Project "MERCULES" Z7 Street/Strip Build

[mcmuckin]

I'm new here and thought I would use this post to introduce myself. I've been searching for a Fairmont for a long time, I've been a fan of them ever since my dad built a wagon when I was a kid. Typically I've only really worked on Japanese cars and this is my first time building anything drag race oriented, so bear with me!

I had a 4 door that I was getting ready to build when a smoking deal came up on this car, and It had a ton of parts I had intended to buy anyways so I really couldnt turn it down.

So this is what I purchased, 1983 Mercury Zephyr Z7, which I have titled "Mercules"

It already had a ton of work done to it;
MSD wiring
Misimoto rad
Tubular K member
Coilovers
5 lug-converted
JEGS drag wheels
built 8.8 with yukon gear axles
billet weightjacker trailing arms
Sumped fuel tank (Dented unfortunately)
sketchy wiring
