    So how much difference do you think weight makes?

    I'll definitely add items for strength but will compare weights of those items, too. I'm only 163 but 6'4" so even if I put my backseat back in, it wouldn't do any good because no one can fit in the back, my seat's almost all the way back.

    Got Some Cash, What To Do?

    did you do the rear brakes, too? Didn't see that on the list. Maybe get them up to speed with the fronts. Or just set it aside for the new motor in that savings account

    So how much difference do you think weight makes?

    K-member is coming but waiting until I can afford the coilovers and 5 lug conversion to do at the same time. And since I'll have the axle apart, of course gears.

    So how much difference do you think weight makes?

    gonna wait on the heads until i build my 347. I don't want to mess with the '86 block and heads/cam due to the compression. It sounds like I need valve reliefs to really run anything. It has E7 heads on it now. The guy put them on not too long before I bought it. The car only has 87,000 miles on...

    So how much difference do you think weight makes?

    I'd like to drop some more weight but not mess with any structural integrity. I have pulled the smog, equipment, went manual steering rack, no A/C, no backseat, and i pulled the insulation out from behind the interior trim panels. It was a bit musty and the sound doesn't bother me. The car also...

    IRS in a fox

    The one here is gone. It only had about 7000 miles on it and looked like it was brand new. One for $600? Jump all over that. Sometimes you can find someone who wants to trade one for a well built solid 8.8, too.

    alternator swap questions

    I want to switch over to a 1-wire high amp alternator on my '86 GT. I'm thinking of running a big GM one. Whoops, I said the 'G' word. :nono: Anyways, there are 2 plugs coming out of the alternator right now with a total of 4 wires. If I run a 1 wire up to the solenoid on the firewall, will I...

    fuel line help

    yeah, I'm using the 3/8" one. That's what it calls for and none of the others fit. I was puliing pretty friggin' hard on it while wiggling and twisting with the pliers. Maybe I'll go at it again tomorrow, it will probably just pop right off.

    fuel line help

    I'm trying to install my FMU and am having a heck of a time getting the return line to "unclip" even using 2 different tools I have for it. I've tried gripping the line with pliers (using a cloth to protect the line) and twist it a little while pulling/using the tool. Any suggestions? It is...

    +1 When I took mine in for the alignment after the pro-kit springs, they said I needed the plates.

    Lowering Springs

    pretty much anything would work then if you're going to sell it. There are several manufacturers. I used the Eibach pro-kit springs on a '98 I had, handled awesome and dropped it about 1.5-2".

    Need a good fan controller!

    I am running the stock alternator on my '86 right now. The dual speed fan I have is fine until it kicks on to high, then the gauge shows breaking even. I also do no have a stereo in it either. I just ordered an electric water pump so I defintiely am going to be adding a different alternator. The...
