IM'd ya back...but here's the IM for those wanting to know a bit about my car....
Haha...funny thing is I did a bunch of googling...found your old ebay ad. Then saw you said you were 10secgoal on Stangnet. Remembering I had an account there...since 2002 I came here searching.
I appreciate you getting back to me. Right now I'm on the tail end of getting hired on w/ the Federal Bureau of Prisons in Chicago and therefore money is sorta tight as I finish up grad school.
That price is very appealing and I'm just shocked more people haven't gone this route. Granted it is semi new territory for classics but just seeing what turbos do for Terminators got me intrigued to do it for the '69.
As for the parts replacing I'm not worried about and figured I would have to go w/ colder plugs...easy as many family friends are in the drag racing business and I can pick those up rather quickly. As for the Holley...I've got one sitting on a '65 block 289 I'm rebuilding so I'm familiar w/ those carbs. You don't know how many times I've almost replaced the carb on my 306 as I'm less than impressed w/ Edelbrock carbs. They make a lot of great products but carbs are not one of them.
As for the TCP rack I can try and get ya some pics of it but dunno how much good that'll do for ya and you'd probably be better off just checking out your customer's car w/ the rack. W/ that said I would recommend that rack to all Mustang owners as it has totally changed the way my car drives. Bolted right in w/ no problems either.
I'll keep in touch but I'm shooting for maybe an early spring date for this to happen. (Hopefully by then I'll have my new job and all settled in...being engaged doesn't help my financial status any. )
Thanks,
Pat
It's got a 306 in it w/ a C4 (2800 stall), 8" rear (hopefully w/ in the next 6 months a nice 9"). The car is not lowered but has a TCP rack which 10secgoal said he'd need to check out. The car will be lowered eventually but I think I'll wait til I get the turbo kit and see how much clearance I have on the DP before I go w/ the drop. Also I plan on putting some TTII 9.5" rears on as they're 17X8 right now in the rear w/ a 245 on the rear. 17X7 up front w/ 245's. Lips aren't rolled but I'll wait and see on that once everything falls into place.
Here's the car this would be going on....
BTW The engine bay is dirty in this pic and is now housing an MSD distributor and also has no power steering pump any more. Also the battery is being relocated to the trunk to clear up some more room. The tower bars will also be replaced w/ some sort of tubular type bars.
The rear normally doesn't have that much height on it but after being in storage the air shocks had settled a bit and so I aired them up all the way for awhile so they could regain their seal. The rear on a normal day sits about an inch lower than in the pics....
