Will Our Swingvalve pieces Bolt On Ford Exhaust housing

[Juggy]

Will the Chryslers Swing valves (2.25, 2.5 or 3" TU) bolt onto a Ford exhuast housing???

I was looking at the bolt pattern and its very similar in the pics, has anyone tried this??? the wastegate hole appears to be close too

was thinking of using a Ford turd burd exhaust housing in replacement of my TD one, because I can find a .63 one, and T3 flanges are readily available, for header purposes.

No they wont bolt up, the hole pattern is different.

damnit, they look very similar!!!

im sure there is a place to buy an attachment for it....like a V band?? then get some sort of 3" custom mandrel Downpipe.....im sure that would flow really nice too

Check out atp turbo's site. They have a really nice v band singvalve housing for the ford turbo's. www.atpturbo.com

FM carries the Ford style SV and DP elbow. Thats what I am running on my turbo and a few TIII guys also use it.

that ATP thing looks really nice, looks like it would flow nice too, if I can find the ford .63 housing cheap enuff, Ill most likely go that route, would be a breeze to do things with the V bands....

Simon is what your reffering to as, whats in the pic for the enforcer 2 on the TIII motors?? the 2 1/2" swingvalve?? too bad they dont make them in 3", also would the stock DP from a TII car bolt right up?? or are the TIII downpipes different?

Yep, thats it. I know, all that R@D to make it and they go with 2 1/2 inch. I had my concerns but PAT and others on there R/T's have ran 11's and 12's withit so it must work.
Yep, it will bolt up to a reg DP, I have that on my 8V van,

Im gonna hit u up with a PM I have a couple other questions for you.

do u know the cost of it from FM by anychance??

also that 2.5" 90 elbow would surely flow more than a standard 2.5" garret chrysler swingvalve style....how would you compare it in flow to say the 3" TU one??

Ive dealt with FM and it took forever to get what i needed....im looking forward to dealing with TU in the very near future....

I guess it all comes down to what exhaust housing I get, the standard T3, or the chrysler one.....

Its in the link, I think it was $225 with no ox bung, $275 with it.

Went 12.0 @ 118 in a Spirit and 11.6 @ 120 in the Shadow with the FM piece. I wish it was 3", but the 2.5" seems to be working well.

No shit, at the very least, I wish we could bolt up a 3inch dp. I am going to have my buddy at his machine shop cut out the flange so I can run a 3 inch DP.

Thats too bad, for that much money you can get the .63 Dodge housing and bolt it on...

Not if you're running a T-III. Even if you modify the flange on the manifold to accept a Dodge bolt pattern, the flange angle on the T-III is very different from the flange angle on an 8v motor, meaning if you'd have to significantly alter the angle of the manifold flange to get the turbo to sit properly so the dodge swingvalve outlet was not pointed at the k frame.
