Change of plans. I know. Again.
So the 90 Talon has a 6 bolt. And a lot of rust. Too much now that I started pulling off parts. This car, the 98, is going to get the 6 bolt after I rebuild it (not that anything is wrong with it) and will get the small 16g after I send it off to someone, probably Forced Performance, to get rebuilt. Not that it needs it either but I want to do it once and right.
Combined with the 6 bolt swap and doing the 5 speed conversion. I'm going to trade or sell my 1g 5 speed stuff for 2g 5 speed stuff.
So the goals are the same. 300-320whp. Streetable and reliable. The reliability aspect is difficult for DSM's. But I'm going to give it the best chance. Factory replacement pistons with head studs. Factory 6 bolt rods and ARP bolts. The 6 bolts will easily hold 500hp with nothing more than studs. So this should be really easy as for the bottom end. Cams will be modest, Kelford 258/264. Nothing else special. Will be tuning on Link. I'm pulling the 6 bolt late next month. Ideally I would like to have it completed by this time next year.
