'92 coupe 427w project.

**Rookie** · 03-14-2008 07:42 AM

This was listed in another forum, but as I'm an attention whore, I decided to repost it here.

Bought this car off of a forum member back in '06. As purchased it was a 4 cylinder converted to a 302. It had chrome cobra Rs and leather '95 seats.

As she was when I brought her home:

Shortly after getting her home, I did the following upgrades

Suspension

MM FL subframes
MM strut tower
UMI upper/lower torque box plates
Eibach drag springs with rear airbag
Pro3i upper and lower CAs
'93gt front spindles with 5 lug powerslot rotors
'95 rear axle, 31 spline axles, FMS 3.73 gears, 5 lug discs
Weld Prostars: 15x4 with skinnies, 15x8 275/50 M/T ET Streets
Strange 10 way adjustable shocks/struts

After suspension upgrades and Prostars with Big'n'littles

Vid with stock headers, 2.5" Mac offroad H, 2 chamber flows, and 2.5" flowmaster tailpipes.

Let if like that for a little bit and then had Chad at Racing Innovations upgrade the fuel system

Fuel System

Custom fuel rails
FMS 42lb injectors
Glenn's Performance 950hp system
- Street sleeper sumped tank
- Dual Walbro 255lph inlines
- NHRA approved fuel lines

Fuel system installed by Chad at www.racinginnovationsfl.com

I decided to go 351 stroker for the motor. I waffled a lot on exactly what I wanted to do and how much money I wanted to dump into this project. Originally I was going to go budget with a '69-'74 block with cast internals and Procomp heads. After purchasing the Procomp 210s and talking to my engine builder, I decided to commit a little more money, but since I already had the procomps I made the decision (Bad or not, we'll see in the end) to have them worked by Greg at XSRcylinderheads.

Engine

Dart Sportsman Block 4.125 bore
Procomp 210s now 215s with 64cc chambers worked by XSRcylinderheads
FMS victor jr intake converted to EFI also worked by XSRcylinderheads
Camshaft innovations custom hyd. roller (.623/.609 236.11/253.9 109/114)
Eagle forged internals 0 balanced
JE SRP 19cc dished pistons (10.419:1 compression)
Stainless 1.6 roller rockers
PMAS 95mm "Velocity" mass air meter
Anderson 4" powerpipe
Accufab 90mm TB
FMS 42lbs injectors
Canton 7qt oil pan

Exhaust

Mac 1 3/4" x 3" long tubes
Mac 3" Prochamber
Dynomax 3" ultra flow turndowns

Pile'o'parts

Motor arrived from Rick at www.rnhperformance.com

At this point, I just need to get all the stuff over to Chad so he can get started on the install. Will post up more info as things progress.

Planning on nitrous eventually, but going to need to spend a bunch of money in other areas first. Transmission first I guess.

That's easy, sell your EFI stuff and go carb

I've considered having a tranny put in while it is there, but I want to have her home for a little bit at some point. Since MiDiablo posted the pics, I've pretty much just stayed logged in on this thread and look at the pictures.
