hey ladies and gentlemen. its been awhile since I have been on here. we had a baby, and purchased a new house so we have been super busy!! I am on Instagram more often if anyone wants to chat. ( @03svtjmc ) figured id make a post anyways !!
I am super excited to share that I pulled the powerglide and its for sale which can be found under cobra parts for sale on here! but the car is going back to a stick shift ! I purchased a T56 magnum and it is currently at liberty gears getting faceplated, gear treatment, input shaft sensor, and squirters to make sure the front of the gearset stays lubricated under heavy acceleration at the track! I purchased a ram long arm clutch as well so there is a lot of adjustment with the weights and base pressure settings. I don't plan on going any slower with the stick when sorted out and some practice driving the car after the changes. I put the car on the dyno a couple months ago and it made 1,206/1,190 to the wheels through the powerglide on 31lbs of boost/ 13 degrees of timing on pump e85. still a Romeo iron block, factory bore and crank, molnar rods, diamond pistons, Livernois ported heads with todd warren spec cams. I took it to the track this fall and unfortunately the track was not the best that day. had issues with spinning. the best pass I was able to get was...
60ft- 1.50
1/8- 5.49 @137
1/4- 8.35 @ 171
ill try to keep updates coming as I get the stick shift back in there and chipping away back to where I was with the exception of... BANGING GEARS! pretty excited for having the nice drivability back with 5th and 6th gear on the highway. hope all is well and hope everyone has a great holiday !!
