[warezdog]

No it still sounds crazy!!

 

[ZA80]

80 will last another 40 years sounds like a future investment. [emoji6]

I love this thread - any recent photos?

keep it up!

 

[scottryana]

No nothing too recent. I am sure everyone is tired of manifold pictures lol. I contacted Whiteline the estimated ship date for the sway bar is 1/30 so hopefully that holds true and we can get back on track a little lol.

So how do they test that mani for leaks, hydro?

 

[scottryana]

Yep, water tank and pressurize it.

Love this build, I might have to drive down from Frederick and check it out when you start bolting stuff up, no doubt it will be the fastest 80 in NA and probably the world.

 

[scottryana]

Yeah but that's kind of like taking your pig to the Kentucky derby and telling everyone you have the fastest pig in NA and probably the world. No one cares except maybe pig farmers. Lol

I'm from Iowa. We are all pig farmers here. We care!

I thought every 80 owner was technically a pig farmer

You've got some competition in the 60 section!

Triple turbo 2H!

Wow that thing is pretty wild! Those sure are cute little turbos lol. I bet he could have gotten the same result from 1 normal sized turbo with less heat. Not that big of a deal on a diesel but on a gas engine that would be a no no.

So before I page thru 40 pages looking what pumpkin is going to sit behind it?

 

[scottryana]

Stock axles with limited slips. I would like to swap the locked axles out into my silver LX450 and use the open axles from it.

you think the pinion, hell the whole driveline from the tranny back, is going to take that kinda torque? I'm assuming you're not going to drive it like a grandmother going to church everytime!

 

[scottryana]

I think it will be fine, it's a 9.5" ring gear. Guys have been running huge power through ford 9" for years. If not I guess I will find out. Lol

 

[warezdog]

So do you have a go to or prefered solution once it lets loose?!

 

[scottryana]

No I am sure it will be fine.

High HP/torque on a street rig is much easier on drivetrain parts than high HP/torque in low range - I'd imagine the axles and other stock(ish) bits will be just fine.

Agreed but most high power street cars are not north of 2 1/2 tons either!
