89 Mustang GT Twin Turbo

[00SVTC]

Well, I've been tossing around the idea of selling my twin turbo 89 GT. I was thinking that if someone offered me $6000 it would be hard to pass up. It would need a new shortblock. It has a fresh stock shortblock in it now, with only about 500 miles on it, but it wont last, infact, it has already started smoking. It has good heads (AFR 165). I would think for about $3500-$4000 you could get a built 4-bolt shortblock assembled, then pump some major boost into it.
pretty much everything mechanical has been replaced at some point since I have owned it.

Heres some quick specs:

Bads
Paint isn't the greatest, id call it a 6/10 both doors have been keyed, and there is rust on the hatch.
I don't know the color of the car, so I havent been able to get things fixed. Its a single stage mediocre paint job.

It made 380hp and 460 ft-lbs with the stock shortblock at only 8 psi. it would easily make 500+ with more boost.

So, here are a couple pics:

oh, and I figured I would add that this car runs amazing. It starts up instantly, idles perfect. no surging or any of that crap. It drives nice with the 3.27 gears. It just smokes when you get on it hard and also after you have been off the gas and making vacuum, like just coasting in gear then it makes a big puff.

My theory, which will be confirmed when I do the leak down test, is that it was overly rich before I got it on the dyno and when we first started tuning, and the oil got contaminated with fuel, causing excessive ring wear. when I changed the oil after the dyno it smelled like gas.

car also has MSD 6AL ignition and blaster coil, plus a MM clutch quadrant and cable.

how many miles on body ?

 

[longrodLX]

wow.....badass car and an awesome price. I think it may be the turbos that are smoking. Might need an oil evac pump or something like that I think its called? this is going to be a great deal for someone

Might need an oil evac pump or something like that I think its called?

A scavenger pump?:shrug: Could be, but with the turbo's mounted up high like that, they should drain just fine without a pump. I've got a dart based 438" short block I'd sell you.... A big inch twin turbo'd fox would be sweeeeeeeettttttttttt!!!epper:epper:

could be. I don't know though. It didn't smoke for about the first 400 miles or so. it's only started smoking in the last 100. I put oil feed restrictors on the turbos, and the smoking has been reduced, so it may be the oil seals in the turbo. I am going to do a leak down next week so I will know for sure.

how many miles on body ?

the body has 175k. I bought the car 8 years ago with 129k. I don't know when it was painted. I had the silver painted using a ppg single stage like 3 years ago.

Another item that I forgot,

it also has a QA1 tubular k-member

I am considering parting this car out, so if anyone has interest in parts let me know. if anyone was waiting for a price drop it isn't going to happen. I figure i can get over 8000 partin it out so 6 is the rock bottom.

 

[00SVTC]

by the way, cometic mls head gaskets and ARP headstuds

 

[00SVTC]

stay tuned.....leak down test results on the way

 

[00SVTC]

6 cylinders have 85-90% sealing, 10-15% leak
the back 2 have 40% sealing, 60% leak.

needs a short block for sure

Well if you do part it out let me know! I'm looking for a decent rolling chassis car, for my 347

 

[00SVTC]

I am going to part it out, but it most likely wont be rolling. depending of course on your offer and what you wanted on it, most of the money making parts are the front suspension and the irs.
