      Default Back again, with another LTD

      Used to be a member here a few years ago, but sold the LTD wagon I had before I went to Korea, some may recognize it


      Got the itch for another sleeper lately and about that time I came across this '85 LTD LX, so grabbed it up. Drove it on the trailer and then drove it up to the front of my garage, pretty good deal for $175 I thought.
      I've pulled the engine and have set the 351 into it. Swapping in an 8.8" rear, and 5 lugs right now. It will be fuel injected, with a Vic Sr carb intake that has been converted, long tube headers, 3"exhaust, 4R70W trans and probably 4.10 or 4.30 gears.



      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.
      1986 FHP coupe, stock shortblock, TW heads, Holley SMII intake, 4.88, T5Z
      1990 Red LX, ported AFR heads, TFS-R box upper, weenie cam, 1 3/4 long accufabs, 3" exhaust, T5, 4.56

      Damn ... now I've suddenly got an itch to ditch my daily beater and pick up an LTD for a second project - I see 'em listed all the time around these parts for next to nothing, and you can do as much with 'em as (if not more than) any Mustang without attracting the attention of cops and car thieves.

      Definitely interested in seeing how this one develops...

      I've not yet done the SEFI conversion. I have most of the parts but other things that I feel are more important. Like getting the GT to where I want it. Coarse, then theres not wanting to do it at times.
