My 88 TII SBF 351w Swap Adventure

[BlackFC-TII]

It has been a while, wow how time files.

I do have some updates. I ran the crap out of the car last year attending multiple drift events and driving it on the street; I had no issues other than getting hot while sitting still. I still need to look into some better cooling/fan options. I also added a large scoop to cover the hole in the hood; I'm not really ecstatic about how it looks, but I don't think it looks terrible.

I came to the conclusion I needed more power and in different areas than a stock truck motor could provide. That prompted the winter project to kick off... I picked up a set of Trick Flow twisted wedge 170's with 58cc chambers, Comp Cams XE274HR, roller rockers, MSD 6AL, and other bits to facilitate the install.

I have to say it's a completely different experience now. The power comes on hard immediately, and pulls strong up to 6k unlike the 4,500 rpm brick wall I used to have with the truck cam and stock heads. It feels way stronger now with much more power.

@Ffjosh: If you have any specific questions/concerns, or want any more detailed pictures of anything let me know. Overall I am happy with the swap.

Thank you. Ill do some more research and see. This winter I'm mainly building my engine. Ill probably stick with the brick wall 4500 for a bit

I'm going to post into your thread some questions/comments

Curious what you did to mount the slave to your t5?

My understanding is all t5 were cable so you make a small bracket and bolt on the slave. Did granny kit come with this?

I can get a slave cheaper then granny but if it's all there why not.
