Well after a few months of trying to figure out what direction I wanted to go with my next project. I decided I wanted to stay turbo but with a twist, big block, blow thru. Ive never seen a big block turbo street car in person. So I started looking and talking to people about 460 based engines and feel its the best route for me to go. Now all needed was the perfect car. A buddy of mine knew where a 89 5.0 hatch was sitting in a field and said it needed a good home (before it ended up in the shredder). So we went and checked it out and damn it was ugly peeling blue paint, surface rust on the roof, and a two piece hatch LOL. After the gentelman gave me a price I could not refuse some of the Mafia members and myself loaded it up (thats a whole different story in its self). Once I got all the grass and weeds and dried mud off of it today I was rather pleased with the condition of the car. The underside is 100% rust free and so is the engine bay. The body is dent free and only has minor surface rust here and there. So now to the topic at hand. My plans for the car is this:
557 Stroker with ported Trick flow A-460 heads and intake
CSU blow thru carb and fuel system
Wolfe cage and mini tubs
UPR suspension
Power Glide trans
Garret 91mm turbo
And keep the car street legal.
As for the name Sherman, This thing is going to have the TQ of a tank and the paint job to match. Plated and I have came up with a very unique paint job that I think will be very cool so stay tuned. My goal is to have this thing done by 09.
