I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

Really lookin' great!! Personal opinion, use an F150 to tow it next time. I really hate seeing a Ford being pulled by a bowtie. The other way around doesn't bother me though. lol.

More not so good news....just drained the oil and it looked like metallic paint. Seems to be aluminum.

I have a 302 block in my shed, and my brother is up from PA for a few weeks. If you wind up needing a new block, I'll hook you up cheap.

I am going to try and stick with it. I was so ready to put this on the road and drive it.


Only video I have and I stopped it early!

Be sure to fullsize it. That was to 5400rpm

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
That thing is packin' alright. I'll say also that it looks positively sinister, the black bullitt wheels do it IMO. We're gonna need some burnout/donut/something crazy and or stupid videos :hick:

Yes, but we ended up going with a different system for tuning. Also, with the motor being hurt, I could use some money!

I haven't tore it down yet, but here's my guess...broken ring(s), piston rubbing the side of the block. I don't really want to go with a 351. Would need a new intake, crossover pipe and possibly have to relocate the turbo. I may drop a stock block in and go for it.
