Torino 10

[TAC]

Got to work on the power window motor conversion. Cut the adapters brackets out of 3/16 and welded them to the back side of the crank. I will have to re index the window arm to be able to spin the whole assembly down to get the motor below the glass. The door already has the mounting holes. I still have to make the drive gear bushing that will go inside the original crank mount cap.
I also got my header flanges cut out of 3/8" stainless. Since the car is now tucked away in my spare garage I will have to wait before I can play with those. A 5 tube collector should be fun to fab.

Picked up my 5-1 collectors from Stainless headers, a work of art!

I'm looking for some Torino updates and a Bronco picture.

Sorry for the absent replies, but no progress on the Torino project. Had to put it on hold while I finish ten thousand other things. I have picked up a few parts, an aluminum rad and the front seats. I have spent some time planning some of the things to be done, but thats all thats gone on there. I hope to get some time on it in about a month....hopefully.

Heres a few pics of my daily driven Bronco. These are during construction and at a couple of events I drove 1500 miles to attend.

Sweet Bronco. I'm guessing you built the coil over conversion. I looks like you did a 4 link or something out back. I thought about that on my wifes but just went with stock style springs and leafs and bypass shocks.

I hope to see some Torino updates from you in a month.

I have no idea how I've missed this thread. I love what you're doing with the Torino. Best of luck moving forward

WSSix..its easy to miss when I haven't posted in months.

FE Torino I have been watching your thread on your Torino , thats going to be one hell of a car.

I built the frame in my Bronco along with everything else. Things rust so bad here using any stock 30-40 yr old stuff is pointless. It has a 393 running on propane with a ZF 5 spd , 4.56 gears and dual detroit lockers. The front 44axle is 2 piece housing and still uses stock radius arms. The rear uses leafs and fox shocks. Gets about 16" of travel frt and rear. Using coilovers in the rear means little or no rear seat and that doesn't work for me.

The Bronco sounds like a nice rig.

Your build, the Twin Torino guys and Jasons formal roof with the DSE back half all inspired me to step mine up a notch. So its partly your fault.

You can blame me but don't send me the bill.

smithberg racing has a CNC profile for these V10 heads btw.

just a heads up.
