I've got a lot of work to do on it.
The car has a 9" rear in it now. I had to bring the rusty brake parts to the counter to match them up for new ones. I finally peiced everything together. Bought two new hubs (for a 1974 Ford E150) as well as new lines, wheel cylnders, springs, hardware, etc. Front brakes: The are the original spindles (I believe. 10" X 2-1/4" ??). Same new parts as above. I'm removing everything in the engine bay now to blast it in the next few weeks. looks good, whose hood are you using. did you have any problems with the fit. i've been looking for one but haven't liked any of the ones i've seen in the catalogs. maybe there pictures don't do them justice. did you use the stock hinges or use dzeus fasteners? thanks I ordered the entire front performance suspension from EPS(??). I also ordered drag springs from them. The interior is basically fine the way it is. It has a 6-point roll bar, race bucket seats, B&M ratchet shifter, gauges, etc. The trick C4 is ready to go in it. I'm looking (and debating) for the right converter (questions with stall). The engine is the 347 c.i. EFI that I have in my 90 Mustang (approximately 400+ h.p.). It was built for nitrous, so....I also have a 200 shot (if necessary). Waiting on wiring EFI harness. Will paint after all the mech stuff is right (that's the way ALL hot-rodders do isn't it? - wouldn't want to breake tradition). Cragar 5-spoke wheels. New 28.5 X 11" slicks and 4-1/2" front runner tires are on their way. Anyway, it 'keeps me off the streets' (pun intended). Rick cheesy pic. will have before and after pics later. |
