Re: my shelby charger build thread,

ok got more done today i got the turbo adapter made and finished and bolted on, so far it looks good and should work good, and i also got the dash out and swapped for a good one out of my parts car that is slowly dying lol, but its a good harness as the one in the car had some wires cut and i wasnt dealing with that,

Re: my shelby charger build thread,

Re: my shelby charger build thread,

ah i just go with the flow lol if i go into planing to much i will forget things. i just go with what happens, i know now i have to figure out the shifter and dash wiring to see if its the same between the 85 and my 87 parts car,

Re: my shelby charger build thread,

you want to stay with LM ? i did swap wiring on my 86 sc and was running a smec ...

 

[Turbomini]

Re: my shelby charger build thread,

its a long storie but i made a throttle body that uses the 87 style iac and tps for the older wirring with the newer intake, i will post pictuers in a few,
