Make sure it's got a cage, big brakes and lost of suspension goodies and enjoy the go kart feel

Well no cage. But yes 6 pot front brakes, sn95 Cobra rear brakes, and a full on Maximum Motorsports suspension with torque arm and panhard bar and subframe connectors.

At least a 4pt cage. For your safty sake

Seriously, a well done one will stiffen the crap out of that car.

I would do the 351. Its around 50lbs over the 302 and the added cubes is way worth it. you can do much more n/a with the 351 and a stroked 351 n/a is an animal and will out do anything you are going to do with the 363 n/a. just my opinion.

Man you must be a nice brother. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be paying for my sister's wedding. Even if we didn't get along like this...

Update


Here she still sits being used partially as a shelf for car wash stuff



Hello my name is Gary, and I have a problem...-image-1756801527.jpg


On a good note I ordered a new AOD transmission for her that will take up to 600hp yesterday.

The plan is to pull this stock rebuilt AOD out of it that I had put in last year and move it over to the vert. That'll finally fix the vert so I can sell it. Only other thing the vert needs is to get the top operational.

People keep trying to use mine for a shelf as well. Let's just say a lot of stuff has been "disappearing" lately.

Gary what's the tranny for?
That still doesn't sound right. Lol
It's for the '93 coupe

The '91 tranny is bad

Gonna take the regular rebuilt I got last year out of the '93 and put it in the '91. Then take this modified AOD that'll handle 600bhp and put it in the '93. This way I have room to grow with my hp.

The 91 is the vert right? Still confused though. Both are manuals right now?

Sorry. I don't know what I did, but I'm sure I did something to be sorry for.
