rustorbust Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Hey what are the rim dimensions and tire size on the rear, that car looks mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naviathan Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Nice...Do you have a thread on your engine and drive train install? I have a 351W sitting in the garage at home I want to build to drop in my 77. I think I'm going to shift my stroker project to my 81 and get the fun cubes in the 77.

LMoore56 Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Nice car, I'm still trying to get started. But still gatering ideas, trying to get the time, and also the extra cash needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stangracr Posted January 20, 2008 Author Share Posted January 20, 2008 I just backed it out of the garage for pics. I have made a real post of my build yet. I just havnt had the time to do a good job of writing it out yet. Maybe when its done I will take the time and make a nice post. When i have some time I will post the engine combo. I really like 331 stroker combos. I have another 331 in my 92 Mustang and love the thing. The short version of the Z combo is 331 with all forged internals, custom grind camshaft from Ford Performance Solutions. 10.5 to 1 compression , victor jr with 750 hp series Holley. Pro Comp aluminum heads (cheap heads but I got a deal on them so I used em) I did have lots of work done to the heads to make them perform better, also had .30 taken of the heads for more compression. All valve work and the .30 off the heads was per Ford Performance. I have Trick Flow heads done by Foxlake on my mustang but I wanted to go somewhat budget on this one and I had the pro comps. Im also a big believer in custom grind camshafts. I also put one in the mustang. I think this combo should perform pretty well and I can always change the heads later if I need to. I think it will be fast enough to be fun. I also have a NOS kit for the car if needed. ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stangracr Posted January 25, 2008 Author Share Posted January 25, 2008 Your not supposed to run the car down. It is a couple different colors of blue. No problem I have a body shop friend to take care of that too. ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 now you see why i was picky on who i sold it too man! someone who is doing something with it, instead of just beating on it and not finishing the project. ok, now i go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr_hunt Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Silent painted the mural on the wall before he painted the car, hence the many shades of blue. :lmao: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stangracr Posted January 29, 2008 Author Share Posted January 29, 2008 Cars coming along good. I had exhaust put on today. Real happy with how it sounds and how it looks. I have the dash out of the car and all new stewart warner white face gauges installed. Silent had starter the gauge install. Looks nice. Gotta get the dash back in it next time I have some time to work on it. Little more wiring to clean up. I also have a new heater core for the car. Looks like a total pain in the azz. The streets were dry when I drove it to the exhaust shop. Car seems real quick. Gotta do some tuning and get the car the rest of the way together. Cant wait till spring. Paint and body next.
