ops: I forgot to finish what I was going to say, I was checking your lower control arms, an was wondering wher you got them, an do they make it for B-body cars, they are really nice pieces an would look good on my RoadRunner, Thanks again
Yup, if you have to ask you can't afford it is how that goes! A standard type of engine from Nelson Racing is around 45K or so. That Elephant Twin Turbo has got to be at least twice that for sure.
I can't find a link to the twin turbo 572ci Hemi in the vid above, but for around the same dyno numbers in a Chevy, there's a spec sheet here: [ame="http://www.nelsonracingengines.com/assets/images/pdfs/dynosheets2010/632-tt-crw.pdf"]http://www.nelsonracingengines.com/assets/images/pdfs/dynosheets2010/632-tt-crw.pdf[/ame]
Hemi parts are of course a fair bit more expensive though.
He is also using his custom Nelson Turbo's, A fully custom Billet Block which from the video it seems he is making that also? I am sure it is WAY more expensive than the Chevy Build.
Got some work done on the 9" Swap. I used my buddy's axle end Jig and it made it easy. I also got the back brace tacked on and cut most of the brackets I need from a sheet of .250" Chromoly.
Made a little progress today. I made my own brackets and damn that is ALOT of work. It is something that had to be done though cause nobody makes the stuff I need.
This is slow process when you need to make all these brackets. Sanding them in and drilling them takes quite a bit of time. It is getting there slowly.
The band saw motor took a dump. We got another one and need to change out the pulley. I still have the 4 lower link brackets to cut, sand and drill. Along with a few more pieces for under the car at the lower arm and the upper attachment Link Bar location. You can see the 4 plates I have with 5 adjustment holes in them. There are a few more pieces that go with that also.
There is still some room left for a wheelie bar attachment so I am thinking to go ahead and put those brackets on also before powder coat.
Yes I am only using all those heims for the correct spacing........
LoL! If our kids only knew the sacrifices it takes for higher education!
When its time I think I will be using a Dana60. I ripped the 9" out of my Falcon 3 times with 900 hp! I even had Richmond Pro gears, Strange case and the same big bearing Billet pinion support!
I spent quite a bit of time laying on my creeper measureing everything so I hope all my calculations are correct. The shock tower will not be in the trunk from my measurements. At first I thought it would be but since the car will sit really low, I lowered the shocks down on the axle brackets to keep it all under the trunk.

Yeah we did the same with my car as well.. what length shock are you using? Also will urs sit about how mine sits? I can't get any lower without the rear tire hitting the back of the fender.. not to mention the shock right now is mid tavel. If we would have put mine in straight up then we would have needed to go with a shorter shock. my rear shock tower bar is located 1/2" from the bottom of the trunk hump.
