GT350R owner, new to forum

[Kenwood1113]

Guys, I have a GT350R that just finished production and it awaiting shipment. Scheduled for delivery 8/23/17. My friend Goti who works at the SVT facility in MI suggested I jump on the forum to gather info for this build.

I just got rid of a GT500 with a 4.5 Whipple. Having done some research on the pistons and rods, kinda thinking about installing a Procharger F1A and putting it on E85. Should be a fun build.

Thanks

Welcome to the forum

Lots of good scoop here if you look for it. Don't know how long you have been waiting, but many of us waited a VERY long time (my 17R took 14 months order to delivery).

Good luck with your new ride. Be sure to post lots of pix! :ford:

Welcome aboard! Pistons and rods should handle quite a bit of power, but be sure and replace the oil pump gears and crank sprocket. Those are 2 known weak points of boosted 5.0 and 5.2 engines.

I'll be anxious to see how this engine likes an F1A, good luck!!

Welcome to the board !

I think you got a killer idea let us know if we can help out with any questions and concerns, our master build architect Rick Mark has 35 years under his belt. Ya its a big belt :lol:

Thanks. I ordered this car in April of 2016 so my wait has been about the same, 16 months. Good thing we have other toys to keep us entertained!

Welcome. My next R has the same build date. You should have a VIN by now. Would you mind asking Gotti to keep an eye on my car too?

Lots of good folks here and great information.

See ya around

Yes, got my VIN. He will need your VIN to find your car. He's on this forum, Ill give him your name.

Thanks

so why did you get rid of the GT500 with a 4.5 on it?

More than "keeping an eye" definitely reach out to him on the other forum. I happen to know exactly where mine sits this weekend...and maybe what it looks like too ;)

 

[Kenwood1113]

Thanks Paul. Was checking out some of your carbon fiber accessories. Good looking stuff, might hit you up soon.

Haha, can I chime in with my vin as well? Probably to much to ask but thought I would ask anyway. Let me know if that's cool, mine is still in order processing, 45 days delivery...

No problem, send it over, happy to help.
