Looks and sounds good. I'm not used to seeing the 2.3's under the hood so it looked funny at first. Having more than V-8 power is where it's at though! Is that a Scott Rod panel on the passenger side?Originally Posted by martin0660

I love those panels and would love to do it with mine but I'd have to relocate the battery and a bunch of other stuff. It'll be easier for me to leave it alone. LOL!

That is slick Bob. Im going to go with the cowl cover as mine wont see rain when Im done and a driver side mirror cover as I have a passenger side mirror delete car. I hate the way it looks with one mirror. Scott

Man, this so-called 'smart' phone sure takes some crappy pics. You can't see the Ford part numbers on them. They're the Crane Cobra 1.7s. They all reached 20 lbs. between a half and 3/4 turns.
When I went to put the valve covers back on, I messed up, and put the one without the filler neck on the passenger side...
Just need to throw the plugs and fan back in, and I can see how she runs/sounds. I've also got a March crankshaft pulley waiting to go on. If it all works right, it should give me a nice little boost in power and MPG.

I'm getting together a 347 for my LTD LX, should be able to get the shortblock done between semesters, hope to have complete engine done and installed by the fall. Still need to get to the track to get final numbers for this 302, best so far is 7.92@86. Since then I've swapped from 3.73 to 4.10s, 27.9" to 26" drag radials, and some work on the holley upper, and tune.
1985 LTD LX, Mach1 brakes, 17" Mopar police car wheels. 302, T5, 4.10s
1984 LTD station wagon, with 84GT nose, some might remember it as the old Dugan Racing station wagon.

1990 Red LX, ported AFR heads, TFS-R box upper, weenie cam, 1 3/4 long accufabs, 3" exhaust, T5, 4.56
Well my game is now officially stepped up with the 347. This thing pulls hard at any RPM. Just a couple little bugs to work out and it'll be time for some real runs.

I successfully slowed my junk down ... Seems to not like this cam.
Best pass of the weekend was a 11.27 at 122.5, then I broke a fork in the transmission. Stills great weekend in the sun
Here is a video from in car with a little gear banging ...

Cool vid! Looks like you barely had enough time to get spooled up before the green light.
I was only slightly wondering if I was going to see the other car come creeping into view in your quarter window, there at the end, but no. He probably wasn't catching up by very much...

The 15 GT in the other lane is my good buddy ... He went 11.99 Friday but was 12.10 on that pass to my 11.27 .... For what it's worth, the only more on that car is headers, his own exhaust, and his own tune (not even a CAI). Simply amazing in what it is.
My car is set up so that I don't need much time to spool, move in to the floor, and it's on launch boost. People play games with me staging thinking I need time, and simply don't. I can get on boost faster than most NA guys can get on a converter.

Sweet video! Did you spin on the launch? An 11.27 is still good in my book!

Yanked stock 302. GT40P heads. RV Luanti cam. Eldebrock Performer, with Eldebrock 600. Headers. Will have X pipe with Flowmaster dumps. Bought a 92 GT doner for a T- 5. And also have an 8.8 out of a 93 GT w/ 373 s. And removed all smog junk. With all of that installing rear control arms, sub-frame connectors, lowering springs, and a strut tower brace. My 82 GT t-top should be a blast to drive this summer! I can't wait! !
Add an Astro A5 to my game. My T5 didn't even hold up long enough for me to make it the track. 3rd gear let go under hard acceleration.
