LXtra,
That's funny, I just wrote
82 GT mentioning to him how our setup was similar. There are a few others here who have similar setups also.
Anyways, I got my engine out of an '87 Crown Victoria that was in a junk yard. The Crown Vic was a Marshall's Dept car.
Major plans have already begun and will be implemented and hopefully completed b4 the year is over. Basic plans involve modified bottom end (forged crank, rods, Keith Black pistons) then cam (and all the goodies that go along with it), heads, long tube headers, and finally to top it off, blower.
Between now and when the project starts, the only thing I plan to do is get some stickier tires for the track and some cheap 15x7" rims to put them on.
Later.
