Since I'm a tech. now, he asked me if I want to try and get it running again, and of course I said yes, but I have to be allowed to drive it when fixed <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite7" alt=":p" title="Stick Out Tongue    :p" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":p" />. I won't be able to start looking into it until spring but since I went out to the farm today, I took a few snaps of it. It has been literally sitting in the same spot for 15 YEARS, yes, 15. Car is a 1971 Mercury Cougar XR7, has a 351 cleveland in it with a C4, mild cam, he ran mid 14s with it back in the mid 90s on street tires with it. Apparently, it has a spun bearing, but I have never heard the car run. So my plan is to pull the engine and inspect. I'm trying to convince him to let me build a mild 351w for it, but it will take a bit lol. Anyways, here's the pics. Sorry for bad quality, taken with my crackberry with very bad lighting because the door is stuck closed because of the snow.<img src="http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o152/Rice_slayer/IMG00272-20111219-1623.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o152/Rice_slayer/IMG00273-20111219-1623.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o152/Rice_slayer/IMG00274-20111219-1624.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o152/Rice_slayer/IMG00275-20111219-1624.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o152/Rice_slayer/IMG00276-20111219-1624.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o152/Rice_slayer/IMG00277-20111219-1624.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
