New Bullet hitting the streets ! When BOSS LX and I wanna roll "Old School N/A"

**DynoTom** · 06-15-2006, 12:12 AM

Here is my new AMS built 521 CID engine going into my street / strip 1966 Mercury Comet Capri.

It's a stroker 460 Ford combo that is really set up to "run the streets"....This car WILL see PLENTY of street use.

The motor is just waiting for its turn on the AMS dyno for the break in and tuning and then it's off to LA Welding to be fitted to the chassis!

I'm a "Old School" type, I love those big "all motor" combos.

Can't wait to get this thing out and see what it can do, we will also see if BOSS LX can get her down the track faster than me!

We are going with a built up Turbo 400 with a trans brake and Neal Chance Converter.

I really dig that new Hurst pistol grip shifter that Andy has in his Stang, I think I will run the same thing in the Comet?

Looks good, gotta love the N/A stuff.

Ooooohhhh, that looks nice. Skeeter is the $hit! That car should be nice when it is done.

**DynoTom** · 06-15-2006, 09:36 AM

Thanks guys!

I have some specs of the 521.....

13.5 to 1 JE pistons that were custom made for the A-460 Trick Flow heads.

Comp Cams Solid Roller .725 lift with 275 @ 0.50 duration

Trick Flow A-460 intake with plenum work done to blend from carb mount pad to intake port.

1150 BRE carb www.bookracing.com it was set up to this engines specs, Book has some very famous carb customers including Warren Johnsons Pro Stock.

The TFS heads have a 340 CC intake and flow well into the 400 CFM range @ .800 lift.

Moroso Stage II drag race oil pan

Like I said I'm STILL waiting for the dyno test ( the engine has been ready for dyno since early May ) to tune her in and really take advantage of the parts.

I run Rockett 111 race fuel..

It was made for the streets, of course I will race the car at "The Grove" but, cruising around the streets is where the car will most be seen.

That's a very nice looking big block Mopar in the background behind that huge Ford boat anchor!

LOL - Tom is that you? If so shoot me a PM, I am indeed "Jim from Electromotive" from back in the day!

**DynoTom** · 06-15-2006, 10:15 AM

I knew that Mopar Jim was the same Jim I worked with !!

Jim, once I get the 521 Comet out and about I will take you cruise around in it if you want?

**GRNDNL** · 06-15-2006, 10:42 AM

66 Comet?....Thats even cooler, got any pics.....

**DynoTom** · 06-15-2006, 10:51 AM

Here is the car as it sits now, this clip was shot a while back.

Lots of changes will be needed to make the 521 work in this chassis.

I can only post one picture here, the space limit is exceeded with any more pics.

**JohnnyT** · 06-15-2006, 11:02 AM

That's really sweet. Makes me miss my '67 Fairlane.

**97z2801ss** · 06-15-2006, 11:15 AM

**Moparjim** · 06-15-2006, 12:17 PM

Definitely! Welcome to the board Tom!

**T-Bag** · 06-15-2006, 12:31 PM

Looks nice! Can't wait to see it cruising the streets.

**JC70SS** · 06-15-2006, 12:40 PM

**ripped2keclipse** · 06-15-2006, 04:56 PM

**DynoTom** · 06-15-2006, 07:10 PM

Thanks guys !

I was down at the fab shop today going over some of the build details on the car.

I will take pics as the 521 goes in.

Lotsa thinking to do to make sure I buy the right parts the first time.

Tell Skeeter to leave room for a few bottles!

Does Tom know what happened to the Fury? <sniff>

I did get the story from Jim about the Fury's death...... I felt pretty bad when that car got killed like that.

I think I have some pics of that car with a 6 pack on it.
