8.8 Independent
Your are right I am one of the older SPF #1325 with the Thunderbird independent and the 8.8 center section. Some where on this site there was a dicussion about beefing up that rearend. Maybe the newer BTR are stronger.
That motor of yours will produce some serious HP and the better it hooks up the more stress the drivetrain is put under.

progress!
As promised, more pic’s from the 496 FE build.
A trip to Keith Craft’s place in Hollywood AR on Tuesday found my motor ready for assembly. Tony Loy rolled me around the shop going from inventory, to the heads department, to the block staging to the crank shaft, pistons and connecting rods.
Block, ready!
Goodies, ready!
Valve covers, ready!
We un-crated the crank while there
Crank moved on to be balanced
Diamond pistons
Scat H beam rods
Stage 2 heads
Now waiting for the Dynatek Classic Injection to be polished, and then final assembly and DYNO BABY!!! |

Eric,
Do you have specs on your Comp Cam that Keith is installing? I want to compare with mine for potential use with the Dynatek. Can't wait to see the pix.

rokndad,
Good question.
I'll ask Keith and see what he has up his sleeves.

Ditto here. Once I get a few miles on my car, I would like to upgrade to FI. Just not sure which is better TWM or Dynatek, though the Dynatek looks closer to Webers, which I like.
Tom, I'm sure the that your cam will work. |

Rodney/Eric,
I gave the specs to Tom Hank at Dynatek, and he's checking on it. 112 degree Lobe Sep, .612 lift both intake/exhaust, 252 intake, 262 exhaust duration. Pretty lumpy, but Tom Hank thinks the Dynatek system can be mapped to handle it. I'll be sure to let you know what he says.

Heard back from Dynatek....Tom Hank said my engine/cam set up will work. Now for the budget dilemma....how to pay for the beast and set up.
