Just the rear...... NEW PICSlil update....4/5/09

Actually a stock 460 runs out about 240 hp stock, wich is close to double the stock 5.0ls 155hp, but the bb has more torque at LOW rpms, so i wouldnt have to launch as hard to move as quickly, but for now my car is stock, and when the 460 is done, fully rebuilt, and pushin about 500 hp, we'll see who gives who a run!!!
All joking aside, like i said, i dont have to run 9s, and i dont have the urge to do a wheelie (would be sick!) i just want to build something that i made, my way for me to enjoy... ive always loved cars since i can remember, and always loved v8s. The only thing i care about right now is keeping a job, and having my cougar. i really love the car, and never want to have to give it away... sounds selfish i guess, but i like it too much!!!!

You gotta do it for yourself.I did my Sport the way I wanted it.I think it turned out O.K..If you go the big block route,are you going to try and make it look like the factory installed it like that,or going all out ?

Hey thats cool man, do it your way and drive the piss out of it! I plan to do my car the same way and hopefully keep it as long as I possibly can. I'd like to find another Cougar shell at some point to save for my son to build up at some point so when he gets old enough to help me in the shop we can start building his first car.

I want it to look factory installed but clean, a little chrome here and there, and a mininmal amount of AN fittings. And drive the piss out of it is what i plan on doing after its done..... definately go to some car sows, and get some reactions out of some people when they see a bb under the hood!!!! I wish 88 tbird guy would chime in and remind us of how he likes his bb's*********hint*****hint*****JK lol

Don't forget to strengthen the frame and rear T-box area.

I think thats cool, I think the biggest I'd go is more than likely a 5.8 but thats about it. I need to make a decision what i'm doing and just stick to it.

I know to strengthen up the car, before i do all this, right now im trying to put money away for parts, and slowly but surely build up my block, once a good stretch of warm weather comes, im gonna finish stripping it down, and off to the machine shop it goes!!!! My buddy told me that some napa stores have the shops in the back, so im gonna get an estimate for a complette resurface and bore....maybe 30 over, my buddy is trying to talk me into doing 60, but i think im gonna pass...

lol hell yeah, but those are going to be replaced by go slow parts prretty soon!!!! gonna go find out how much its going to cost to get a hole drilled and tapped, and i might see how getting the heders powdercoated will be.. and as of now i have a 3 sets of rockers, the stock so ones, the stock ho ones, and the 1.7s...... ive been avoiding the heater core, cause all the screws were put in my glovebox, and it looks like a big headache!!!! The only thing i need to figure out is where to put the ps2...............i was going to mount it under the pass. side dash, under the glove box........
