Just a little 62mm. The new one isn't going to be that small though...

Couple updated pics with the motor out, and prep work started on engine bay...

Nothing whatsoever was wrong with the car when I took it apart. It ran the same as it ever has. Just wanted to have a much, much faster street/strip car, and the current block, internals, fuel system etc. was holding me back.

Not really giving up all the details on the build yet, but it'll be a small cubed Ford built to handle more than twice the power it makes now, with at least a Precision PT-78GTS.

First part acquired...

how come you pulled the heads and everything off before you pulled the motor? seems like a lot of extra work to me.

this is one of the things ive always wated to do with my car, just throw on a turbo, and GO!

its hard for me becase theres just so many choices. just heads on stock 302, with a 150 shot, or 347 with h/c/i, or just do what you did, slap a turbo on the motor, and call it a day.... so many choices
