I switched to the '89 Escort heater core. It'* aluminum instead of brass. And I am going back to the liquid-air for both the turbo and the */c. I am also going back to my original idea of running both i/c as auxilliary evaporators in the a/c system. Yes, R134a-to-air intercoolers. I'll have a Hobbs switch over-ride the pcm and engage the compressor at about 4psi. Or just add a toggle switch to turn it on and let it get good and cold before I run it hard.
The wood plates are hogged-out, just need to plane them down to clear the hood at minimum clearance of about .5".

I just bought a REAL T76 ball-bearing turbo on ebay. It is at peak efficiency flowing 45# of air at 8psi. That'll feed the blower enough air for a combined 22-25psi at only 8psi turbo.

just wanted to let you know...Al and I are picking up an 80e from an 01 aurora this weekend
i am hopeing for 3.48'* but maybe it will have the 3.71 gears
i have been looking at it carefully and i think that a 3.71 rear and 3.48 front would work the best since the rear is bottom end/launching while the front is for DD and topend of the track...
we will be using this as an excuse to run motorplates and get rid of the upper W body Tq links...hell at least it means the cg is lower...a little lol
looks like we will be getting it for ~ 151$ with converter, but we may grab the inner tulips and mounts if they look useable to us
what do you think about the later internal range switches? is there a way to convert it to internal to remove the possibility of heat damage of the external setup (i can make some thermal shields but i figured i'd ask
from one overkill guy to another thanks! your project cemented what we want for the 442...4 wheel burnouts with no loss of reliability
