Well old friends, here we are a touch more than a year from the last update. I've been busy working on my old house and living the family life, and the Fox collected dust. Thought I had it sold several months back, but the guy ended up being a tire kicker.
Had a front end boo boo, and messed up my home made front bumper. I had kinda been wanting to go back to the Fox GT front end anyway, the more I looked at the ol gal. So off came the front end, and I realized this is a perfect time to swap in my Ed Curtis cam I've had laying around.
Started the tear down this past Sunday to find I unknowingly had a spun cam bearing, and it fell out of place as I pulled the cam out of the engine...
So I'm at a crossroads, and want opinions. I have already ordered a custom wrap for the car that I planned to install after the front end was finished, so I don't have plans to sell the car anymore. With this engine dilemma, do I A) have the engine gone though, and have the new cam Ed ground for my current combo installed professionally and be done? (most cost effective) B) attempt to sell the new cam and TF 170 heads, and have the shop maximize this 347 while it's out of the car? C) try to sell the 347 as is, along with the T5 and aluminum driveshaft, and find a Coyote package to swap in... This would require me selling my fun 2 stroke race quad to help fund. However, after the bodywork/wrap and Coyote swap were completed, this car will be something unique I can be proud of and road trip anywhere in. So, if you read all that, what would you do in my shoes?
