So, what engine ya runnin in the Shelby Cobra?

Re: My 67 SWB BoostedC10 (LQ4 S475)
 

Thanks, I am hopeing the grey looks as good on the real truck as it does in my rendering!

Thanks Mike, cant wait to be on the road with it like you! Might have to make a road trip to meet you in person when shes done!

Haha if I had it my way it would have an LS too! For now my kid is stuck with the eCobra!

Re: My 67 SWB BoostedC10 (LQ4 S475)
 

You goin green on us? ;) You will be redeemed if you post a vid of that motor firing up!

Re: My 67 SWB BoostedC10 (LQ4 S475)
 

Fallowing looks really good so far

Re: My 67 SWB BoostedC10 (LQ4 S475)
 

watchin

Re: My 67 SWB BoostedC10 (LQ4 S475)
 

It will be a few before that happens, but don't you worry I will ;)

Thanks

Just don't watch in my windows and we're good lol!

Re: My 67 SWB BoostedC10 (LQ4 S475)
 

Nice build. Looking forward to progress. I'm build 67 swb worth small back window. 5.3 s475 80e and narrow 9 inch

Re: My 67 SWB BoostedC10 (LQ4 S475)
 

Can't wait to see that motor fire! YouTube Video a must!

Great Work!

Re: My 67 SWB BoostedC10 (LQ4 S475)
 

i am planning on running an s475 as well but havent gotten to it yet since my swap isnt finished yet.....hopefully in a couple weeks when i can find time to work on the truck.

Re: My 67 SWB BoostedC10 (LQ4 S475)
 

Thanks guys, going through the trans now. I will make sure I have a few of it up and running and on the dyno!

Re: My 67 SWB BoostedC10 (LQ4 S475)
 

You running a T6 1.32? My swap is far from done but I bought the turbo long ago to keep me on track :metal:

Re: My 67 SWB BoostedC10 (LQ4 S475)
 

will more than likely run the 1.32. my truck will be a driver 95% of the time so i'm wanting lower full boost rpm and cant find anything definitive between that and the 1.10 for a daily driver with a 4l80e. lol

Re: My 67 SWB BoostedC10 (LQ4 S475)
 

Wow, beautiful work. Your attention to detail is amazing. I look forward to watching this come together.

What are you running for an engine and trans controller? Are you using a megasquirt, reflashed stock ecu, or other?

What are your plans for the hot side of the turbo? Headers or flipped truck manifolds?

I am in the process of collecting all the parts for my turbo 5.3 ls swap. So I am trying to learn all I can before I get too far.

Matt

Re: My 67 SWB BoostedC10 (LQ4 S475)
 

Thanks Matt I appreciate it.

For the hot side I am building headers for it since I need to clear the ac. I will probably run the Holley efi since it can do trans too even though I have 2 411 stock pcms and hptuners. Just like the Holley better because I am able to run the big injectors and it has meth and turbo provisions.

Re: My 67 SWB BoostedC10 (LQ4 S475)
 

Bump!

Re: My 67 SWB BoostedC10 (LQ4 S475)
 

Tyler thanks for the bump. At SEMA all week getting some new ideas for the truck :) and finally meeting some of the guys from the boards in person

Re: My 67 SWB BoostedC10 (LQ4 S475)
 

I was hoping for progression but SEMA is cool too. i believe my neighbor shawn of SPC interiors is at SEMA currently if you see him tell him I said hi. I expect good ideas and someone asking for late night help when hes bored when he gets back.

Re: My 67 SWB BoostedC10 (LQ4 S475)
 

Are all the members from here planning on meeting Thursday or Friday somewhere at SEMA ?

Re: My 67 SWB BoostedC10 (LQ4 S475)
 

Haven't heard of anything official but if I do I will let you know. If you hear anything let me know here if you want.

Re: My 67 SWB BoostedC10 (LQ4 S475)
 

Sent you a PM

Re: My 67 SWB BoostedC10 (LQ4 S475)
 

I hope you take imitation aw a form of flattery, because I want to copy as much of your motor/turbo set up as possible!

What size fuel and return line are you going to run? Are you going to run stainless hard line or something else?

How about the down pipe after the turbo, what size/muffler are you using and where do you plan to route your exhaust. For ground clearance I am planning on going through the cross-member then out the side of the bed in front of the rear wheels. Is there any advantage of doing dual exhaust over single?

Thanks,

Matt

Re: My 67 SWB BoostedC10 (LQ4 S475)
 

Matt I take it as flattery dont worry.

For the fuel system I am running an A1000 with a -10 feed and -8 return. I have short runs of Russel Pro-Classic line at the tank and up to the rail, the rest of the fuel system is aluminum line.

My plan for the exhaust is to actually go off the back of the turbo, over the frame rail in the engine compartment and run down the out side of the frame rail then out the front side of the bed.

Not sure on a muffler yet but I did like the sound of the 14 inch Magnaflow I had on my other turbo truck.

IMO running a dual exhaust on a single turbo is just a waste of tubing, as long as the down-pipe is sized properly.

Re: My 67 SWB BoostedC10 (LQ4 S475)

Thanks for the info. What I have read about the down tube, bigger is better. This is obviously a tradeoff of packaging and power. How do you know what is big enough for the down pipe. I am planning on running a 76mm turbo, specifically the setup sloppy mechanic has on his site? https://sites.google.com/site/sloppywiki/home

Re: My 67 SWB BoostedC10 (LQ4 S475)
 

I'm assuming you are running the On3 76mm with the .96 a/r exhaust housing Matt has used on quite a few builds.

If that is the case the general rule of thumb for the exhaust is 1.25 x turbine exducer. That turbo has a 65mm turbine exducer so 1.25 x 65 gives you an optimal exhaust size of 81.25mm (3.2 inches). This is just a little over 3" but not quite 3.5". If it was me I would run the 3.5 and call it a day.

Sorry for all the math but this question gets asked a lot and I figured I would share an easy way of figuring it out and make it useful for others.

Re: My 67 SWB BoostedC10 (LQ4 S475)
 

Just about time to build the hot side of my set up. Motor is almost complete.
