Nice Ride. Welcome

Nice Cougar. What all do you have planned for it?You're at the right place for info,tech,or whatever.Welcome to board,and keep everyone posted on progress.
sleeper!!!!!!!! so far its got a 5.0 ho offroad h pipe w 1 chamber flow masters and dumps. it sounds like cruising not intimdating at all till you crack in to it and it screams every one local loves the car .its got 4:!0s with a trac loc. saving up for aluminum heads probably gonna keep stock cam tho i want a smooth and not intimdating idle. i plan on spraying 100 shot on her. planning on install the shift kit asap. ive also got a edelbrock intake manifold and a 255 pump for it . need to get a regulator and ill swap intakes. the suspension is all original and worn out. so the car squat and launches great evan on the street. i can stomp it from a dead stop and she hooks .ive benn building stangs for years this is my first cougar tho.
Well you should know that now there's no going back!
VERY LONG AND OVER DUE UP DATE. the cougars for sale if any one wants it . its in lothian md. i spun a rod bearing racing a turbo eclipse.. any one want it make an offer send me a pm . i have another motor for it but cant decide what to do
oh yeah i beat the eclipse tho.
Put the new motor in it. Keep it. You have done alot of work already and won't get your money out of it that you put in it.
Just flip a coin and let fate deal with it......lol
Or sell the spare 5L and buy a 460, it worked for me ;)
460.....................................................
460 hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm interesting
Run with the big dogs. I really wanted to do a fuel injected 460/e4od in my bird. I just could not find a good engine/trans. So I went with the 351w.
Instead I am going to do a 6.8L V10 swap into my 02 Expedition.
i was actually debatting on taking the motor/tranny out of my f250 and building a powerstroked cougar. but im thinking it would be too big a project
