My 84 Tbird drag car July 19, 2010, 08:52:14 AM Hello all. I'm new to this forum and have been a member for a few days. I'm finding lot's of useful info. Great site. I thought I would post up some pics of my 84 tbird drag car. It will be street legal, just not very streetable. 99.5% track use only. I might take it down to the cruise night on occasion.Currently doesn't have an engine. I bought it as a roller and I'm collecting parts for the engine. I have the main parts and they should go to the machine shop soon. I'm building a 598 ci BBF, injected alcohol for fuel. 15:1 compression, Ford Racing A460 block and TFS A460 heads. 4.600 bore X 4.500 stroke.The car:more pics here:http://s374.photobucket.com/albums/oo186/dgcole01/TBird%20at%20Home/?start=all Quote Selected

My 84 Tbird drag car Reply #4 – July 19, 2010, 09:26:02 PM Thanks guys!Quote from: 86T-bird;328799That's quite the roller! Where in the 8's are shooting for?Around my area we only have 1/8 mile racing. No 1/4 stuff. I will run mainly brackets, but I hope it can run 5.20's in the 1/8. That would be equal to around 8.20 or so in the 1/4. If it can do that I will run some of the 5.30 heads up index classes like ORSCA and ODRA have at their heads up events. It's not all that light. Only glass is hood, trunk and dash. Only lexan is in the doors. It should come in around 2750 w driver, BBF and powerglide. The car had a BBC before I bought it and it was 2520 w/o driver.I wanted to slow down and have some fun. My previous car (sold in May) was a rear engine dragster with an injected 588 BBF. It ran 4.60's and 70's (7.30's 1/4) and had become a lot of work with between rounds maint.My previous dragster and my street cruiser on my home page:http://my.att.net/p/s/community.dll?ep=16&groupid=66449&ck= Quote Selected

I was just going by what the previous owner told me. It doesn't have a vin tag. Is there any location on the body that might have the vin # stamped so I could find out? Quote Selected
My 84 Tbird drag car Reply #8 – July 19, 2010, 11:55:37 PM Does it not have a title? how are you going to get plates for it if it isn't able to technically be able to be traced to an owner?Great looking car though! I like BBF's too. My truck in the sig has a 545 in it. Nitrous and pump gas calculated right at 700whp Quote Selected
