I remember when you first posted about the wheels, and they look beautiful polished. I would love to do this to a set, but know nothing of how to make the center and ring work, let alone where to find the outer wheel for it. Any suggestions?
With the mods you are talking about I think Mineral Gray would really give it the pissed off, aggressive look. It will be a lot more subtle than Grabber Blue which is an attention getter. People will notice the sound and sleekness of the Gray.
Apple makes products for their select fanbase. You can't upgrade their products without going through them, you pay and arm and a leg for good products but like Eric said they only have a certain life span. The Android phones alos have a lifespan to them, but it is considerably larger. I have had every generation of ipod, and for it's purposes it was very useful. I bought the Motorola Razr a week after release and I absolutely love it. With an Otter Box it is still thinner than almost any phone that doesn't have a case. I can do anything I want on it, and I have the option to upgrade my SD card which already gives me 32gb of memory. I use it for music at work and in the car. I use it for youtube, ebay and most of my internet browsing. Plus I know that it will still be a very useful phone til my upgrade and even after that point. I am very rough on electronics and especially being a welder and having it in my pocket, this thing takes a hell of a beating and still works great. I'm not say an iPhone is horrible, but dealing witht he limitations because of their own software and compatability with Apple products only I will choose and Android any day. Also fixing/ replacing an android phone is alot easier. My iPod Touch had a bad digitizer screen and 2 years later Apple still sends me the wrong replacement part even with all of the info of the device. I gave up and my Razr has a better playback for music anyway.
Anne Hathaway did a fantastic job hands down, just as much effort into the character as Ledger did with the Joker. This was the BEST Bane character portrayal of any movie or video game. This Bane was just a skillfully trained BAD A**!! Plus Joseph Gordon Levin is a great actor. All in all I was very impressed with the movie. I wish Nolan would continue his Batman movies, he's done a great job so far, and I want to see more Scarecrow!!!
Metallica And Justice For All Metallica Black Album Metallica St. Anger
I have a 3 Disc CD Changer in a buddies garage and we listened to those albums non stop while working on his '85 Monte Carlo SS and my Cougar.
Weezer Blue Album was the first Album I wore out. Went through two cassete tapes in my garage. Def Leppard The Vault was the second Album I wore out on cassette. System Of A Down Toxicity I jammed out to every day after school through all 4 years of High School and it is still one of my favorites to go through start to finish.
My Dad and I always listened to his vinyls and I have all of them. I don't remember specific album names, but Duran Duran, the Cars, Adam Ant, and Def Leppard he owned all of them and we would sit there and listen to each til the needle stopped. He has numerous 8 tracks we listened to in his "70 Chevelle. I can't find the 8 tracks anymore but he still has the Chevelle which is equipped with an aftermarket Pioneer 8 track player with Power Booster.
Does that LTD have the dual snorkel air cleaner??? IF you can nab any of the H.O. parts that would be awesome!! I have a CFI 5.0 and the H.O. stuff would be awesome to have!
I almost bought a sticker for my Ram that says "My Hemi uses the gas your Hybrid saves". I had to post the Prius Repellent on the back of the Ram with Semi Stacks haha.
Exactly why I'm doing this Clayton. I want to just get the motor performing like it should, and when I pull it out when the times comes for the 347 I can throw heads, cam and whatever goodies I happen to buy on it for whatever car it will go in. Most likely a rat rod. The overfueling issues right now are beyond ridiculous and the cost to tear down and rebuild the CFI isn't cost effective to a carb setup in my opinion. I know it'll end up with a carb anyway. If I go with EFI on the stroker then down the road I'll upgrade all of that, but for now I have no real need especially when the 5.0 out of the Lincoln is just a standard output. I was miss informed. IF and big IF, it were an H.O. I might reconsider, but swapping motors isn't big on my agenda since the power gain would only cause me to go through tires haha. I do that bad enough with my truck.
So far I've heard: Holly 570 Street Avenger, Edelbrock 600 and 650 Holley.
He is gutting the car yes, but I have no plans to keep any type of fuel injection. Yes my car is in pristine condition, not close to Eric's Vert or Jerry's Cougar, but in very very good condition. With as simple as the gauge cluster and the entertainment features are on this car, I would love the versatility of a carb, plus going with a stroker in the future it seems even more fitting. This is just temporary. The 5.0L will come out but will be used so the carb will play a big roll in the next vehicle it is in.
Why not just find a good used HO engine and put a decent carb and manifold on it?
I have a buddy with an HO engine and it's mine if I haul it off, but he has to pull it from the Lincoln it's in. He doesnt want to pull it yet because he moves it around still. The intake and carb are all I'm doing right away. I want this thing to be reliable and responsive. I wanted to make sure a 600 wouldnt be overkill until that point. In all honesty I want a 347, which will happen in the future. I take the Cougar to shows, but had to miss out on Father's Day because it over fuels badly enough and the brake booster went out. I didn't trust driving it 45 miles to the show, let alone the same distance back.
That's your thermoactor tube, an easy way to block them is to remove the pipe, cut the ends off that bolt to the heads, flip them around and bolt them back on the heads with a little high temp sealant.
I would be all for that, but to do that I have to remove the heads. If I'm taking those bad boys out they aren't going back on haha. I had someone offer me a single plane Cobra intake, but he wanted an arm and a leg for it. It was from a Maverick. If it had been the one he pulled from a '68 Cougar I would have bought it. I think a Performer Series intake, a 600 and the necessary linkages should really help that car out alot. The CFI has some fuel leaking issues which floods the motor and there is no way to fix it without tearing it all apart and replacing parts. Plus the tunability of a carb is ideal. I plan on removing all but the necessary wiring. Smog, and CFI will be completely gone.
