On that Dynamic trans, what bell housing did you/they use?  I can't quite read the tag on it.  Nice work, too! 

EDIT: Nevermind, I read JW.



Im not 100% sure... but it was supplied by Dynamic and I think its an ATI bellhousing... its definitely SFI spec though

It's not the size I just had a problem with the pick-up in drag racing.  I don't know if the Turbo coupe is any different but I had to race with a full tank to keep it from running out of gas half way down the track.  The launch would uncover the pickup and half way down there was a terrible bog. 

Then to solve this I welded in a rear pick-up in the stock tank.  This took care of the bog but when I got down to the end of the track and turned it would slosh to one side and die.  So even then I had to run with a full tank to this from happening.

To solve this I put in a 10 gallon fuel cell and so far so good.  The problem here is that the trunk has to be sealed off with tin.

The faster you go the more problems are created and you are going to go plenty fast!  Just trying to give you my experience to maybe save you some problems down the road.  You will not not see the problems on the road but the track brings out the worst of the problems.

.. thats the little sump you put on the stock tank? no wonder the fuel cell works better lol!


i have a wider fuel sump on my stock tank... that should hold up though i feel, since a lot of people use the particular set-up i have on it... right?

Very nice Job you did there.  My only concern is that the battery location is going to screw you up when you decide to put in a fuel cell.  I tried to use the stock tank and even welded in a rear sump but in the end nothing worked and I had to put in a cell.

I mounted my battery up on top using a plate under it to make it wide enough and they gave me more room on the floor.

i know what you mean, but we got a pretty big tank..  i dont think we're gonna need a fuel cell, since we wont be driving the car every day anyway lol.

but what you did was smart!

Hey man whats up ? Sounds good , When are you gonna get it over to Bellmore Train station ?


Hey buddy! Thanks!

Ohhh, I wish it'd be soon! But I dont know when for sure... we still need to do a little body work and painting... we still need to put in the 8.8 rear (we haven't even built it up yet)..


I'd say that if the body work and painting was done, then I guess we could bring it.... even though the car is not really finished (stock 4 lug wheels totally give that aspect away) lol

What happened to your oil pan? It looks like mighty mouse tried to kick his way out.  I have dreams of building a big block car.



lol nothing happened to it, we just took off the chrome one that was already on the tranny from dynamic, and we ordered their own deep pan that i think holds 2 quarts...or maybe a little more... pretty deep
