    Gran Marquis SC preview

    Well after many months of waiting the GM is about ready to roll again. The pictures will be posted later today in this thread. They still have a few more things to do to wrap it up and I should be able to pick it up next week.
    I will start in the rear as we changed the rear end and put a Eaton Carbon Fiber posi in it with 4.30 gears. We had Moser build 31 spline axles for it also. The tranny has been gone thru again and updated with many new parts and extra clutch packs in it.
    The motor is a Cobra iron block and Cobra crank with a load of good parts in it. It is 9.3 to 1 compression. We used Sullivan Hemi style valve covers and polished the upper and lower intakes. The cams have been replaced with a custom grind that will work well on the street. It has a Vortec T Trim with an air to water intercooler. The radiator has been replaced with a aluminum one from Howe Racing that was custom built. I will post more about it when Ii have a better parts list in front of me. They have fired the motor and it has a neutral tune in it. It is putting out well over 500 RWHP at 13 pounds of boost! The pictures shouls be up a little later today.

    Awesome! Can't wait to see the finished product.

    What do you think the 4:30's will do to your cruising RPM?

    Welcome to the world of BOOST!

    Any thoughts on what rpms you will be turning in 1/4 mile?

    What wheels fit on the car? Do you have more choices with the GM than a Marauder?

    There is a rumor going around that you might join us for Car Craft at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds in a few weeks.

    John, do you need a Interceptor escort (to Minnesota)?

    The more I learn, the more I find out I don't know.

    Confusion will be my epitaph...

    Home of the Berserker Marauder, one of the ancient Norse warriors legendary for working themselves into a frenzy before a battle and fighting with reckless savagery and insane fury, held to be invulnerable...shirtless regardless of wounds...(possibly due to ingestion of psychotropic and hallucinatory drugs such as Fly Agaric Mushrooms)...
