fs 501 ci BBF '87 Coupe
**New Price 11,900** I know that’s a lot but have a lot invested. It’s a track only car right now. I don’t run an alternator. It is registered and I have a tag but not sure why anyone would want to drive this on the road. It is fast. PICS are in my garage and have added a few on the post. I’ll try to remember all that I have done over the past year but may forget some things so feel free to PM or ask if I don’t address something. I also have all receipts and specs (cam card, bob weight for crank etc,.) for anyone interested in seeing them. All work done in May of 06. Car has been a weekly bracket car at Sunshine since this season (Feb 07) with no problems at all. Short block was assembled by Dave Fletcher (AMT in Tampa)
MOTOR:
· Block is 460ci BBF .030 over stroked to 501ci
· Eagle crank w/2.20 rod journals, 4.140 stroke. Crank knifed, smoothed and internally balanced.
· All clevite trimetal bearings
· Eagle forged H beam rods 6.700 length
· SRP forged pistons small 28cc dish.
· Edelbrock Performer Cobra Jet heads. (these things will swallow a tennis ball down the intake ports) *(casting # 61649) 75cc chamber volume. (Makes it about 11 to 1 CR)
· Valves = 2.19int/1.76exh. Heads were decked and spring rates checked for correct rates. Clean up porting to remove casting marks and roughness (Tommy at Amtex Machine)
· Edelbrock Victor Jr. intake. Clean up porting to remove casting marks and roughness.
· Holley 4150HP 1000 cfm (casting # (80514). Custom worked by Scotty McLendon carburetors in Lutz. (Power valve blocked off, custom venturis’, tricked metering plates.)( 88jet’s up front 92’s in back).
· Comp Cam and lifters. .Hydraulic (low maintenance) 585 lift, 305 duration. (Grind# FF 305H-10).
· CSR electric water pump,Aluminum radiator w/electric fan.
· Motor plate/mid, hooker headers to Flow masters, tubular K member, flaming river manual rack, Manual brakes.
· Canton 7qt oil pan.
DRIVETRAIN:
· C6 reverse manual valve body. B& M shifter. J&W billet servo. Red clutches. ATCO torque converter (I launch at idle). Built by Paul Dorn (Lip Shifted Transmissions, Clearwater)
· Aluminum drive shaft.
· 4.10 FRPP gears, spool, 4 lug strange axles with 2 inch studs. 8.8 with adjustable uppers, lowers and lake wood 90/10 - 50/50 front and back. (Gear works, Clearwater).
· Torque boxes welded, sub frames welded etc.
BODY:
· Fresh “yellow green effect” paint, looks awesome. (Dixie paint and body)
Roll bar with racing seats, RJS 5pt belts, full gauges,.
· Fiberglass pin on hood and trunk deck. Remote fuel filler from A.R.T. Fuel Cell, remote shut off, Optima red top in rear.
TIRES/Wheels:
· WELD draglites w/MT skinny’s up front, 26x10 MT slicks in rear. Fronts are 4.5 wide and rears are 10in w/6in backspace.
Car runs great and techs at BTE events and NMRA w/no problem. Runs 6.86’s @101 all day long. I run weekly at Sunshine (Fri nights) if you’d like to look at the car in action. First year racing. I have kids and with baseball, piano basketball and everything else I’m just to busy to lug this thing around every week. I don’t “NEED” to sell this but testing the waters. I am top 10 in points and looking to go to Divisional finals in GA this year so price needs to be good for me to sell.
