Taking the 240 to a whole new level of sacrilege...

[killernoodle]

Shifter is done, can anyone guess what the sweeeeet shift lever is from?





Throw is good, I can adjust it however I want as well. I just need a jam nut to secure the heim joint.

[S133P3R]

i gotta get in on this thread.

and what is the shifter made from?

Aluminum

Its the steering stem from a Yamaha R6.

Now with more wheel fitment!



The wheels are surprisingly light... I had the impression they were all super heavy. 17x10.5 +27 out back, 17x9 +24 front. Fronts fit perfectly right off the bat. Rears probably need a 10mm or so spacer and definitely some flares or over fenders. I'm loving the idea of flares personally.

What does everyone think of the spacing in the rear? Is that acceptable? My knuckles wouldn't fit between the inner fender area and the edge of the rim.

Center caps will be replaced with something relevant.

geez hairy ape

love'n the build

[King Ranzo]

I love how the cat is just right there in the second pic. I love how this build is coming along.

[Cody240]

woot! V8 240 FTW!!!!! gotta love the god of all motors the v8. powerful and light enough to launch a Ford GT around the track fast enough to smoke v12 Lambos. v8's are awsome especially Fords I mee..... wooh sorry about that the muscle car gear head in my mind just took over (proud owner of a 1966 Mustang) so any way keep up the build dude

[oldtown driver]

see , thats what I'm sayin. Do wat u want. Then show em when its done.zoom zoom

[sbird1]

Looks freakin' awesome man. I agree when it comes to the flares over the overfenders. Keep it simple and badass. Lovin' it. Keep it goin!

Oh, and what tires and sizes are you going with?

[killernoodle]

Falken FK 452s, 235/40zr17 on the front. Haven't decided on back sizes yet.

I'm thinking a huge fender pull is our best bet now.

Looking good. How's the locost been coming? Haven't seen anything from you over there in a while.

[silvia_ks_69]

I made this a few weeks back as well, you guys might be interested.



My brother wanted an "easy button" as some kind of instant drifto switch, I think this is the next best thing.

lol i have the same thing, but i actully bought a k-sport one. its interesting what is gunna happen with the center console, i doubt it will be able to go back in there.

nice project tho man, comin along.

Youre probably right, but the car is slowly evolving to a racecar. At some point I'm probably going to consider whether or not to put the full door panels and other crap back on lol

Nice,

For the Intake you can go with Cobra intake Or BMW V10 Style Intakes like this one :



But the TB placement can be more forward toward the rad,

Looking good,

Remind me of the CRAZY dude who swapped FWD Cadillac V8 north star engine into his S14.

Twin turbo made 62x whp @ 9psi

[killernoodle]

This engine is going to be force fed all the air it needs, I don't think I need to maximize the runners very much. I should be able to get all the power I need on 15psi.

Updates?

Updates?

[breadbox]

Wow. Haven't looked at this thread in a while but that is some nice work.Can't wait to see a video of this going crazy on some asphalt.

[killernoodle]

Just a couple updated pictures for you guys. The clutch (supposedly capable of 580+ ft lbs, enough to snap the input shaft on the 3650 in two so its good enough for me)



And some 315/35-17s that aren't going to fit without flares or over fenders, I tried to tell my brother that but he decided to try to pull the fenders anyways. So now we have a dented quarter panel. SUPER!

Epic thread going on here

[pablo13]

Depending how big your dent is in the rear quarter you may be able to pop it out from the inside. I use an inflatable bag behind the rear quarter when working on 13's to stop this happening. Give your bro a slap for me

I was thinking about inflating a football back there to pop it out.

Fabbing up some headers today:



Before (below) and after (above)



I basically just re purposed the mach 1 turbo kit I bought, cutting all the bends and making them more compact. Overall, I'm pleased with the way they have come out so far.

Did some more work today on the other headers and exhaust stuff.



Unfortunately I don't have any 2.5" V band clamps so I had to use electrical tape to hold the pipes in place.

The awesome thing is that I can re purpose pretty much the whole kit, even the flex pipe and all the 2.5" pipe will have its place. The 3" 90 degree piece will be used to go from the 2-1 collector to the turbo in the wheel well.
