I see what your talking about that others don't.
A jeep in the sand is a HP robber. I know been there done that.
You Must have been thinking of new Axles cause you know they will say, C-ya with 350hp in the sand. well Mine did.. I do turbo V8's now and one in a jeep would be very cool. I can send you a list of parts you would need for a Turbo SBC V8. You are thinking how are you going to feed it.. Blow through 600 cfm EDE #1405 works fine with the Air gap 1500-6500 man, two T-3's are Easy to get and I have a dyno sheet with the 383 twin T-3's 491lbs torqu@2000RPM and max's to 746lbs@4500 and the power 337hp@3000rpm's and max is 708@5500rpms it is a hand full in the rain. but for the street going to the store my wife can drive it.
very smooth. here is your list of parts for it. Low Performance/Ported, Large Valves 202's, SRP Pistons 10.3 to 1 or less.40 or 50% Intercooler- I know it helped bigtime and water Inj, Performer cam/hyd. Air gap rpm a must have.
6deg Timing Adv. very low but it works cause there is so much torque $39ea, kit to boost in dash each. to 13lbs Boost.. My Turbo guy that rebuilds them got me these and yes you can run it down to 5 or 6 psi if you want for in town/hwy. 92oct. w/3" flow master’s And I build my own headers for my motors there easier than you think. Jegs.com has most of my parts that I buy and they have headman builders kits. The stock HEI works fine w/ a 48.000volt HEI coil, by MSD #121-8226..$38.99 for it. Because you are not revving up to 10 grand and the motor falls off it's face really fast after 6 grand...more like a rock off a cliff. I have done a sbc 400 with a roller cam .510 lift int, ex, w/ roller head rockers and every thing the same and it only gained Max 780@6000rpm and 866T@4500rpms and the 383 is in my 1987 El Camino with a Z28 front end and wheels ET DOT slicks in the rear. runs very well still and the only hard part that I have noticed it the jetting needs the next size up metering rods. Or more at times in Oregon., But It was Okay in Boise ID with stock, But I only get 12 mpg on the Hwy@65mph @2100rpm @ 6psi of boost. Don't ask me in town cause the little Fast and the want-to-be- Honda’s I like to eat up. I got it at 13psi all the time. More like 4 or 6mpg the way I drive. If you want to spend $1800 more you can get two RayJay 300F Turbo’s and look out. The 300F by RayJay is the KING of SBC- (Cause they Keep Reving to the Moon) World but the motors don't last as long But for drag only. We did a 454 with Dart heads w/345cc runners 2.30/1.88 vales .600 + roller cam. 950cfm new holly carb. #510-0-80577,Victor Man, " And you Know"…300F’s The Dyno only went to 1000hp and 1000Torque and was doing that @4000rpm. Ok $ my 383sbc with the Two Rebuild T-3s and in dash boost kit and welding my own headers up and all my parts and driving down the road is $4.863 for 700hp is not bad. But blowing 2 Turbo-350s Trans now is getting old but the 3rd, one in car now is a TCI's T-400 w/ tci's Brake-a-way anit-ballooning plate. Jags part #890-240901 $280 Now I really feel it and still going strong. Yes there is a 9” in the rear. Done broke every thing once or more but sure is fun doing it. My next truck is going to be a Jeep Grand-Ch, Mod frame and cut down 1 ton Axles and I am starting this on Jan/3rd/2004 w/ 360mopar motor Big valves 2.08 int heads and 4 T-3's..Yes "four"... Like I said there cheep but man do they work. But the rev-limiter will be set @ 4500rpms... It won't need any more. PS, If you go turbo and want more power. You can't run the Ede,1405 600cfm carb, More open heads like the Dart pro 1's and then we tryed the Holly 1000cfm MPI commander that works very well and it's Universal with any SBC SBF Mopar Ect, Part # 510-534-183 (and they make a 2000cfm too.) On a 5.0L 302 motor the is still good looking 1991 Mustang and it's HP Dyno is with 2 T-3's 973HP@7500rpm But now you are talking 3 times more $ than I We have in the El Camino. So your 700hp motor for your jeep is for real. Emails are ok to rossmanracing@hotmail.com
