Looks to be a good summer

May 02, 2005, 10:54:04 AM

The 6" K&N is installed, I have my Gillis Boost Valve on order as we speak, and I will be getting a T3 (60/63) with down pipe and E3 for a practice port soon.

Time to plan for that head gasket. :hick:

Installed an overhead console! Yeah, that's it! The overhead console! I might not go any faster, but I'll know where I'm going

It'll be a good summer if I get just one of these other two cars on the road again.

Smells nice when working out there. Just had 8 rose blooms come up (and 11 more on the way) and a couple different jasmine plants bloom. Of course, five minutes under the hood of the '88 and all that is replaced by leaked-out coolant and 16 years of crud.. :p

I removed the lowering springs ans installed a set(all 4) of stockers in the Blue Bird, so I'll be able to get some traction at the strip. Now the thing stands up like a friggin 4X4.... :(..

With a TC, Aerostar, and Nephews Mustang to get ready to sell, I gots lots more to do..

UUUMMM prolly.... I need to take a good look at the fronts I removed, not sure but they maybe Stang stockers.... They do really set the car down, and looked good, but I can't race it like that....

Here she is. Paid for and awaiting delivery. :D

Tom, I imagine you're the man to ask. What do you think a rebuild kit will cost on this unit? It only cost $100 US before shipping, so no matter, it's a deal.

rebuilds generally cost about $100 US

for this summer...i dont really know

im planning on trying to at least get the 5.0 long block in the car, and the wiring harness in and most of what i can wired up, and possibly piece together a 5-speed setup for the red one also, but before i do that, i might have a little something to buy from a guy out in frederick

as for the TC, i dont know much of what will happen this summer, maybe T3, ported E6, 3" exhaust, and a boost controller

after that, ill throw an FMIC, gutted/ported intakes, and a 65mm throttle body on it, and call it done, throw some subframe connectors on it, and wait for the body to start rotting

Tom - lemme know if those are T-Bird or Mustang springs. Not that it matters much, I don't drag race. I just want the car to not handle like it's sprung with bungee cords as it does now

What, you mean it's NOT supposed to hop up and down like a low-rider when you hit a dip in the road at 45 mph?
