| Concept Car completed
My friend Matt Urquhart and I just completed our futuristic TA concept car in May 2006.
Mine and Matt's toy is a 79 TA is the The Project Home 2010 Vehicle. She has a 78 400 block w\ 69 #16 heads, Stock crank that has been cross drilled, Eagle rods pushing Keith Black pistons w\ Total Seal gapless rings. The cam is a comp cams 305h. Roller rockers by Harland Sharp. With a Pete Jackson (quit, ya right)Gear Drive. Mine and Matt's engine is topped off with a Torker 2 intake and a Demon carb, W/a Blockers performance BVES air filter to keep the shaker scoop right were it belongs. Spark and timing are by MSD, Matt and I use a 6AL box w/ a timing computer in our project car (no weights in the Distributor all timing handled by the msd computer) and a blaster 2 coil. The timing computer alowes Matt and me to retard our timing from each of our lay-down compartments in the 2010 vehicle here (both Matt and I have our own touch-screen panels in our seperate compartments in the 2010 vehicle) when we run our NOS Cheater set up. When either Matt or I hit the nitrous button the computer will retard the timing the amount we set. Exhaust is moved by a set of Summit Racing headers into a Flowmaster exhaust. All the power is sent into a turbo 350 with a 2600 rpm stall converter. The rear has 3:08 gears with magnetic disc brakes (another of our inventions). The whole under side has been striped and repainted. All bushings are by Energy Suspension; these include front and rear sway bars, front control arms, trany mount, leaf spring bushings, spring pads, shock bushings, and the snubers for the Competition Engineering traction bars. Shocks are Herb Adams 3 way adjustable units. Springs are ws6 front and rear. Wheels are ARE 398 16x8 with Dunlop 255-50-16 D40M2s. This all makes for a fast and fun to drive TA all engineered by us into this polycarbonate body.This car is our sideline project we have been working on around our restorations. | | | |
