Shelby GT 500 Eleanor Technical.

May 2006: Eleanor ready to rock!


Here is a small movie of some of the modifications we 've made during the winter.


Top: Go-baby-go switch (NOS boost)
Left: Activator switch linelock + red button to hold the linelock.
Middle: Activator switch NOS system + blue button for "purge".
Right: Activator switch fuelpump.


Purge system in action; real cool in the dark because it has two very strong blue led-lights that illuminate the nitrous. (photo / movie coming soon).




13" BAER brakes front.


13" BAER brakes rear.


Fuelpump and filter.

Check out the "pics-section" of this website for new photo's of Eleanor with the new rims etc.


Clutch and flywheel.


The equalizerbar couldn't handle the new heavy cluth, so we had to adjust that with an extra strip of steel (green arrow). It seems to work fine but this winter we plan to install an hydraulic clutchmechanism.


Technical specs.
Custom built 351 Cleveland (5,8 liter V8) 4V Quench head

From left to right: Fuelpressure gauge, Tachometer, Air/Fuel gauge (installed lambdasonde in the exhaust to measure the air/fuel proportion).
 
View on the extra lines for the NOS and the fuel and the fuelpressure-regulator.


The red device in the upper right corner of this picture keeps a limit on the fuelpressure on the gauge in the car, for safety reasons.


As you can see, it's all well within hand-reach to open the NOS bottle, activate the system and push the go-baby-go button.
 

All the way at the top center of this picture you see the red box which is the MSD ignition retard control. It will retard the ignition a couple of degrees when the engine is at high-revs. (when using the NOS for instance)


The NOS bottle is installed in the center of the car. The clamps are home-made to fit exactly in the existing holes. (Don't want to put some extra holes in Eleanor)

 

Fresh blue paint on the block and some fresh Taylor SPIRO PRO 8 mm ignition wires.

The NOS® CheaterTM system is designed for use on 350 CID or larger, carbureted engines. It uses large nitrous and fuel solenoids and can be adjusted to any desired power level from 150 to 250 horsepower, in a matter of seconds. CheaterTM systems are easy to install and utilize a 1/2" thick injector plate which fits between the carburetor and intake manifold to provide ample hood clearance.

CheaterTM systems include a 10 lb. nitrous bottle, four (4) stages of jets, aircraft-quality steel braided lines and all other necessary electrical and mounting hardware for a complete installation. Each single carburetor CheaterTM system includes Jet Pack #13725 that allows jetting to four (4) different horsepower levels: 150, 180, 210 and 250.
