Hi,
My first post in this thread gives a brief history of this model car. It is basically a 4 door sedan that Ford used as a family car and also developed factory options that could be purchased to improve handling and performance. Ford also developed a race spec version that they used in production car racing. As far as the diff goes it will be a Ford 9" either True Trac or LSD centre |

I've done a bit of a dummy mock up of the stance of the car. These are not the wheels I will be using I borrowed them from a mate.
The Rear wheels are 20" and the Front will have 19". Ground clearance to the lowest part of the car will be 4.5 inches. Attachment 187878 Attachment 187879 |

What are those wheels that are on now for the mock-up? They're very hot looking.

I'm pretty sure they are Boyd Corrington Junk Yard Dog wheels
Thanks. |
Hello, Thank you for sharing this build with us. I LOVE that color! the ride height is awesome and thanks for sharing a bit of history from the car you are working on.
subscribed! |
Thanks for the positive feed back and I'm glad your enjoying my build.

Reminds me of one of my first cars, a '68 Falcon Futura 4 door. Previous owners had done some funky things to that car.
It came from the factory with the 200 CID straight six and 3-speed manual shift on the column. A previous owner put a Hurst floor shifter in and abandoned the column linkage - duct-taped the column! So, fancy shifter for the little six-banger. Of yeah, and the car still had a bench front seat, so you had to have the seat back a certain amount or you could not get the car into 3rd gear. What were they thinking? Thankfully your build is nothing like that car! |

I thought I'd share a picture of some bling that I've just had made.
Some Billet Alloy Camshaft Covers. What do you think? I was going to run the stack injection but I've decided to run twin turbo's instead. Attachment 187767 |
You selling the stacks? What kind of tuning would that setup require??
|
God I want those cam covers too!

The motec has full control over the coyote vvt-ti. I could not use it in the end because the system is designed for a manual. I want to run a the 6R80 trans. I looked into a stand alone TCM but there are none available for the 6R80 so twin turbo is the way I'm going know. His stage 1 produces 520hp and his stage 2 with his cams is around 570 hp |

They are the only CNC billet cam covers that I'm aware of. Direct replacement for the factory covers. I took me awhile to talk him into making them for me. They look great, I wanted something that looked old school for my build era. |
Not much to report at the moment. My Bonspeed wheels have been delayed so I cannot measure and fit the rear end and drive shaft till they turn up.
Sh!t happens I guess :lol3: just have to be patient |
