I’ll load a few pics here, still adding parts… NOS was the last addition.
AC removed.

Newbie lesson learned, car is at the Dyno, was discussing my goals, at this point I am going to need to upgrade the intake, probably BoxR, bigger cam, possibly heads, and more fuel! I dont have numbers yet but when I do Ill post them. Of course I will still need to upgrade the tranny still, running a big TC in front of a stock tranny will only get me so far.

What is your goal? That combo should be 400 at the tires

To be honest as I built it has changed, the initial goal was to build it in stages- street, street/strip, strip only.
My newbie brain didn’t catch that the TF Track heat would be a choking point, or that the 347 could benefit from a larger cam and a little larger heads. Over all end goal is On3 turbo set up running nitrous with a goal of 1000 rwhp. I chose stages just so it wasn’t such a huge cash hit! But too late lol. I have the 175 spray set up now, the dyno tune will get that squared away for me. So I should be close to 600 probably a little under currently. So upgrades are needed, the 1000hp goal is my next year goal, hopefully intime for the season.

Awesome motor build you got going on. Car looks good too! Looking forward to following along.

Let us know if we can help with anything, we offer just about everything like exhausts, suspension, intakes, and much more.

With the mild cam, restrictive intake, and torque converter it was only 294 to the tires, calculated with fuel flow 410hp at the crank. So now, I will be changing to a Holley High Ram intake, and a cam with better duration. I will have these parts for sale....

Damn that seems low

That’s what I thought too. Only 28.8° advanced tried 30 and lost 2hp.

I did a 308 .040 over bore with a little e cam old school Trickflow 170’s and Holley systemax make 339/340 to the wheels. Something sounds off for a 347 build

I wouldn't worry about the dyno numbers, trap speeds are a much better representation of power. Depending on the dyno the numbers can be influenced one way or another. Mustang dynos being heart breakers for instance. Also you're running g an auto which "sucks up" a lot of power.

I have Trickflow track max cam 224/232 duration @0.50 and .542/.563 lift. SVE 185/58 heads, trick flow track heat intake. Hugh’s performance torque converter, with a stock tranny behind it. It’s about 410 to the crank, so I’m losing a decent amount through the tranny.
Have 47lb injectors and 255l/h walboro.

Yea this particular automatic is losing a lot, the plan is either a lentech 4r70w or a turbo 400.

 

[Wells.Strength]

Update: hit the track last night it ran very well, but the transmission underperformed, have the quick 4 on the 4r70w with Hugh’s 3000 stall, pushed through the brakes every time, not a single good launch, and several missed shifts, best time was a 12.4 with no launch and no nitrous. Roughly 354 rwhp based on that time and 110mph.
So now…. A manual reverse valve body and transbrake in a new tranny. Either lentech 4r70w or go TH400 but then I have to swap a bunch of crap… any input here? Or resources?
I’ll be selling the cam, and intake if anyone wants a very solid street set up! My goal is 1000hp now so I need to upgrade.

 

[Wells.Strength]

Selling the track heat intake if anyone is interested.

Ironically enough it was a Mustang dyno lol. I ran an 11.9 this last weekend at the track, need to change out the tranny, soft launches and delayed shifts are killing it. Any experience with the Lentech trannys? Rated for 1500hp at least that way I don’t have to adapt for TH400….

What was your trap speed?

11.973 @ 116.61

The TH400 is a proven component! Very tough! Ive witnessed a handful of friends pour money into ford auto transmission only to give up and swap to a TH400, their problems were solved afterwards
