Can't wait to hear/see what the plans for 2011 are.

[nismodave]

Very Sweet!!

[FourEyedFord]

I'm thinkin' big cube BBC N/A, or maybe the old motor with a little juice, or maybe an 8.2 deck with an f1r/x-trim, or........

:D

[FourEyedFord]

Goals?

I just want to go fast on a 275/28x10.5.....and be able to drive it around.

Maybe a couple 8" 90s, lol!

[FourEyedFord]

Shitts weak!

Your right............it would be if I went with a blower, I will scratch that off the list then! :wooo

[DR.FORD]

Thats 'cause it takes about 1000HP N/A to spin the blowers that count:devil
Happy Holidays LOLOL:rolf
Love, DR.

Haha, I know thats why I can't have one! I would be lucky if my motor makes 500hp n/a with its 8:1 compression, lol. I always gotta razz the blower guys though!

I hope your holidays were great too! How is the car coming along? Almost ready for February?

[DR.FORD]

Engine is in the Fairmont, headers fitted and out getting coated. Aerospace front brakes going on.
BTW Aerospace stuff really lacks in fitment-I used them because they are the only company being able to move the front wheels in up to 3/4" with their brakes. REALLY disappointed!
Trans was freshened and ready to install.
Steve Johnson is plumbing the intake now, and am just waiting on the 40 spline stuff.
Travel limiters are going on after it runs-going over by Ron for those.
Also moving the rack down to get some clearance for the pan.
We'll be ready for Georgia X275!!
The Thunderbird-where do I start.
MAJOR surgery!
No turning back-doing what it takes to be a front runner with no excuses.
It will be ready by May:headbang

Wow! Sounds like a busy winter! Thanks for the info on those front brakes, Andy and I were looking at those for that very same reason. I'll just keep rockin' the stockers on the front then for sure. Never had a problem stopping the car the way its set up now anyway.

Good luck getting everything together man!

[wheelsofsteel]

Maybe a couple 8" 90s, lol!

Not a bad idea actually. :wooo

[wheelsofsteel]

And Brad, I didn't know you had photoshop skills! :rolf

Not sure of this "photoshop" thing you speak of. :D

I do have other skills tho....like cutting trees like Paul Bunyan. I am pretty sure you have seen me do that.

Have new heads for motor and planning on doing three stages depending on how much money I have left. Also doing the 25.5 upgrade, car is stripped down right now and starting to put new subframe connectors in.

Daaaaaaaaamn!

What's the ET limit on a 10pt again for 1/8 mile? :goof

[FourEyedFord]

Here are the new rims its getting, I decided against the old rears I had picked out. ( A little too retro for my car) I also chose these instead of the Champion wheels in the photoshop thread because these are A LOT lighter and more of a drag race wheel. The fronts are old M/T ET drag wheels, and the rears are American racing trakstars. I am excited to see something new on my car, it has had prostars for the last 6 years, lol.

We'll see! I put a polished alumastar on it for a little mock up, and it looks pretty sweet with polished rims on it. You will have to check it out when they come in next week!

[SENNY__]

Could you weigh one and let me know how much?

[FourEyedFord]

Thanks guys!

Jim, I will be out at the shop on Thursday and I will bring one home with me. I can throw one on the scale at the store for ya on Friday! My slick rims are a set of alumastar 2.0s and they feel damn close to those, possibly a shade lighter.

[Flicktitty]

looks great!

[BlackLightning]

I didn't like them in the picture for some reason but they look great mounted on the car. :thumbsup

To think, that car at one point in time was yellow........cant picture it in any other color other than flat black now

[FourEyedFord]

Haha! I know, I heard he likes a steady diet of F1Rs and X-trims, with maybe a little fogger on the side..... :D :wooo

Haha! You always gotta watch out for the little guys cause those are the ones that can scare ya! :D

Yeah those times were great! I beat the crap out of that setup, and I don't think there was a time were I just took it for a spin without hammering on it a couple times. The thought of something breaking really never crossed my mind. Skeeter's was AWESOME that year, too, and I would love to see the video from that again! However, I do not miss having no interior and two holes cut in my hood for the bonnet and the blower, lol.

[UnderPSI]

That was my favorite hood. 100% purpose built!

[FourEyedFord]

Well it appears the trans didn't break last year, it was the converter! The converter is fixed now though and setup for the new smaller cam and turbo. I should have the motor back in the next couple weeks, and the turbo will be coming shortly after that. I will get pics of the new turbo when I get it, too! I hope everyone else's projects are coming along well!

[Crawlin]

Definitely good news. Has to be a TINY bit cheaper than a full trans!

[UnderPSI]

What kind of converter are you running? I had a precision that I blew apart, I know it's a completely different application, but they fixed it for free and next day air shipped it back. Nice to see that you can save some money on this one. Usually it goes the other way and you think it's a small problem and it turns out to be a big one.

[FourEyedFord]

It was a 10" from ultimate converter concepts. He said all the fins were ripped off the cover, so everything pretty much had to be replaced. This gave me a chance to get the converter tightened up some though. All in all it cost me $325 shipped back to me, which for how much that converter cost it ain't too bad!

The trans is still going to be rebuilt, but the rebuild for the trans most likely won't be as bad as I was thinking, lol.

[DR.FORD]

Cool-
glad you are gettin' it together!!

The motor is together minus the pushrods and rockers. Those valvecovers are just on there to keep dust out, the balck ones will be back on there when its in.
