Well, I'm new to the mod section of the forums, but not to the classics section. I haven't been active on the forum since I sold my fastback and was sent to iwakuni via the marine corps. I'm back in the south now and have picked up an 01' GT in the 5-speed flavor, she's got some supercharged snot via a Saleen roots type blower and accompanying intercooler and engine controls from an SCT tune with 6lbs all around, 350rwhp, 3.73:1 gears out back. Suspension is stock. I've got an interesting little problem...it huffs some oil when you really stand on it in a tall gear (4th or 5th). Has anyone come across this before? And what's the damage as far as a fix to the problem goes. Also, I've been thinking and contemplating...I do believe a 4V swap is coming on. Anyone know what's necessary to facilitate this? Special K-member and suspension? Is it drop in easy? Anyone ever tackled it? And as for fuel system upgrades (it'll end up with a 2.8 kenne bell after it gets forged guts, good cams in 4V heads) that can handle the power increase the 4V's are capable of when bigger boost is involved?

A 4V will drop right in with little to no modifications. You will likely want to go with a C headed motor which started in 1999. If you forge the internals, the skys the limit on power. Heck, if you get an 03/04 cobra motor, it will have forged internals stock.

Nice build plans. any interest in selling that salleen charger?

Thanks...surprisingly enough...it's not the swap I'm really bothered by. It's this oil issue with the current 2V set up. Any ideas?

boss_dude_429

I may let it go once I do the head swap after the next deployment

Nice plans! I'll be subscribing to this thread to keep track of the progress. BTW Semper Fi!!!!! I was in Oki from 02-04...and I'm back in Japan (Northern) as a contractor. Love this country!

RAH DEVIL!! Sgt. Ross, 1/9 bravo co. Lol any help on the current sitrep with the oil consumption would help

boss_dude_429

It'll probably get sold as soon as my 4V swap and kenne bell swap is done and tuned. I like roots vs. screw-type supers...I grew up driving a 70' fastback w/ a blown real deal 8V-71 with 4-port Hilborn injection Boss 429 to high school back in the day...I must admit...I miss the simplicity of mechanical fuel injection

YUT!!!! Sgt. Gregory (Ramsey now-a-days lol), MCTSSA Camp Pendleton. As far as the oil, maybe an old gasket, or something loose?

Are u sure its oil as not fuel? Pretty common for it to puff roch fuel smoke wide open being supercharged, if not its probably a little oil blowby through the pcv system upon boost
