1989 Ford Mustang GT Engine
You have to love the down-home engineering represented in this picture. Jeremy went to the junkyard, found a couple Garrett T-03 turbos, and then slapped them onto some MAC short-tube headers, which were turned backward for the application. Homemade turbo flanges and pipes cost almost nothing if you have the skills and patience with a welder. From there, it's fairly standard stuff such as iron GT-40 heads, an E303 cam, and a rebuilt 306-inch bottom end (by J. T. Racing). A blow-through 75mm Pro-M mass air, a Ford Racing Performance Parts 65mm throttle body, and a Cobra intake deliver the 22 psi of boost. Lucas 42-lb/hr injectors and a custom Autologic chip are the most expensive pieces to the 10-second puzzle. Add it up, and Jeremy came away with 450 rear-wheel horsepower and a stump-pulling 527 lb-ft of rear-wheel torque, with a modest 12-psi test run on a chassis dyno. Nice!
