Hi. MY name is Norval and I just found out yesterday about Action Center and just wanted to drop by.
I have a 75 with a 460 bigblock running a 8-71 blower, twin highly reworked 850 double pumpers, a complete roller valve train, good heads and everything else I can think of.
I did start out with a 400 and high stall with the bigblock on nitrous and run low 10's in street trim but I got tired of the high reving on the highway with the 4.11 gears.
I also found the motor with the big heads wouldn't run well below 5000. I then went for a complete different setup with a 8-71 blower running 15% overdrive or 12 pounds of boost.
I also got a 700R4 and blew up 3 of them and 4 torque convertors using 12 inch slicks on the street.
I then went to the T5 MUSTANG transmission and loved it and never had a problem even with the slicks.
'For durability I sold the T5 and went to the Tremec TKO. The 4.11's proved too low so I switched to the 3.08's. Like them alot better but even at the top end of second it still has a problem. At leat 3rd works.
I have coilovers all around, a 6 link rear suspension, a totally worked front end, like a stock car for Zero toe, longer spindles to raise the roll center, countless lightening parts etc etc.
The car gets 15 mpg doing 1/2 and 1/2 driving, never overheats, loads plugs or causes any problems.
I did twist both rear axles so I designed and home built a massive set from 4340 and oversize bearings.
I presently run 305 radials on the car for better cruising on the expressways. I have changed from drag racing to high speed cross country running and regularly cruise at 130 where the motor is turning 3000 and is very smooth.
I also painted the car in the driveway and this is a shot of it taken last summer. The paint is 5 plus years old.
