Re: Not exactly a dime rocket but close.
[QUOTE=hutt1;526100]We are doing good with it.. We have our new turbo back from Charlie after his wreck and long hospital stay.. The turbo we ran last year was a high mile mile turbo out of a junkyard. So I'm interested to see the difference. Hoping to spend a day on the chassis dyno this spring also...once its back together. I did a lot of the same stuff you did like manual rack, bump steer, adjustable struts, caster camber plates and so on..Keep us informed on your progress.
Will do scott! as soon as I make any changes I will update this page, I too am interested in seeing the gains if any in one of charlies turbos,i am also using a JY turbo that seems to be fine for now,keep me posted on your dyno dat! thanks......fred |

Re: Not exactly a dime rocket but close.
This is a older post by I have a chance to pick up a 87 T-Bird Turbo coupe. Was thinking of slow build to stocker by starting as bracket car and remove as much weight as possible. The car has 100K with auto trans. What would be first few things to do, ie tires/ wheels (what sizes). Does the rearend need to be swapped if so to what, gearing, ect. I'm thinking of dime rocket budget with junk yard and swap meet finds. Just looking to run little under index and having fun.

Re: Not exactly a dime rocket but close.
G/H/I Frank, I'm sure that you're kidding. That car is way too rare to make into a Stocker! Cool car though!
