I have to ask though, what happened to the 86 notch? I was really looking forward to that build!
I got it to the point I was going to wire it up and was offered ALOT for the car as a roller. I pulled the engine/trans/wiring back out...sold it. It's currently getting a termi swap.
that's too bad John, I was realy looking forward to the 86 buildup as that is one of my fav fox years.
I guess we will just have to settle for a 10sec aero, lol.

That emblem, as well as the spoiler goes this weekend. Can't stand either of them!
I wouldn't say youre asking for trouble, just make sure the tune is there.

Update: Longblock is done and installed. Most of the accessories are there, to include the SC. Waiting on the pushrods before I install the Systemax II intake and fuel system. I still hate longtubes, especially with a scattershield and stock K member. What a PITA!
The longblock in it's final stages:
Waiting for the intake:
Almost done:
I should be able to fire it up next week, barring any delays.

Ok, so I ported them to a 1415 FelPro...and completely blended them to the bowl. So I got a lil crazy with the grinder. The intake ports are just polished. ![[Wink]](wink.gif)

Yup. It was cheaper than new rockers. I had 1.7 stud mounts already. A $30 set of studs and alot of drilling/tapping later...I was set.

Then get on it! Plenty of chargers for sale.
Pushrods showed last night. I got energetic and put them in, as well as the intake. Still have a valve lash to do...install the rest of the intake/piping...and button the rest up. It *may* be running this weekend.

Hey folks- car is nearly complete. Waiting on a intake spacer for the Holley setup and she's done. Things got put on the back burner due to the Mrs deciding she didn't want to play house anymore (divorce...) and my right shoulder being torn up (rotator cuff and labrum) so I'm outta commission for a while. My son has volunteered to finish the car with my direction. ![[Cool]](cool.gif) I'll have pics up on the car shortly...

Went through it in 2005. This last one made it 16 mos. I'm done with it...gonna stick to 20-somethings that think relationships are tabu and enjoy Jagerbombs.
