Honestly a brand new S60 from Strange is 3K +/- through Doctor Diff is hard to beat. I just picked mine up last week.

What’s the sense of running a turbo just to drive around?

They don’t work very well if you Autocross, drag race, or drive aggressively on winding roads

The stock tank doesn’t have a “well” for the pump to pick up from so with less than 1/4 tank fuel sloshing could allow the pump to suck air.

I’d recommend a tank from Tanks inc in Iowa. They make a nice replacement tank with a well for an EFI pump

My RobbMc starter showed up, got my bellhousing and block saver back from powder coating the second time. I had it done when I was planning on running a 833 with a gear vendors, but ended up modifying it for my TKX, and added weld nuts to the block saver so I don’t have to do nuts and bolts if...

I have a 4 post lift and figured I can have more roomunder the car to bolt the K frame and trans crossmember in

I’ve put my powder coaster’s kids through med school lol

My take on a stand. Added front and rear supports to hold a bare K frame, and support the engine with no transmission. (The box tube at the back is a short center spine to swap in for storage, makes the stand 2’ deep to take up less space)

Yeah, I missed that. Myself, I’d still get a replacement block and move my parts over. Save the original block and pickle it.

Is it the numbers matching engine? If not, I’d pick up another 383 or 400 block and use it.

I bought a cheap spool of vacuum hose and connected it to a running car, through my garage window and tested the full operation of everything on my bench.

Do you like shifting or not? That is the big question. I went with a TKX behind my 470 with TFS heads as my last build had a 727 with a loose converter (turbo Action J) I prefer the feel of a locked up clutch over a slipping converter around town. The Silver Sport TKX needs no floor mods other...

When I saw them polished on another car, I liked the shape and thought they would look good color matched to the engine, I’m happy with the results. Same with the color, I wanted a turquoise like a 66 383 would have been but changed it up a little with a different shade

Waiting on my bellhousing at the Powder coater, found a molded hose for my breather, and a sneak peek at my TKX. Got word from Strange that my Dana 60 will be ready to pick up next week..
