dyno tuned at 290 rwhp at 6000rpm, 289rwtq at 3500rpm and will legally pass emmisions.
setback...but expected...broken tranny at the modular shootout iv..but came in first place..woohoo! then still raced it for a muscle mustangs and fast fords magazine shoot/race a few weeks later. lol. sadly ran a 14.6 at 97mph..limping down the track.
10mph off and 1.5 seconds slower than usual.
my winter project:
currently rebuilding the 4r70w tranny with 5gear planetary+sun gear from an f150
lightning, lightning spec direct clutch drum(with a custom 7disc setup), one peice input shaft, 7tooth output shaft, mechanical diode, f150 lightning clutch plates,
2-1/2 hd od band, intermediate clutch from the lincoln mark8. building a
fordchip.com spec valve body to handle a PI 2600 stall tq converter. BIG plate and fin style tranny cooler with digital water and tranny temp guages.
tranny will handle 550 rwtq easy. i dont think i'll break this one...this tranny could sit behind a heavily modified f150 lightning and bracket race all day long without fear.
i think of it as a tranny for the future(same 5.0 bolt pattern). forged 347 stroker + 16psi vortech.
also have a 78 302. rebuilt .030 over 79 block, ross forged domed 11:1cr pistons,
edlebrock performer rpm cam and intake, ported heads, holley 650 4bbl,
4speed manual with a hurst shifter, dynomax turbo muffs with dumps+no emmisions
choking equipment.
