Where's my hoes 10secgoal, paul302, and xoxbxfx
I've been throwing around the idea of what I want to do with the motor for quite some time now. I've thought about every combination of n/a, nitrous, and boost and have been back and forth on just about everyone. I want to be able to make a lot of power, and be able to drive it whenever I want. I'm not going to be able to work on the car for a few months since i'm not at my house so I just look through the internet and keep changing my mind on what I want to do. I have a great rust free 68 J code fastback to work with. I bought it with a fresh 306(original block), and I have a tremec 3550 trans that I threw in since it was sitting in the corner of my garage just waiting to be used in something. Also have a 9" to go in, but uncertain about gear ratio.
Here is what I'm starting with.
The motor is a 306 with eagle I beam rods, TRW forged pistons(L2482F30), and WW sr. heads milled to 62cc with some mild porting....not my choice of motor to run, but it came with the car and it has never been fired.... I figure it will work until I get the r302 block. Right now its at 9.5:1 compression, I'm thinking it might be a little high since I want to run on 93 octane.
This is going to be a little tough and frustrating since I'm relatively new to boost (but not fabrication), and the motor is going to have full accesories (p/s, alt, HUGE factory a/c compressor, p/b), there isn't much room in the engine bay, and I'm not going to cut any of the metal since the car is rust free and I want to keep all the origional metal intact.(or cut very little if I have to ) I've been reasearching at a steady rate, but there is so much info its just overwhelming at first. Just about everything will be custom and fabricated by me including the headers, piping, brackets, etc.
My goal is to get ~500rwhp with this block(I hear the 68 block is beefier then later 5.0L blocks) or maybe 450 because I really don't want to split the original block. When I get a r302 block at 331ci with AFR205 heads I don't want to have to change any of my setup except the longblock. I'd hope for ~700-800rwhp....or even more. I think a garrett GT42 or a turbonetics T76 single turbo with EFI will be good for what I'm looking for? I really have no idea since I just started to learn how to read turbo Map's I'm going to have a good budget, but I want to make sure I have enough money for the suspension, chassi stiffening, etc. instead of blowing everything on the motor.
I'm a little worried about getting over my head, but I think a turbo EFI 68 fastback would be the coolest car on the planet
