well if you can guess by the title the gears in my head are no longer jambed, and im thinking away like mad again. worst bit of all is, what i have planed up is done with ease and it's relatively cheap. just need to make the space to do it and get a bigger welder.
ok so my starting poit is the powerplant, which will be a Chrysler 4.0L I6 out of a jeep, since i know these engines a little too well. next the engine makes a visit to Toys by Troy in Arizona to get a full stroker rebuild. bye bye old 4.0 hello new 4.6 . except get low compression pistons fitted, and a nice high flow aluminum head. then bug jessy at 505 Performance in Washington for a turbo manifold and a turbo , get a FMIC no idea from what yet, might go custom built route ££. damn so much for being cheap... get custom built IC pipeing again ££
custom made transmition, im thinking a custom 5 speed or maybe 6 speed built for a 3.90 rear end, except have a 3.56 rear instead.. which means.... i could go to jail in 2nd gear. yes i know i have allready put too much thought into this.
THEN build a chasis, roll cage, mount the engine, transmition, computer, stand alone ecu, boost timer ect ect.. maybe nos. give it a body, send it to angel tuneing (if they will accept it) get it back, finish it off and unleash it on the track
Im in the process of getting the engine and hope to have it within a month, then i will be posting from there on out on the build. which will take a LONG time i might add, since it will be a full custom build.
so ideas, comments, bitching. you name it. feel free to share.
