You can check your toe with a tape measure, be sure take the slop out of the steering when you measure. Also cross rotate your front tires and tell me what happens. I wouldn't mess with caster or camber yet.

Caster and camber can each cause a vehicle to pull. Camber and toe can cause abnormal tire wear. You can't adjust caster or camber without affecting toe. While it's possible to align a vehicle without a machine, you will get a much more accurate alignment using an up to date alignment machine...

Go get the car aligned. The caster reading will tell you if there is a problem. You could also measure the distance from wheel base on each side (measure center to center). The numbers should be within .5 in of eachother. But the alignment would be the best bet to see if there is a problem as it...

Nice vid. What have you done as far as suspension mods?

Black chrome just doesn't last very long. The Les Schwab store I used to work at quit selling them because of the warranty head aches. But they do look sic when new!

That video has been around for quite a while. I think it was created to showcase the capabilities of the CNC.

Something is bound up. Driveshaft maybe? Pull the rear springs out and see if you have a smooth, uninterrupted range of motion.

Sounds like a fun project.

Cool! I can't wait to see how it runs. Have you thought about how you will get this car through emissions testing? Or do you live out in Yamboy? That's the main reason I'm wanting to start with an 83.

Look on Craigslist for a core to start with. I found a complete EFI 5.8L with all the accessories and brackets in my area for $300. Shop around.

IF you go the 4BT Cummins rout, there are parts available to bolt up just about what ever transmission you want to use. Check these guys out: DESTROKED: Cummins Conversions

It's not always about the money. Maybe he wants to do it just for the sake of the project. Maybe he's got a drinking problem and needs something to keep himself occupied with in his free time. I would also be willing to bet that not one of these guys who are getting all excited about "tearing...

I'm in the planning stages of my project and I intend to start with an 83. Once a vehicle is 25 years old, it is no longer required to be emission tested. Take your time, shop around and I bet you could find a suitable donor car for cheap on Craigslist or at an insurance auction.

Yeah, I'm in the 'couve. I'm working on selling my motard bike to fund a little project myself. I've got an 83 coupe (83=no emissions!) that I want to put a 351W stroker into. Do you know if the brackets off of the late model trucks will work in the fox body? There's a very complete looking 351W...

I'm working on selling my street bike to fund a Mustang project.

Looks good. Where at in the liquid sunshine state are you?

The 4BT Cummins uses quite a few of the same components as the 6BT. Some tricked out 5.9L injectors, injector pump mods, and a couple of turbos would make some good power. Not to mention nitrous. Diesels love nitrous.
