Another Turbo Fox Build Thread

Gotta love summit being so close. I got my gaskets and plug wire stockings in today.

Hopefully I can get it back together and start datalogging this weekend.

When we surfaced the heads, the one on the side that blew had a high spot on the center 2 cylinders. So putting boost to the engine must have been enough to do it in.

The finish is a lot better than what ford had on there, here they are ready to go back on. I also bough a set of autolite 24's, I gapped them at .035. Does that sound about right?

A little angle grinder with a scotch bright wheel on it made cleaning up the block a snap.

I'm worried about one of my head gaskets though, because I put a little nick in the fire ring when I was setting the head on there. I'm not sure how crucial that is, but if it blows. I'm parking the car around back and leaving it until spring.
 
well...............I spoke to soon.................

My 9333PT-1's bit the biscuit today..........and now mine's parked for the winter....(see my thread)

And I used 3923's for boost at .35

The 9333 is a basic gasket, try the 1011-1 with the stainless firering (works fine even with an alum head).

I assumne you were using an alum head based on the 3923 plug, try a NGK#8 (known as a 7173) they are a little colder and work much better then the 3923 (which is actually still pretty hot).
