The pump must be lower than the fuel - remember, electric pumps ONLY "push" fuel, they don't "pull", unlike a mechanical pump.

Re: 1971 Torino 500 2 door hardtop
 

Mount the fuel pump as close to the fuel tank as possible. Also figure out what class you want to run and you can make the plate where the fuel tank was and make it thicker or thinner to help with the weight of your car. In my Fairlane i had a 1/8 inch steel plate with about 60 pounds of ballast and a full size battery to weigh 3400 LBS.

Just to give you guys an update. Our Holbrook Racing Engine 302 is getting very close to being completed and should be on the dyno in 2 weeks. It is Beautiful and an extremely nice piece

Went to Holbrook Racing Engines and picked up our new bullet... We saw some Factory X eye candy while we were there.

Re: 1971 Torino 500 2 door hardtop
 

I picked up my Trans from Kent Brewer and ready to mate it with my Converter from Mark Yacavone.

Re: 1971 Torino 500 2 door hardtop
 

I purchased a drum of VP Racing Fuels C-10 from Keith Brewer at Injector Experts. I will also be purchasing 5 gallon pails from Klingler as stand by. We will be thrashing on this build trying to make it out to Cavalcade Of Stars at Summit Motorsports Park. That is the goal anyways.

Re: 1971 Torino 500 2 door hardtop
 

I filled up my Mark Yacavone Torque Converter with Blud Racing Lubricants Pro Series Type F before seating it into my Trans. we got the Holbrook Racing Ford 302 and Kent Brewer built C4 trans in the car and I hooked up the driveshaft. Bolted up my Mike Graham built Autolite 2 barrel Carburetor. I also went from Chrome to Black

Re: 1971 Torino 500 2 door hardtop
 

I have been following your build very closely. A buddy here at home is very interested in the same build. Just curious what power you made on Holbrook dyno.? Doubt if we can get close to that with our backyard skills:):)

Re: 1971 Torino 500 2 door hardtop
 

Headers are on. Off to the next task.....

Re: 1971 Torino 500 2 door hardtop
