Project intervention (the 2v's 1/4 slip)

And this is where it starts. Maybe one of the only guys that starts off with a motor and don't even have the car it will go in yet. Soon though,very soon.

 

If the deal goes threw Im looking at a 98. I'll drive it for awhile and start on cosmetics while I get the rest of the parts I need for the swap. Not a whole lot to the swap in the 96 - 98 SN cars from what I have read.

 

thanks man, I need some opinions though... I also have a 03 cobra IRS as well so im trying to decide if i want to go drag with the 4R70W automatic and a 8.8 rear or go road course with a 6 speed and the IRS. Either one would be a beast but of two separate worlds.

 

Ah, allow me to elaborate. I will only be go in the general direction of either drag or road race. This will be my daily.

 

I agree, I've wanted to do a build in the road racing direction for awhile now which is why I got the IRS. I love the look of them with the splitters, toe hooks, defusers and side pipes. Im def a manual tranny guy, in the words of a good friend "I like to tell that thing when to shift".I plan to get this car and work on some much needed cosmetics and get it to a dependable daily status first. Drive it for awhile until I get the ford racing harness and computer for the coyote, the oil pan and headers for the swap. Then once I have everything I will swap to the coyote, run the auto and 8.8 until I can save up to get a 6 speed and everything i need to swap to the IRS. Then go from there with tweaking the details such as getting a tubular kmember, bigger brakes and other suspension mods for a nice daily/autoX car. Maybe go to the nearest track and hurt a few Z/28 guy's feelings.

 

Im going to pick up the car Saturday so I will be posting pics of it.

 

You heard me thinking man! May not be top pick in a drag setup but I have seen several 9 and 10 second IRS cars.

 

Thank you sir. I will definitely look into that. I was also going to mention that a set of 47lb GT500 injectors, so a tid bit of boost will be in the blue prints somewhere. I have a p1 procharger setting on the shelf but it is a carb set up so I would need to purchase all the necessary piping, intercooler, pulley, bracket, etc. etc... And I kinda told my brother he could buy it of me to put on his 66 f100 with a carbed 460 big block. So whether I go turbo or charger Im not sure but It should definitely be intense.

 

Well here she is... and all its ugliness. $1,800 cash brought it home.

 

Not real sure what they were thinking with those tail lights and those raggedy tips.
