  1. Gents, does anybody have any experience with blow through carbs, either ones they have converted or purchased new? Just throwing around some shed ideas for the XD and thinking about a side mount blower. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. Hi all, been a while since I’ve been in here. What clutch release/throw out bearing is everyone using with the T5 conversion? Cheers Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Same 2.87 inch stroke as the 289 but with a 3.5 inch bore...better to start with the 289. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I’m on the hunt for a 5.0 efi and 4 speed auto to put into my Model A I’m attempting to build. Got a lead on an EL era XR8 5.0 and auto, hopefully I can score it and slap a carb and dizzy to keep it simple. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    5.0 Coyote into X Series.

    Is there anybody out there doing or know of a coyote engine conversion into X series?

    Blow through carb

    Kit comes with manifolds, crossover goes back off C4 bell housing and turbo sits where our battery is in the X series. Also comes with 3 inch exhaust down pipe which finishes down by the trans cross member. This suits 64-68 mustang with SBF. Can’t see an issue fitting it in the XD apart from the steering box maybe??? Parts list: Manifold kit Turbo T4 (.96 ar hot side) Holley Super Sniper Electric fuel pump and return lines 1:1 rising rate FPR Carb hat and cold side piping - intercooler (already have that) Blow off valve Exhaust mods Upgrade alternator (still run 55 amp) Oil feed and return for turbo - modify sump All this is cheaper than the Torqstorm at $5900. What am I missing? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Blow through carb

    8 psi and I’d be around 525 - 550hp mark which is regarded as being the limit of the factory block, some have been successful in more and holding together, but that is also the limit of my trans etc. Dart block and get serious with it haha. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Blow through carb

    Given the engine bay sizing similarities between the early mustang and the XD, the kit should work. The only issue could be the steering box on the XD being in the way. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    https://www.cxracing.com/MF-KIT-MSTG67-289-VCLM This is the CX racing brand turbo manifold kit to suit 64-68 mustang with Windsor and c4. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Blow through carb

    Yeah they aren’t cheap here at $5900 for the torqstorm setup, however it is bolt in. A turbo setup wouldn’t be cheap for me as I can’t weld and there is no off the shelf (decent quality) turbo manifolds that will work for a Windsor in an XD, there is a stainless kit for a single turbo out of the US to suit a 67 Windsor mustang that could work. Looked into the Holley Super Sniper 650, $2200 and it can control timing, so by the time you buy a boost referenced carb and MSD ignition box you aren’t too far from that. What are you using for a fuel system? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I’ll have to read up on your build. I’m heading towards a torque storm blower. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Thought they were more expensive than that, not too much more than a new blow through carb really. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Blow through carb

    Yeah mate looking around the same price here for a new one specifically set up for boost. I’ve read most of the conversions threads on how to convert your NA carb to blow through, from no power valves and large jets to low vac power valves and better afr with cruising off boost, seems a little hit n miss with results. The other option is Holley sniper / Fitech. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    347 stroker build

    If that is your intended use I would leave the BW diff that’s in it and maybe spend money on that instead. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    347 stroker build

    I love the SBF Windsor, so always interested to read about builds. My first question is, what is your budget. That will dictate your build and end goal. What do you want to do with it? Time and time again the BW diff has proven itself to be reliable for the power you are looking for and a nine inch isn’t really necessary, however depending on what you intend the car for will dictate the running gear. A 302w with 10:1 comp and a mild roller cam and AFR 165 heads will hit the 400hp mark, lots of information on the mustang 5.0 forums. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    50oz both ends, what size bell housing are you going to run, that will determine the size of flex plate or flywheel. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    By the time you buy a blower carb and modify the bonnet (reverse cowl) plus the blower itself you are really into some cash. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    The Smaller Weiand 174 blower for a Windsor is now 5-6k for the kit. I should have got one years ago but now it’s too expensive. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    The grey RTV stuff, use masking tape on the block and manifold so when it squishes out a bit you can wipe it and then remove the tape for a clean look. I haven’t looked at manifold prices in a long time. You use to be able to get a new alloy rpm performer for around $400. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I’d personally get rid of those cork valley gaskets and use sealer. I think that intake will hold this Windsor back somewhat. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
