What's  funny is.... it still started the car the very last time I had it out side to spin it around. Damp days were a problem. lol

Niagara River would be the correct answer for the starter. lol

It's amazing what 20 years of salt will do to something.


23 years;)

What rusty old lump are you referring to?


I think he was referring to the ol' 3.8L.

So yeah, what are the drivetrain plans?

Seen too many 5.0/5.8 Swaps.  I really want to do a DOHC swap with a megasquirt efi into a classic mustang.

My car is a gravity hybrid.  The gasoline engine gets me up the hills, and gravity gets me down.

If one is going to do a DOHC swap why not make it a 5.0 DOHC? ;)
