Allow myself to introduce.... myself...

My real name is my screen name... but I am mostly known around the internet as Mighty Mouse.

A friend of mine has a pretty cool 87 Cougar and another friend has a pretty fast Turbo Coupe T-Bird.

My current ride is an 86 Mustang GT Convertible.

With a Turbo V8

The car is a convertible and I think I have overreached on the potential/saftey of that chassis. I see it going back to a street cruiser and building something different for a strip (and some street) car.

Led me here...

How heavy are these fox chassis cars?

Any drag Cougars/Birds on here?

Just looking for some examples and insight on this future project.

The Combo will probably be:

BOSS block
Forged internals in the 347 cubic inch range
TFS TW 205cnc Heads.
Super Vic and 4150 blow-thru
76mm blowdryer.
Auto trans.

I am from the Dubuque area but am currently moving to the Decorah area.

The pic is from Cordova Dragway near the Quad Cities on the Illinois side of the river.

Cool!! My daughter is going to school in Decorah. She won't have her car there until spring though. So, if you're running around town, say "Hi" if you see a green SN95 ragtop with MY96KIX plates on it.

So what does your blown vert run at the track?

I never got the old combo sorted out... we are making some changes this year.

Best it did was 98.xx mph in the 8th at 3 psi.

Nate,

Welcome to the site. I've seen your car in the "under construction" section on sbftech. Great project!

Though I post infrequently at either site, both offer a weath of information. Here; on the unique characteristics of the 83-88 T-Birds & Cougars and on sbftech; how to build the drive train right!

I have an 87 Mustang and the 86 T-Bird, both are great cars though each are built for a different purpose.

Glad to see you over here.

Mark
