Parting out car and going different route
After pushing the stock block for all she was worth, it finally blew on me at the FFW Norwalk event. I was able to push it to 11.02 and I am sure it had more in it, but after blowing I felt like going with a unique project.
Plans are in motion for a GT500 5.4 4V engine, new PowerHouse turbo, 4r70 trans, roll cage and supporting mods.
Gotta love the 4.0 engine though. I think this is a great V6 engine and the et's that people are starting to see out of them are staggering. With a built shortblock I think mid 10's was easy pickin's if I would have stayed this route.
I am parting out the car at this point to clear the way for the new setup:
Complete PowerHouse Intercooled Turbo kit - PH will pack and ship the complete kit. Had installed for 8 months, went 11.9 on turbo & stock block. This includes everything. For more details check out http://www.powerhouse411.com/ or call Mike (814) 774-4966. Retail: $5200 Price is $4400
PH alum. driveshaft - installed for 4 months. Retail: $520 Price: $375 SALE PENDING
JBA Ceramic Coated Shorty Headers - installed for 4 months Retail: $640 Price: $350
Midwest Plenum Cover - Custom painted silver w/ black ribs. 2 ribs have scuffs from my Steeda hood rubbing, but shouldn't be hard to touch up. Retail: $174 Price $75 SALE PENDING
Complete rear 7.5 Tlok/3.73 gears $200 SALE PENDING
Powdercoated valve covers - SOLD
I can't supply pics at this time as the car is sitting up at their shop, but feel free to visit my garage at the 4.0 Collective site or contact Mike @ PowerHouse about anything listed above.
All shipping will be done by PowerHouse. Feel free to contact me for details or inquiries or call PowerHouse at the above number.[/align][/align]I will try to keep updates for the swap as soon as we get things in full swing on it.[/align]

Wow Lance! A 5.4L built turbo will certainly be a "unique project". That wife of yours is VERY understanding. Keep us posted with pics if you can while the car undergoes its transformation.

It should make for an interesting project and I am really anxious to see the results with the PH turbo on it. I only wish the kit I had would work with it, but it is sized to mate up with the 4.0

RE: Parting out car and going different route
Where are you located?
I am definitely interested in the 3.73 t-loked 7.5" rear and can offer a bit more than $200 for it.
I am ready to buy 4.10's and a t-lok so I can pay a bit more than your asking price if you are located within driving distance.
I'm in NY on long island...
Thanks!

jk, good luck with the 5.4 project man, that is gonna be insane. i thought you had swapped out the 7.5 for an 8.8"...? are you planning on keeping that? I doubt you are gonna want to if you are going turbo 5.4. You are gonna need a strong 9" for the kind of power you are gonna be putitng down. you're easily gonna be in the high hundreds possibly touching 4 digits if you really go for it. that is just gonna be insane!

I will just girdle the 8.8, Mike seems to think the 9" is overkill at this point. If anything I will gradually build power on it anyhow and can cross these bridges when I come to them.
