Im about to get with it on the turbo build. Ive had the truck about a month and have been doing a lot of research on this site. Its a Black 93 170k miles. Ive been doing all the prep work to get the truck ready. So far have pulled the engine and trans to replace leaky rear main. Tore engine down and checked bearings and bores. All looked good so buttoned up with better valve springs, new timing set, HO cam advanced 4degrees and the crane/cobra 1.7 rockers.
The trans had ford reman sticker on it and shifted firm. I got a sure cure kit on the way and will get inside it soon. I just got my PATC triple disk 2500 stall from the Brown Santa (UPS)
Today I replaced the computer and all under hood wiring with a 95 mass air set up.
I fabbed a set of long bars out of aluminum. Still need to weld on the brackets to rear and frame.
Plan is for a mid mount. I have 90% of the components for the turbo set up from my mustang days. This is going to be fairly mild. 67mm turbo 10-12 lbs boost. Don't care about Dyno numbers but would love to break into 7's at my local 8th mile track and have a nice cruiser for the weekends. I just became a paid member. I am appreciative of this site and have spent many hours reading up on hear and hope I can offer some info with my build. I will post up some pics soon when I start the fab work. I still need to rebuild the front end before I slip the eng/trans back in so it will be be a couple weeks. This truck is sound but was used as a work truck before I got it and Im semi restoring it as I go so when its done it looks and works the part.
