A little weight reduction

Those door panels look decent...on a capris what does dash look like?

Do they offer a tube cradle for that model?

[Martin0660]

Dash is the same as any 4 eye fox ... Scott Rod make an aluminum one but a wrinkle is a lot of classes I run specifically call out a "stock" dash

if cradle = k member, it's the same as a mustang and I have one

[George C]

Since head is off any aluminum heads that interchange

[Martin0660]

Esslinger makes 4 aluminum heads from a street type hear to a full race one used in Midget cars ... The problem is the alloy is like clamping peanut butter in a turbo application ... Cylinder pressure tries to lift it and it crushes the head under the bolts ... As of right now, it's not off anymore, lol

[Martin0660]

While its apart, I decided to swap turbines ... It's - .63 now, going to a .82 ... Turned out more complicated than I planned since it moved the turbo up an inch, messed with everything around it

I always enjoy reading about this little Mercury.

[Martin0660]

Got the motor back together and started last night ... Upped the turbine housing from .63 to a .82 and upgraded injectors from 80# to 124# ... Amazing enough, it idles very good on pretty big injectors ... I'm staying on gas for now, but it's ready for E85 if I ever want to move that way

U plan on turning the wick up with the upgrades bob? This car has always been one of my favorites to watch.

[Martin0660]

Going to stay at 10.90 through the summer, not much point in cranking it up in heat and humidity .... The plan is to work things out that I have the right pieces in place for the stick shift shootout in Bowling Green, then see if I can take a shot at that.

going to work on the tune up on the dyno next week. That will answer some questions for me.

[black 94]

Yea that makes sense. Good luck at the shoot out.

mmmmm corn i want to try that too

[Martin0660]

I will need to deal with fuel rail, regulator, and lines at a minimum before I think about cord fed ...

[yeahloh95]

[Martin0660]

It's a Stealth 340
