Olb Blue Beast
Built Ford Tough
Hey ya'll. Ok, I've had these plans drawn up on paper since I started gr9 (im in gr11 now) and I finally decided ill share em with ya'll to get a few pointers, opinions and advice. I understand it sounds like a lot of money, but I DONT want a PSD, or a Cummins in my 77' considering this engine and trans will be swapped into it. I'm wanting to break the 380HP and 750FT-LB mark with this setup... maby touch into the 400HP/800FT-LB mark. Motor is a 89' 7.3l IDI and trans is a ZF-5.
here we go... In list form for the motor.
-ARP Head Studs
-Either a IDI Performance DB4-150 Inj. Pump or a RD4-180 Inj. Pump (Not sure)
-BB Code Injectors
-IDI Performance Main Girdle
-IDI Performance Stage 1 Cam
-IDI Performance Intake Manifold
-IDI Performance pistons shaved .060",Tri Coated and Cryo Treated
-Cryo'd IDIT Pushrods (if they will fit the N/A)
-Comp Cam PSD 910-16 Valve Springs
-Ported and Polished heads
-Holset HX35 Turbo W/ Wicked wheel and Mechanical Wastegate
-Custom Intercooler
-Maby a Water/**** Inj. Kit... not sure
-Homemade Turbo Headers (manifolds... wtv u wana call em)
-Water/Fuel Seperator
-Carrier/Faucet Electric Fuel Pump
-Coolant Filter W/ SCA's
-Dual Electric Rad Fans
-3G Alternator Swap
Transmission:
-Gear Vendors Under/Over Drive (For towing and Economy)
-Aux. Cooler(s)
-South Bend HD Clutch (the 375HP one)
-South Bend Single Mass Flywheel
What do ya'll think? Feedback is appreciated.... Just please don't heckle me... I know I'm not an IDI Expert, but I have worked in this for a long time and done a lot of research. Maby someone can tell me what head gasket to use. Some people have told me to use the Valair clutch, and also that the Holset HX35 with a Wicked wheel wont be enough, but to use a IDI Performance Stage 3 Turbo.
