I'm guessing this won't be driven on the street.

Work so far looks great.
What rear end? 8 3/4, D60?

Looks nice, cant wait to see it run. Did you change the internals at all?

Car is for drag racing only.
Has a 9" Ladder bar coil over setup

Here's the bottom of the car now.

The headers were made from a stock set

No internal changes yet, but will probably make a cam change after I get a baseline on the dyno.

any idea what kind of numbers that thing will be pushing out?

What kind of boost are you going to be pushing? I've heard 6-8 is all you want to run on stock internals...

THAT IS AWESOME

How do you think MegaSquirt would work on an XJ, normally aspirated stroker?

crustod, I entered megasquirt xj in google and got 1800 or more hits. Please try that before running over every ones threads on this board!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What trans are you putting behind the 4.0? I'm interested in what's good for racing and mountable on small-bodied AMC cars.

TF- 904
9.5" PTC 4200 convertor
Manual reverse valve body.
Built it myself...find out tomorrow how it works. (weather permitting...again)

Guess I should update some pics.

I am really surprised this thread hasn't seen more attention. You build and execution of the turbo set-up is super clean, and warrants more attention than it's getting. FOR SURE!!

Do you have any more detailed info on what you are using? Injectors, Turbo, wiring, etc. I see you are using MS to control the engine, does it interface well with the Chrysler TPS, CTS, etc?
