motor.

Found out what the noise was this Sunday @ Steele. Crank Walk.

Torque converters sometimes have paint on them which causes them to not "insert" correctly at the back of the flexplate/crank. He said it was very tight getting this & the trans to bolt in. Of course now he realizes it may have been too tight.

How I made it froom Steele to Bessemer with over 1/8" crank walk; I'll never know. He's talking about a 460 now so there might be some 302-based turbo stuff up F/S like Vic Jr.s, Vic Intake, turbo and kit ...

EDIT: well. Block was split right up the middle. 600 rwtq is a killer.
Big block is a go...already has all the goods sold. Except turbo
