87 Shelby Z

[Rampage16V]

HI
Had this car for a while now. Its an 87 Shelby Z will be putting a 2.4 turbo into it. I have bought a set of eagle rods and JE pistons for it. The 2.4 I have is an 05 Stratus r/t motor. Still looking for a fiberglass hood for the car if anyone has one....
Car will be mega squirted. I have a 8.75" diff with 4.10 gears and spool with strange axles. Adapter for 999 trans, trans, and rear sub frame for it. Hopefully will get to it soon.

[turbovanman²]

Sounds like a wicked project. RWD should be fun, :thumb:

[BadAssPerformance]

Cool project Dean! ... pics? ;)

I've been wanting to make a glass or CF cowl hood for a few years... flat hoods are easy to get from HarryGlass, Glastek, etc. but gotta make a mold to get a cowl the way I want it...

[spoolinhard]

My dad has a fiberglass hood with the rediculous scoop off of a super stock daytona. $200, if you want it PM me.

[Rampage16V]

Today I finally got some work done on the rwd daytona. Cut the back out still some trimming to do , Got the rear subframe under the car looks cool.

That is just sick! Good progress. This doesn't mean the Rampage is retired does it?

[Ondonti]

What size are those slicks?

[Rampage16V]

What size are those slicks?

Slicks are 29.0x11 but on 8 " rims looking for 10" welds and some 25-26in tall front runners I have 28" fronts new to trade or 14x32 goodyears on welds to trade too.

[Rampage16V]

Tonight Chris and Scott pulled out the windshield for me. Last night I pulled the dash and wiring out of it and the hood and nose off of it. Threw out the wiper assembly and vacummed all the leaves and crap out of it. Picked up some 25 inch tall front runners. So once the wheels are back on it I'll get it on the hoist and work on the frame rails from underneath.

Next is the trans tunnel cut out and placing the mock up engine and trans in place. I left the side door bars out for now.

Welcome to G-bodies :clap:

[turbo2point2]

Wow, sweet project Dean!:thumb::thumb:

Gonna make it a 25.5 chassis?

[Rampage16V]

this is low budget so probably not :)

[ohiorob]

looking good. I almost sold my adapter several times but i think about your project and it stops me from making that mistake. any idea when you'll have it up and running.

[omni_840]

Cool project! Looking forward to updates:nod:

[Rampage16V]

looking good. I almost sold my adapter several times but i think about your project and it stops me from making that mistake. any idea when you'll have it up and running.
Well I already have a almost new stratus r/t motor and rods and pistons for it. I could send it out and get the machine work done while i'm fabing mounts. I have my header flange already, an HX40 holset and intercooler, trans tunnel from a supercoupe thunderbird looks like its going to work out well. If I can keep up the momentum who knows.....sooner or later I'll run out out of money to buy stuff I'm going to be needing to keep working on it but for right now I have alot of stuff to keep going on it. I have over 80 pics on facebook of it so far.

[Rampage16V]

installed the engine cross member tonight. Just have to do some welding underneath then the motor mounts are next

[Rampage16V]

Pics of the engine mounts fabbed up. I welded .25" thick tubes inside the cross member so the motor mount bolts cannot crush the cross member.

[Rampage16V]

Pic of rear brakes

[Speedeuphoria]

Nice work!!
Any goals on a 1/4 time?

You'll have to get used to going out of the hole with the "All of It" boost setting, LOL

[Rampage16V]

I want to have it make at least the power the rampage did

[rx2mazda]

Wow, awesome PLOG!

[Rampage16V]

Well I pulled the 05 mex stratus turbo engine apart and it has the older smaller oil pump and no oil squirters. Also the bed plate is broken so I will be using the mock up motor for the race block. I found that a liberty oil pump has the oil filter boss on the right side and faces forward so I've ordered one. That should clear my front cross member but I still don't know if it is the larger capacity pump til i get it. I'm using the steel liberty rwd oil pan and I'll have to raise the motor a bit so it will clear the steering rack. Hope the engine doesn't stick out of the hood!!

[turbokid]

Wow looks like its coming along very well

[Rampage16V]

I redid the front motor mounts and now the stock liberty rwd pan fits there like it was factory.
Got my drive shaft and new slicks

[Aries_Turbo]

dang dean, that looks great!

[Rampage16V]

Pulled the diff out last night it's 4.56 geared! This will be fun! 28.5x10.5 slick

AM$ flange?

Yes ams bought it off ebay

Chubbin.....need more pics!

[Rampage16V]

Some pics of the header I have 2 primary pipes done but not welded to the head flange yet.

Yeah I've been there almost 8 years but still on the bottom of the union seniority list

[Reeves]

Header looks KILLLER!!!

Out of curiosity....why did you decide to put the turbo in that spot?

[Rampage16V]

I was thinking ease of installation and exiting the exhaust in front of the pass front wheel

[Reeves]

Cool! :thumb:

[Rampage16V]

I got some work done to the "Z" today

[glhs0426]

Beautiful, just beautiful. With the hook of the RWD and the 2.4/Holset combo 9's are in the bag. What is the et goal? 8's and bracket racing?

But why waste your time with a wastegate? :eyebrows:

I can always put a bolt inside it haha! Put a polish on the header tonight:eyebrows:

I guess the light reflection off the header won't take good pictures? Come on, we're dying out here.

haha ok here they are.
Also finished welding it. Wish I could start over would be prettier.

[Reeves]

That's one beautiful piece right there!!!!

:nod:

[Rampage16V]

Tonight I pulled the n/a block out of the car and put the straps on the mains and drilled out the block for the turbo drain...I thought about the oil squirters but chickened out on them lol. So the block crank rods and pistons are all ready to go to the machine shop. :) hot tub time :)

[contraption22]

Awesome work Dean. Its impressive how much room you have when you free yourself from the contraints of FWD.

[Rampage16V]

No new pictures to report . But I've ordered the trans brake, and converter, I have the drive shaft loops installed and floor braced , rear tubs are in just tidying up the rear sheet metal, Block is back from the machine shop, everything balanced up mint. Ordered a water to air intercooler off of ebay not sure i'll use it though.

[Reeves]

What trans you going with?

[Rampage16V]

I'm using a 999 trans

[Reeves]

I'm using a 999 trans

Oops...I see that in your first post now.

What is a 999 trans?

[fleckster]

An A999 transmission is what is refered to as a "Hemi" style A904. It is a slightly beefier A904 that has an added clutch disc (5 right?). They came out for the heavier 360 2bbl cars in the mid to late '70s. They were used up until the end of the RWD cars in '89 in the M Body Fifth Avenues/Diplomats/Gran Furys. There was also an A998 which was another slight variation.

[Reeves]

Ah. Cool! Thanks for clearing that up for me Fleck!

[Rampage16V]

Trans laid out on bench! Just have to take my time and put it together.

[Rampage16V]

These are pics of front clutch drum with aftermarket return spring. Transbrake , Low first gear, steel planet carriers, I also counter sunk the 2 bolts that go into the 2.4 block from the adapter.

[Reeves]

Looking Great dude.

Where did you get that adapter plate?
Do they make a 2.2/2.5 version?

[Rampage16V]

Got it from Anthony Appuzzo (turboColt)from Conneticut. If you just have to change one dowel there is alot of meat on it to adapt it.

[Rampage16V]

Thanks DJ.
I'm gonna use a Holset hx40. Header length a little of both. I have a few pics of the header on the north south fwd mopar pro neon (Shawn Carson's car?). Seems like its taking me forever. Always stuff to do around the house!

Dean, What did you do with the rear hatch? Everything looks killer!

[135sohc]

The torqueflite looks right at home in there. Are you using the wide ratio 999 or the standard 2.45/1.45 ?

[Rampage16V]

I was going to but my billet front drum only fits the 2.45 sungear. plus the car has 4.56 gears in it too so first may turn out to be useless

[Rampage16V]

Just starting to set cam timing.

[BadAssPerformance]

Sweet! Can't wait to see it at SDAC-22! I see you're using the turbo motor this time... cool

[Rampage16V]

Yeah my turbo block was fubarred I had to drill out that drain. It's going to a spit tank. Actual turbo drain is in the front of the pan.

[Rampage16V]

Just finished up the mounting for the coil on plug coils. There are 2 directly above valve cover bolts. For those I used a turbo 2.2 timing cover/rocker cover bolt. The other 2 pedastils are bolted from underneath. Coils are from a 2008 Charger 3.5. Motor will be going in today :)

[Reeves]

Looks great Dean.....looks like they are supposed to be there.

When is the initial fire up?

Got a little more done. Flange welded on the rad tank, a thermostat block off plate with a weld bung for upper rad hose still have to cut it to shape,brake lines done,v band flange on intercooler,and piping still to do.

[Khajjathefang]

that is schmexy

[Force Fed Mopar]

That exhuast setup is insane lol.

[Reeves]

Looks badazz Dean!!!!

How did you mount the fan to radiator?

What size AN fitting are you using on radiator?

[Rampage16V]

Looks badazz Dean!!!!
thanks

How did you mount the fan to radiator?
push through clips which I'm not too fussy about but the weight of the fan is sitting on the lower tank.

What size AN fitting are you using on radiator? its 3/4 npt into the rad to 16 an hose. I'm trying to make an aluminum adapter to go behind the water pump

[Reeves]

Yeah, I'm not too fond of the push through straps either. I've had them rub holes in the rows before.....sucks when you are at the track.

I'm currently mounting a custom aluminum radiator and was just curious.

[Rampage16V]

I have a few of the lugs that bolt to the rad and slide into the fan. I'm gonna try and weld some lugs on the rad to mount them that way if they fit this fan

[Rampage16V]

So far I've only found three fan pedastils I put them down somewhere !!! I've seen them in a blister pack card at the speed shop. I'll buy a set if I have too. I had to drive home from the track with a leaky rad once too.

[phil howard]

BITCHIN'! Phenomenal craftsmanship. You've inspired me to get out in the garage!

Got the brakes bled and working, Rad mounted waiting on fittings to make up the hoses,Shift lite and shift lite oil light in ...gotta go big on the oil light right!! ^^

[shelbymonster]

thats some good car porn !!!

[Rampage16V]

Made up the rad hoses and assembled the fuel pressure reg and measure up for fuel lines. Ordered some pieces to finish fuel cell

[cordes]

I can't wait to see this thing.

That thing looks mean as all get out. Very cool.

[16valvecharger]

Pictures do this build no justice. I saw this thing in person last weekend and let me tell you ITS A BEAST!!!!

[Rampage16V]

Got the battery mounted switch figured out.

[Rampage16V]

Throttle done . I used a Lokar cable worked great with the mustang throttle body and chrysler pedal

[ohiorob]

Is it running yet.

[BadAssPerformance]

Is it running yet.

How about now?

LOL, sorry had to say it... Take your time, it's coming along nicely! Just gotta have it ready by SDAC so we can do the big red car race ;)

Awesome, :thumb: sounds like it has compression, lol.

Maybe its the angles but is the exhaust pipes out far enough? Looks a bit close to the front tire?

[Reeves]

Any word on trans?

[Rampage16V]

The Trans was the front planet carrier. Aluminium hub stripped out. I was planning to use the low gear set which has a steel hub on the front planet carrier but the sun gear bell was a larger dia. then my the billet front clutch drum I bought. So against my better judgement I installed the alum hub front planetary gear set and sun gear to go with it. Since pulling it out Friday I found that sun gear bell that fits both the low gear set and my front clutch drum. Trans is back in. I'm picking up my coil over springs tonight. Got the windshield installed Friday.

[Reeves]

Awesome! Glad you got it figured out. So.....need more pics and/or video. You got 2 weeks still!

[Rampage16V]

Been really busy at home but have been picking away....the auto tune on ms3x kicks butt!!

[omni_840]

Looks great Dean! How are you auto tuning? Just riding around on some back roads? This is where a load cell would come it really handy. :)

[Rampage16V]

So far just at idle. I'm gonna wait til the doors are on before it leaves the driveway

hehe I was gonna ask if there was a fwd class...but I guess I mean a 4 cylinder class!!

I should have the hatch finished tomorrow. I hinged the bottom of the back window to flip up for fueling.
Then it the hood which I've already trimmed just got to pin it on. I have my door hinge kit now so it won't be too long :)

[Rampage16V]

Hatch done. there is a pic of the door hinges here. Gonna work on the hood this weekend!

[turboshad]

I'm diggin it! That looks great Dean. Clean and simple. :thumb:

[moparjon2007]

That's an awesome idea to fuel. But I noticed in the first pics the panel is clear, then painted. Thinking for painted is?

[Rampage16V]

Painted just to trim it out!

Got the doors on and checked it over going to take it to Moparfest tomorrow!

[Rampage16V]

One winder in.
