NEW PB 10.47@133 Enjoying the 545 in the coupe!

I am just getting used to the 545 in the coupe and recently got a chance to run it at the strip and on a chassis dyno. Would be interested in hearing from guys with a similar set up.
Factory 460 block
Scat 4.5in stroker crank
6.8in Eagle H-beam rods
Probe pistons
Comp cams XR292R roller cam
Blue thunder chev exhaust aluminium heads
Edelbrock Victor manifold
BG 1050 Race Demon
Try-Y headers into 2.5in twin system

Car weighs about 3750lbs
Recently ran 7.025 @99.15mph with a 1.647 60ft

GT-351, eh?

Beautiful car.

That's a cool looking ride. I really like the nice clean engine bay. Are those Australian Fords like your car the same as a Torino here in the US? It seems like header availability would be a little tough with right hand drive...

coupe545 · Apr 25, 2008

Sort of a cross between the torino and 71-73 stangs. Headers for the standard factory heads are available "off the shelf" to suit the Aussie falcons along with engine mounts for the conversion.

Someone bring me a towel. I just drooled all over myself like a baby. Love seeing rides that clean. Being here in the states it is different to see being Mustnag from doors forward and Torino from roof back. Great job on the car.

Nice clean ride. Great job. I like the body color in the engine compartment.

StephenW · Apr 25, 2008

Nice job! You've done yourself proud.

Jerry, Australian cars almost always have body colour engine bays.

Couple more pix.
Drags was a few years ago with 460ci, D0VE heads and 242 hydraulic cam. Best 12.02 @115mph.
Fighter pix has "not" been photoshopped to make it that colour, I turned up on the day and they were using plane for photo shoot at the air base!!!

Your car is wicked nice, and I love the widened steelies 8) !

droppedf100 · Apr 25, 2008

That car is sweet looking. I like the stock wheels, too. The 60ft seems kinda slow. Whats the gear/converter/tires?

Guest · Apr 25, 2008

That is one Bad A$$ looking car !!!

AmericanIdle · Apr 25, 2008

Is that a pretty streetable cam?

AmericanIdle · Apr 25, 2008

What were the dyno numbers? Beautiful car!

coupe545 · Apr 25, 2008

Devildog · Apr 26, 2008

Man that is sweet!

BBsteve · Apr 26, 2008

wooooow!

gregaust · Apr 26, 2008

Very nice mate .. I went and got perf ford mag the other week just to see your car . Quite a nice setup . Looks Tough as .

462 RWHP is very tough too . Just curious .The 2.5" pipes i thought may be bit small. What size extractors do you have in tri-y's? I have similar setup and use 3.5" pipes ,tri-y's 2" to 2.75" to 3.5" merge collectors . Same cam and SCJ heads with 1050 Dominator + 521/ C4 10:1 pump fuel streeter :lol:

coupe545 · Apr 27, 2008

JC10000RPM- the Probe pistons are part no.12397-030 and have a dish of 18.5cc.

Gregaust- The headers are the pacemaker try-y (2in primary and 2-1/4 secondary) and have hade the flange changed to suit the chev exhaust ports and collectors are now 3in. The 2-1/2in system is still on there from the old 460, an upgrade is definately the next item on the shopping list.

luv it

great looking car. have you had it down the full qtr yet. how much different does it feel from your previous combo

BlownShotGun · Apr 27, 2008

Well done.
Which track did you race it on?
Very good MPH, i think you will see the ET
drop below the 6's with that MPH.
Hope to see you on the streets soon.

Raced in Mildura at Easter. Would love to do the full 1/4 but no where to go!!!! Nothing here in Adelaide for the next couple of years, Calder on and off again and Heathcote cancelling all further racing till further notice!!!

Anyone else out there got some 1/8mile times for a 3800lb car?

the608 · Apr 27, 2008

Very nice

Edit.

Beaut car - just love the hard-top style, looks waay better than the four-doors.

Love your detailing too - there's too many cars around with glossy paint UNTIL you open the bonnet (hood for the USA guys) then they look like a vultures nest in the engine-bay.

finally enjoying the 545 in the coupe!
