Anyway, last time the car was started was june 20th of last year <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite3" alt=":(" title="Frown    :(" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":(" /> I decided to slow down on the house projects and making alittle progress on the sn95. In the mean time I've also done alittle work to my wifes 08 fusion such as adding eibach prokit and new wheels that she picked out. The projects seem never ending at time I swear. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite9" alt=":eek:" title="Eek!    :eek:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":eek:" />ccasion14:I'll post a couple pics of the fusion first just for sh!ts and grins.Stock<img src="http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w301/Pro5ohKid/08%20Fusion/101_1352.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Lowered on stock wheels<img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3202/3149497736_8fb62b8575_o.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Lowered with Rims<img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3257/3216992772_ece3f8df56_b.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3367/3216139265_ff3676c196_b.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />The engine will be a basic rebuild which is on my back porch now with 89 crank that was polished, forged pistons, arp hardware through out for the basics. Going back on it will be GT40 irons (non-p's), e-cam (I already had it), explorer intake, then probably a 150 shot.this is the last time the car seen daylight and before this i didn't seen daylight for 4 months <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite3" alt=":(" title="Frown    :(" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":(" /> I was in progess of moving (9-20-08)<img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3160/3086272476_b55f1fdaa2.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Getting ready to pull it out.<img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3469/3273207058_e32958ca02.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Where the turds currently reside, this was after the motor was pulled.<img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3412/3273162956_f72d1f7330.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3484/3272342839_1dd0b0bddc.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />I have ALOT of cleaning ahead of me as I plan to hide much of the wiring, and eventually welding up all the useless holes.<img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3514/3272342213_5eccab42b8.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Here is after opening up the stock engine for the first time..(112k miles which 97k were uncared for as far as i'm concerned)<img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3445/3272343445_b7a33aab35_b.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />As far as s197, a few months ago it went 12.94@106.89 w/ 1.92 60' with a best mph of 107.02 Mods consists of mail order VMP Tune (SCT xcal3), mac axle back, off road x-pipe, stock 3.31 gears and m/t dr's. The 4.10's were recently installed but I haven't made it back to the track yet. My realistic goal will be 12.7x and my unrealistic goal will be 12.5's with suspension work in the future.
