have no idea really in those pics it had a bone stock 351W with a 2brl and ran low 11's and high 10's 1/8th mile.

It was never a "race car" I drove it everyday everywere.I bought it when i was 13 and fixed it up from there.I owe everything i know to working on that car that and listening to my dad:D

And its probly the only car i had ever had that never had a set of slicks on it.

Oh wow man, if that isn't a blast from the past for ya! It's always good to hear when an owner can be reunited with a past love of the automotive variety.

Hope it all works out.  :)

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.
