1994 945
b320 squirter ft block, ebay rods, stock ft pistons
16v refreshed head, stock cams, ford valve springs
custom 16v na manifold J pipe
3in turbo back exhaust with two straight through resonators
HE351 ebay turbo
AW71L, accumulator modded
homebrew fuel chip, stock b204t ignition chip, Buchka wasted spark
BNE coilovers in front, cut springs and 240 shocks in rear, random homemade adjustable panhard bar found in the parking lot of a Volvo meet
Volan wheels with cheap af tires
After having a 240 for 5+ years I decided to go back to my roots and pick up another grandpa wagon. Was chatting with my buddy Michael talking about the old 760 and he started throwing craigslist postings for them at me.
Long story short I picked up this for $700 bucks back in November of 2019.
East Coast car so it has some rust. I took care of the surface rust with some convertor and slapped some BNE coilovers and adapters/ 850 wheels on it.
And I decided to finally get around to using that 16v head and accessories I had laying in storage for who knows how long.
And then why not also put a turbo on it.
The rusty exhaust fell off it
So I had a 3in cat back made
Accumulator modded the AW71L
And back in September of 2020 I took it to work and on the way back merging on the freeway this happened
Tensioner bolts backed out and the belt slipped off.
Ouch, completely thrashed.
I cleaned up the pistons and tossed the stock 530 head back on it. Other than some piston slap when cold it runs just as slow as when I first picked it up.
I started gathering up parts to rebuild the 16v head. Took the first valve out and saw this.
Cracked guide, no way I was replacing that on the garage floor.
That's one bent valve.
Bit the bullet and dropped the head off at a local machine shop that was recommended to me. In the meantime I put the engine I had laying in the side yard from a free 740 I owned for a whole two months (which burned down, my luck with 7s) and stuck it on a stand.
Tore it down to put some big boi ebay rods in
I was told it was rebuilt about 20k before I got the car.
Painted the block Ford red
While I still had the og setup I smogged and registered it in California since my Vermont tags were up Jan of 2021.
Head came back from the machine shop. New valves, guides, seals, upgraded springs.
Putting it back together
I as going to make a twin scroll J pipe but I went the easy way and did just a single since the HE351 is just a single.
Which brings up to current day
All ready to go in. Should be happening in March sometime. I plan to take a week off work for my birthday and get it all set.
