This makes me miss my '82 XFire....
Great build Buccaneer! |
Man that engine looks beautiful.:cool: The amount of detail speaks for a large effort there.
Congrats.:thumbs: Reminds me of a low miles '84 C4 near me that's got cooling problems but the owner wants to sell it for a song. I just don't have the room in the garage and 2 other project cars to work on. But I love that cross-fire. BTW what computer/ECM do you run in your 82 Buck? Sorry I don't know what year or vehicle the 7747 ECM is or from. |
I am assuming those Dart's are 195's 64CC heads? Pistons? Cam specs? Looks awesome!
|
Very nice, you have the knack for detail and quality. You can see it in the work you do. This will be a sleeper!
|
I was trying to figure out what pro 1 head even had the exhaust cross over and small enough ports to match up to the tbi cross ram intakes. 180 cc was my guess
I noticed small spring diameter compared to pocket size with just shims and no cups. Was that something straub tech supplied with the cam? You did a beautiful job. I know next to nothing about tbi c3s. Do you need or have your set modified with chips. ..... |
Good job, nice and clean looking too nobody would be the wiser
Tell us more about your ecm, cam details cant wait to hear how that runs. You sure have made a long term commitment to the CFI need to post thsi in C4 tech too. Get some action vids when you can! |

I do not run any type of chip with this ECM. It's all in the Ostrich. I guess if I'm ever satisfied with the tune I could burn a perm chip and call it a day, but I don't think that day will ever happen and there is always room for improvement. :D |

I'm waiting on posting anything on the cam until after I take it back to the dyno in Lake Havasu, AZ and tweak on it a bit, this motor is still on the old 383 motor tune, but runs ok...for now. :D I'll see about posting data after the tune or at the dyno. EFI University is just down the street from Horsepower Connection. I learned to tune at EFI U in CA and then they moved to Lake Havasu. The guy Brian at HPC was the instructor of my class and is a great guy with tons of knowledge as well as a 7 sec Nova with a turbo. I think he was going to install twin turbos on it the last time I was there. I didn't post all this on the C4 forum, but I did start a thread there with a link to here on the C3 forum. Didn't want to post all these pics again when they could just look here. |
How are you liking living there?
Go back and forth about picking up a cheap late C3 or early C4 as a beater once things turn around but know nobody that can tune the thing that something you can do via mail order or need the car? Have no interest or time to learn about it myself and dread driving a stock one of either vintage. |

Have no interest or time to learn about it myself and dread driving a stock one of either vintage. Anyway... I only do tuning on my motor using TunerPro RT since that is the only app I use for a CF and don't like tuning other peoples motors for a variety of reasons. Email tunes are not the way to go IMO either. The only proper way to tune a motor is LIVE on the vehicle on a dyno, every motor is differnt. I know there are probably lots of people here that may disagree and argue with that, but it is the truth and the safe way to do things. I know what you mean about having no interest, and it is a somewhat steep learning curve, but it is a doable with a little time. I don't use the many good dyno shops within the Phoenix area available and there are a lot of good LS shops and LS tuners also, I just load up the trailer and go to Lake Havasu. EFI University and Horsepower Connection are the ONLY two places I would recommend IMO and both are in Lake Havasu AZ. EFI U. also has done four or more cars for the show Street Outlaws as well (Doc brought his (street beast) car to EFI U. and had the complete ECM system done by them and went twin EFI) and my guy Brian has tuned some cars for that show as well. They don't come necessarily cheap, but they are good. Even as a former student I did get discounts, but they are still a little high, but IMO well worth it and will continue to learn a lot from them. :rock: My engine machinist here knows a few of the Street Outlaws guys and says that Kye Kelly is fast along with a few others. My guy also has a standing public callout race with Reaper (posted on FP) this Sept at Tucson Dragway for $10K, I plan to be there. UPDATE: I just called HPC and Brian said anytime within the next 30 days would work out good to get the car on the dyno. I just need to plan things out a little, load the car up and take a trip to Havasu for a two day vacation...Awesome! |
pm appreciated
Know mail order isnt the way to go & get not wanting to tune others..if something else in their car isnt right they blame it the tune. lol How tough is smog for cars like that out there? Heard if you get classic car insurance its expemt how old does the car have to be? These cars are so cheap it would be hard to turn a good deal down Anyone else that would tune one out there? Only other option would be to fly one of 2 members down to do it. Is Tuscon 1/8 mi now or still 1/4? |

I was down at Tucson track a couple times earlier this year at a private track rental and it was still 1/4 mile. Wild Horse Pass is the new owner track up here in Chandler AZ. Friday night drags T/T starts up again for the winter Sept 8th... :rock: http://www.racewildhorse.net/index.php/events/ |
I have a residence in lake havasu city AZ. I avoid the summer and kind of come and go. Starting around presidents day every year for the international fireworks show. Maybe I can l meet up with you sometime. I'm a dedicated quad rider and attend most of the boat races down at blue water.

Wow....outstanding!
Super Sano build and a CFI to boot! What do each of the throttle bodies flow now? Tell me about the fuel system and exhaust :) Please update how it runs......so unique. Jebby |
