    Skid Mark - how fast for 5k?

    Okay, so I've been sucked into this and I'm looking at a 84 no option notch, but may be able to retrieve my 400.00 89 LSC to do this with. I'm posting the budget with the 84 as a starting point, the 89 would be easier to start with, it has a lot of the junk I need already.

    The asterisks mark stuff I already have. I can't figure out how to put a table in this post, sorry for the alignment issues.

    400 c6 and 460 *
    650 mustang - still in the air
    450 drag radials and skinnies - craigslist, found a couple sets, some cheaper
    150 Frame connectors
    500 Roll bar
    110 carb * 750 holley ebay
    200 pistons * forged ross .030 used, ebay
    440 rods * new h-beams
    20 cam * Ebay blue racer Score!
    40 lifters * local mass builder
    100 pan * ebay
    70 bearings * local mass builder
    40 gasket set * local mass builder
    110 intake * ebay torker - yuck, but 50 pounds lighter than stock.
    150 c6 kit
    200 brakes and 8.8 with 3.55
    150 exhaust bends
    340 turbo * ebay chang wow hx55 ripoff
    200 intercooler
    200 wg and bov
    100 carb rebuild and jets
    150 radiator * motorsports fox radiator from another project
    150 Fuel pumps * 190 pound mustang pumps
    50 driveshaft * from an old project
    -50 sell c4
    -20 scrap - radiator and 7.5, brakes
    60 motor mounts * ebay stands (50.00) and 5.00 six cylinder mustang pads

    4960

    Oooops. 185 for block cleaning, bore and cam bearings installed, 50 for plugs and wires. I may have to rethink claiming the rollbar. :|

    /edit - oops again. Needs balancer and balance. Can I take back what I said about claiming the rollbar? grin.

    Depending on how much stuff I can sell from the Mustang, or if I can get the LSC back here, this will change. It's a fairly realistic starting point though, with a bit of wiggle room, I expect some things to be a bit cheaper and that will hopefully cover the oil / lube / silicone. The turbo is an chang wow HX55 ripoff , should be around .75 kg/s potentially. I don't think the setup I have is gonna flow that much. As it starts going together, I'll put more detail into the parts.

      Is there a good way to copy and paste to here from excel? I have a pretty good budget for the ranger in a spreadsheet.
      There's always something new to learn.

        I had to paste it into notepad in a feeble attempt to get the tabs lined up - still had to hand edit here.

              The car is a lot heavier but also has a 3.27 8.8 w/ disc rear that is a good fit for the 460. I was looking at fiberglass and carbon fiber materials this morning. I wonder how hard it is to do a hood mold? I think it's gonna be an excercise in getting weight out of the front of this mother.


              I think I'd like to get it to run with the 460 and then worry about the chang wow turbo. I'm sure I'm overlooking something major... also wondering if the torker p.o.s. manifold is low enough to get the hood closed. It's got an Oklahoma title, registering it is gonna be a bitch. It was never transferred to the last guy that I bought it from. Probably better if I just kept it off the street.


              /edit - even manual formatting gets ripped from the posts here. Maybe I'll screen shot the next one and put it in as a pic.

              Almack (on here maybe still?) said the D5 manifolds fit well with his t-birds. Those are the boat anchor manifolds I have, think I'll do that first. The headers are $$$ from Hooker and every post I see about them says they fit like ass. Crites has some that are mid length and around 300. I might look into that.

                  My car has Hookers on it. They needed a little help here and there, but they were cheap. Just gotta watch 460Ford.com. Used sets pop up all the time.

                      Brian, would it be possible to change the name of this thread to "Skid Mark... trying for plaid on 5k" ?

                      sorry to be a pain, but it looks like it takes a mod. Thank you...
