So after toying with theidea of selling the FC's and building a budget turbo setup for the sentra, I decided to just stick with the FC's atleast a little longer. I recently picked up a a deccent shortblock 302 and a t5 and a king cobra clutch so I guess the build is back on.
Right now Ive got to focus on rebuilding this shortblock on the cheap or finding a running JY engine. Im leaning towards a JY engine because I dont have any accessories or brackets for this shortblock and I dont really want to find them piece by piece. Things like alternator brackets, pulleys, wp, etc. If any of you guys got misc 302 parts laying around let me know. I also am looking for a cheap set of pistons if anybody has any recomendations Id appreciate it, would prefer something in the forged variety and fairly mild compression. The key word in this buildis CHEAP lol, Im not looking for monstrous power right now, just something to get it moving.
Im also trying to figure out how I want to run this clutch in this thing. The FC comes with a typical hydrolic clutch setup and would need to be uprgraded to larger/ stronger parts to work with the stang clutch. What Im thinking about doing is maybe trying to weld a cable clutch quadrant to the top of the FC pedal and runnning an adjustable cable which I think would probably be alot cheaper but, that type of modifying is something Im kind of a noob at.
I guess Im just looking for input/ ideas and cheap parts if you got them.
Love always,
Wonderboy
PS: Sorry if that was alot of rambling but, Ive got alot of ideas floating in my head right now.
