No traction,sucks
 

The Lx I have been working on is complete,It was a 4cly body that I introduced a 1990 5.0l,(I still need to add the engine mods to my profile)anyway it has 3.73s with a 5 speed and a one wheel peel,lol last weekend I was pretty dissapointed I ran a 14.9 at 93mph 1/4 mile time.
my 60 feet was in the 3 second mark I was spinning pretty much the length of the track,mad as I was I over reved the f#$$ thing and dropped a valve,anyway I think I will weld the 7.5 rearend solid and try slicks,I think i can run mid 13s next time.

I have $2,000 total investment in this car,lol,I'd like to see a ricer pull that one off.

also where might I find a set of gt40 heads or something similiar.

Im surprised this thread has not been moved?
Well any rate, I wouldnt waste money on gt-40's, I have some ported i been running, for the price they are not bad, i paid like 300 for em, but would rather have some aluminum heads
The one wheel peel means your trak lok needs a rebuild, (assuming the 7.5 is similar) the clutch paks can be bought at a ford dealer for about 70$, I did it myself but should be done in a shop if you never done any rearend work.

The 7.5" rear is not a Trak-Loc diff. You should be able to pick up a used 8.8" for not too much money. I got a junkyard one for my '79 for $100 and just put in some new gears, bearings and seals.
That 7.5" will probably break if you try to launch with slicks.

Welding it up will get you the traction for a while, but I agree the 7.5 is not probably gonna hold with a set of slicks for long.
