My 72 Comet Build.....

Thanks…..

 

Haven't been doing much on the car, went to a couple swap meets the last couple weekends..... I did get the rear end all back together..... I also got the trans case mocked up in the car to check clearance for the cooler pressure bypass valve.....

 

Keep up the good work Frank.

 

Still slow going update, finally got the trans back together..... It's back in the car but not completely hooked up yet.....

 

You're moving faster than I am!

 

All back together again..... Drove it to work today for the first time in a long time..... Going back to the track on Wed nite and we will see what happens.....

 

I did get back to the track on Wed nite..... Made 3 passes getting more aggressive with each one..... The last pass was the fastest, it went a 1.46 60ft and 6.11@115.39..... Still leaving off the footbrake..... The converter slippage is just under 15% with this converter, I sure it will be better in the quarter at a higher rpm..... It goes through in the 1/8th right at 5400.....

It made a peak of 20psi but trails down to just under 17 by the shift.... I guess I need to get some kind of boost control on this thing so it maintains a steady boost level.....

3 passes with no breakage or problems, that's different..... It did have a little vibration when I was driving home I still need to check out..... One of the new rear tires did balance kind of shitty, after 3 burnouts/passes I think I will recheck them.....

 

DO OVER!!!!!

 

Uh oh, what happened?

 

Some people just cant leave things alone. lol Hard to believe you have 100 pages on this build and a little over 6 years

 

Getting a Boss 9 motor from John Kaase?

 

Makes me feel like quite the slacker.

 

Just was not consistent leaving when time rounds starts getting short..... If it doesn't leave consistent reactions times are hard to control..... Things need to change.....

Zackly, and yes that's a lot of pages over 6 years.....

Umm, no..... though that would be nice.....

I feel like quite the slacker lately, it's just been sitting there for a little over a month.....

 

I googled "ls swap maverick" and this thread came up. That sir is one impressive build!
Your fortitude is inspiring, if I could just get my hands to do what you do.
quite the long read at 100 pages, but worth it.
Have it back together yet? It is race season!

 

Thanks!!!!!
