T-GRRR's Tale
The GRRR in T-GRRR

This is what puts the "GRRR" in T-GRRR.

To help move T-GRRR down the road I put together, with the help of Ted King of Portland's Larson and King fame, a 322 cu. in. stroker motor using a Boss Ford 302 block with 4 bolt mains. Increased stroke is via a Reath crank connected to Boss rods and modified TRW flat-top pistons. A Crower roller-tappet cam featuring 292 degrees duration and .597" lift opens 1.94" intake and 1.60" exhaust valves in a set of Ted's ported 351W heads with Pro Magnum roller rockers.

Hard to see with the carburetors mounted is a NOS direct port nitrous system with fogger nozzles.

Remove the polished aluminum panel and beneath lies the coil pack.

Induction is via a synchronized set of 4 Weber IDA48 carburetors.

Fire comes from an Elecromotive distributorless, direct fire unit with a custom crank trigger.

Power is transmitted through a Hays clutch and Mcleod hydraulic throwout bearing contained in a Lakewood scattershield and connected to a "world class" T-5 transmission with Hurst shifter.

A custom driveshaft connects to the Salisbury rear with Dana 44 Powerlock turning modified Ford 9" big-bearing axles that have been shortened and resplined to match the Dana center section.
