How was the conversion? I remember you saying no cutting is needed when using the C4 trans.

Conversion was not easy as i did not want to cut towers or tunel everything has been customised around those areas to fit, e.g exhaust/ intake manifolds. Engine mounts and trans crossmember were modified and engine pushed forward to clear the c4 bellhousing.

Fanatic job,massive Hp, would do well at summernats i would of thought.

Very nice work. I've never driven a BF or FG V8, but my daily drive is a chipped FG6ET - in my experience, what turbo's lack in sound, they make up for in shove

Video of idle. Not bad for a 6 cyl.

Watch "66 Mustang with Barra motor" on YouTube

Wow - sounds pretty tuff!

Loved the power curve on the Dyno, lots delivered REALLY early there, the experience of that would require a strong seat-back...

Dwayne · « **Reply #15 on:** May 31, 2019, 11:25:53 am »

Have you had a chance to run it down the quarter yet Zlat?

mwizz · « **Reply #16 on:** May 31, 2019, 11:26:56 pm »

I wondered what it would sound like. That is a great note.

Dwayne · « **Reply #17 on:** June 24, 2019, 09:07:56 am »

There's a nice feature on Zlat's car in the July 2019 Street Machine mag (pg 54).

Just read the feature in SM magazine. Really impressive build Zlatko. Well done.
