'70 2002 widebody & M10 turbo project

[deutschman]

Are you guys going to beef up the rear end a bit? LSD and some thicker CVs?
Also dont forget to reinforce the factory drivers side engine mount. Mine snapped on me.

as it stands right now, I think Im going to put the original motor on megasquirt first. once thats going, it will get a turbo. Might sell the pistons, might just keep them for a NA build. At this point, I just want to figure out exactly what the specs are for the cam, and exactly what the pistons they are, etc. I dont want to blow the motor upright away

yess you made a thread, looks good so far!

I'm pretty bummed that we both got duped on the pistons. It's also pretty obvious that I haven't thought to even measure them since I got the whole package two years ago. I hope we can get it figured out, that 2002 deserves a beastly heart.

posting this over on the FAQ because it seems like the parts werent exactly as advertised and being a used setup that has changed hands a few times, Im trying to get the M10 experts to chime in.

Those look like 9.5 or 10.1 pistons. You could have the dome machined down to reduce compression.

Measure the pistons at the bottom of the skirts and report back, the top of the piston is always tapered smaller.

A 5 foot flame coming out the exhaust during shifts should do the trick.. :rofl:

Missing the giant turbo to do that.

please do. A wing/spoiler of some sort might make it not look so shaved

I agree that the back end went a little too far, especially when you compare it with the Orange one Above. He has something in mind but I'm not sure exactly what he will be doing but I'll do what i can to prevent it from going over the top.

Very cool! Definitely needs something to brake up the back end a bit. Looking a bit over shaved right now. Cant wait to see more!

Yes thats exactly it the back end seems to simple not like it should..

I'd do crosshairs on the headlights, too :D

I effing LOVE that car! As others have said, with the right poke and meaty tires on big wheels, that thing will be a killer! Looking forward to seeing more!

alpina wide body's are cool
