    tt 5.0

    if your too lazy to read this long-ass post i italicized my questions

    well there was a slight alteration to the tt 5.0 concept, instead of going into the lincoln, it's going into a 68 mustang me and my dad are going to build next summer (he's building a model "A" this summer). It should be happier in there anyways. For now, im just going to fantasize about a Y-block for the lincoln in the semi-distant future while it lives as an every-day driver.

    the real reason i posted this is because i can't find shit for turbo 5.0, information. For most of the parts im just going as if i was bolting on a supercharger as information for that is relatively easy to find. to end a wordy post short what kind of cam do you guys think would be appropriate for this? were trying to get some serious ass-haul while still being at least 85% streetable. thats why the choice of turbos over the originally intended supercharger that was destined for that car.

    so far i've found a combo with:
    .25" 4340 forged stroker crank
    matching lightwieght forged i-beam rods
    forged inverted dome pistons
    roush 200 cylinder heads

    this would give me a base compression of 8.1:1
    which leads to problem #2
    i have no idea how much boost im going to get out of these (if you don't remember i was planing on using two turbos off of 2.3L fords)

    help would be appreciated

    HUH? where are you searching. There are TONS of info on a bunch of sites....
    turbomustangs.com, corral.net are two great sites for info.

    The stock HO cam works very well with turbos.

        Do you have any information on the turbos that were in the 2.3L Mustang? Keep in mind that just because you're doubling the size of the engine, doesn't mean two turbos from an engine half the size will work perfectly.

        I live, breathe, and work with turbochargers everyday (mostly on diesels, but same difference) and I hoped to plug and chug some 302/351 engine data on the side. A co-worker has two project Mustangs (302) he's done. One is a twin turbo setup, the other is a massive single stage turbo on a hot 347 strokah engine. He's always a good person to ask questions to.

          The 2.3 turbos work, the hitachis are a bit small for a 302(87-88 turbocoupe), but will work-and spool really quickly. The .63 hot side T-3's are the better choice, and are easiy upgradeable. I had a Holset H1E for my project that got scrapped. Even 2 dodge 5.9 diesel hx35's work good in a TT setup, one can be used, if you don't want much HP...
