Resurrecting the Blue 74 Javelin with a 401

 

 

 

Also, the eletric fan and upgraded ECU is gobbling up amps when everything is on so I've ordered a 105 amp unit since I've already done the Delco conversion.  I'm also working on getting a shrouded twin 12" electric fan set up.  The car is getting really hot in traffic with the unshrouded 16" electric fan.  Pics will be posted when the shroud is installed and I'll see if that fixes the heat issues.  Also, the front carpet is in but I'm still on the hunt for the back section (hint, hint, if anybody has one in decent shape).  Lastly, I still need to get the front spoiler touched up and back on the car but that will be a summer project

 

Otherwise, the tune is slowing coming together on the 401.  I still haven't taken it much above 4000 rpm nor have I put the Powerdyne supercharger on it, but it is feeling very strong.  I still have concerns about needing to get bigger injectors for it so that may happen after I decide on keeping the converted Torker or switching to the Indy intake.  I still have my old E-6 Haltech unit and wiring harness so if I go with the Indy, I'll likely part with the Torker and offer a package for anybody looking to go to multiport EFI for their AMC.  I think I have a few extra sensors and a high pressure external fuel pump to go with the deal.  (if there's interest in that, I may sell the converted Torker, ECU, harness, and extras so that I can fund the new intake.  Otherwise, that setup may eventually find its way on the roadrace/track project).

 

Speaking of which, the roadrace/track Javelin goes to the shop on June 1st to get its cage and the 360's will head to the shop to get cleaned up and assessed for build up.  Probably going to run the K-1 rod/Wiseco piston combination with the flat tops and some ported large chamber heads.  It should keep the compression reasonable with good grunt for the track...but that's for a different thread.
