Soooo.... Before I can jump into my own next project which is the Pun Intended 85 XR7 Cougar for my old lady I need to fulfill my obligations to finish this car for my buddy and breath some new life into it.
My buddy picked up this 83 TC from down south and had it shipped to him up in Canada as a roller. Some may remember this car being for sale here and the story that made some people unhappy. Kid took a beautiful all original TC and stripped it of its motor and harness for a dune buggy project then just pushed the rest of the car out in his yard. My buddy scored the car for pennies and threw together a mess of parts for it. Now its up to me to bring it back to life!
As it sits it has a motor I built last year for another project that fell through {the 85 Cougar}. Shortblock came out of my low 11sec Ranger,Rods Header,PT5558,Steve Scholdes ported head and intakes. Its bolted to the original T5 and it has a fully built 8.8 now.
My job is to wire in Stingers new PNP MS ecm and harness, plumb and bolt top end of motor together,build the exhaust, move the battery,install NOS kit,Dial in front suspension and finish up all the little bits to get it track ready in the next 30 days or so.
Stay tuned!
