  • Sponsors (?)


I'm going to sleep a lot so I can dream about what I want....




Just kidding. I'm in the market for a new intake and some of Eddy's new Performers with 1.9/1.6 valves. Thats what I would want, but with my luck something always comes up.

1. build 306 long rod, W/ forged pistons/rods and a main support
2. step up to the 175shot
3. custom dyno tune
4. blow up t5

too bad I have the aod out of the Bronco, since I had the 302 ready to pull and had to get it running for a few weeks (short block more than a little messed up right now in the GT :nonono: )

instal d.s. safty loop
instal ssm lift bars w/ trq box reinforcments
 
My winter project is to have my band play enough gigs so that I can save money to afford my spring project. Full tune-up, lowering springs, shocks/struts, control arms, subframes, etc. I just want to re-do the suspension so it handles great (street setup). Any suggestions are appreciated.

o/r h pipe and u/d pulleys are on my x-mas list too!! :nice:

Buy a motor stand and start buying stuff to add to it. Most likely a FMS 342 with all edelbrock parts.

On the 89, I'll probably do a new battery and a 3G alternator upgrade, tint the windows and add a stereo. It also needs new headlights. :rolleyes:

-Ford 3.73 gears and alum. driveshaft (putting in this weekend)

My winter project just made about a 180 degree turnaround from a simple motor rebuild to now a Cobra R clone. after the first of the year the 351W and rebuilt T-5 will go in, followed by cloth seats and rear seat delete panel. After that is done probably 3.73's and cobra R wheels. Leaving right now to go look at this "monster" 351 my friend has for sale, we'll see if it truely live up to his building. :rolleyes:
