Popular Post 41chevy Posted May 4, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted May 4, 2014 This is what I went to Dayton to pick up. It was built, installed, tested and tuned by Ohio George Montgomery at his speed shop. In 1973 George ran a 2.3 turbo Pinto, won a the 73 Summer nationals and set 14 records with it. With 70's technology he ran 135 @ 10.10 with 500 RWH.P. He also ran a 70 Mustang AA/gas with a twin turbo 429. He missed the national record by .07 seconds. After talking with him I figured he's the one to build it.1984 SVO the 2.5 was punched to 2.8. Cross flow dual plug head, 120 lb. Shelby GT40 Injectors, 76 mm Air Research Turbo, Freon Air to Air Intercooler. Crankcase Vacuum pump and 4 stage Nitrous but it is not charged . For the high points of the mods. Turbo runs 30 lbs boost and was run up to 42 lbs boost with no problems. Feeding through a 5 speed Tremac and a Moser 9 inch Detroit Locker with 3:89 gears in put 530RWHP @ 35 lbs boost on E-85R Sunoco Racing Fuel. Last photo is the car in original as purchased form. 8 Quote "OPERTUNITY IS MISSED BY MOST PEOPLE BECAUSE IT IS DRESSED IN OVERALLS AND LOOKS LIKE WORK" Thomas Edison “Life’s journey is not to arrive at the grave safely, in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting ‘Holy shit, what a ride!’” P.T.CHESHIRE Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/35613-farmer52-heres-the-cause-of-my-ills/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

The car is going Monday to have the cage fitted and the fire system installed at Mustang Magic. Than off to E town to get NHRA Certified and have the wife shoot some video.

Chuck P Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 That definately packs some serious hardware in that little package. Does it still have the quad-shock setup in the back?Good luck with the chassis cert and I hope you put down some good numbers with it. Quote "If it's all the sime to you...

The rear is fully adjustable Competition Engineering 4 link with progressive load, adjustable coil overs, front is the QA1 Pro Comp System from K frame to struts. Uniting it all together will be a set of Granatelli subframe connectors that will go in with the Alston Pro Street cage.

41chevy Posted May 5, 2014 Author Share Posted May 5, 2014 This is my last race car. Started racing when I was 17 and I'm 61 now and really not a 100% into it after this Panceaitis attack. Ran gassers, a funny car, bikes and a ton of "street cars". When we get all moved to Virginia and the track isn't a 240 mile round trip I'll probably feel better.

General Ike Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Paul... Although I'm sure that car is a blast on the quarter mile, the original suspension setup and 4 wheel disc brake option on the SVO combined with the lightweight 4 pot motor would make it soooo much more fun on a road course. You'll have several near you... VIR and Summit Point to name a pair.... But I'm sure that you'll have fun at the strip... There is nothing nastier than turbo noise as they spool up.

Freightrain Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 There is a fellow named Matt that lives in Virginia that I did some transmission work(Doug Nash) and he runs a FOX body with a turbo 4banger. He just posted on Facebook the other day I think it was going 6.60 in the 1/8 with "only 20#". Slowly creeping up on his goal.His latest video is on facebook, but here is from last year:Link to facebook video:https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10152131157076989A friend locally tried to build one and he put it in a '72 Datsun body. It was a full tube chassis. He ended up selling it off before getting the bugs out. 1 Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

PaulYou'll have Waynesboro just over the mountain from you, Richmond, Dinwiddie, and New London, that I can think of right off hand. They're all within an hour or two, or about 20 minutes if you drive the car to the track. 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

41chevy Posted May 6, 2014 Author Share Posted May 6, 2014 You'll have Waynesboro just over the mountain from you, Richmond, Dinwiddie, and New London, that I can think of right off hand. They're all within an hour or two, or about 20 minutes if you drive the car to the track. When we first bought the property there was a track in Louisa, closed idown but it is all intact.I ran road courses a few times. Bridge Hampton in the late 70's with a Crown Corv8 and a few runs at Lime Rock with a 66 vette. Nice experience but just not my cup o tea.Vladd, that's not polished it's Jet Hot Thermal Coating to keep the air charge cool as possible, good for a few h.p.Larry, your friends run is impressive, even more so considering what stock parts he is running! I have a target ET that Ohio George and I came up with and this is the first "Laptop adjustable" unit I've ever run to set it for air density, altitude and temp plus a few other items at the track and as the day changes to reset it. Gone are the days of re jetting, re timing and such. Kind of feels like cheating but that seems to be the only way to compete with the big boys.Paul 1 Quote "OPERTUNITY IS MISSED BY MOST PEOPLE BECAUSE IT IS DRESSED IN OVERALLS AND LOOKS LIKE WORK" Thomas Edison “Life’s journey is not to arrive at the grave safely, in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting ‘Holy shit, what a ride!’” P.T.CHESHIRE Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/35613-farmer52-heres-the-cause-of-my-ills/#findComment-244526 Share on other sites More sharing options...
