Hello all! New guy here. I'm just about to start on my '85 Marquis Wagon project.
The car was originally my grandmothers car, then my grandfather drove it, and then it was parked. It's sat for almost 10 years but now I've decided to resurrect it.
The plan is to make it a fun street/strip car.
The setup is as follows:
- 306sbf, callies crank, speed pro pistons, scat rods, lunati cam, pro comp heads with alve Angle 2'deg, Comp Valve Springs 2'02' / 1.60', Intake Volume 190cc, Chamber Volume 62'cc scorpion 1.6 rr Edelbrock Vic. Jr intake, and 650cfm Demon carb
- Reverse manual valve body C4 with 3,200 stall, Alto Red Eagle clutches, kevlar bands, and billet servo
- Hooker super comp headers, with 3" 1-chamber flows
- Strange 10 ways on all 4 corners
- 17x4.5 Alumastars up front and 17x9.25 Alumastars for the street. Swap to 15x10 Alumastars for the track.
- 373 geared 8.8 with disc brakes out back
- D&D tubular K member and tubular a-arms with coil overs
- stock Mustang GT rear springs
- NOS Big Shot kit
Here it is in it's current glory and my pile of parts!
I have all of the fuel system parts purchased but not sure what to do about the fuel tank. The stock one is kinda offset to the right and ribbed... My plan is to have a sumped tank as I'm not wanting to put a fuel cell in the back. I still gotta haul stuff, right? I guess I could cut out the spare tire well, weld a flat piece of metal over the hole, and then I could mount a Mustang tank, but I'd like to avoid that, if possible.
Any suggestions or tips???
Thanks for looking!!!
