    had a wreck in the snow

    Earlier this winter on our first significant snow day, my 05GT's ass end kicked out while i was driving straight and like 20 mph! If your all seasons have any amount of wear on them, they're no good in snow. Luckily I just spun into a grassy area and was able to get out. That day I took her to...

    I ordered these from Brenspeed this morning. Couldn't beat the price at $189 compared to the $420 summit racing wants for them. Anyone ordered from Brenspeed before and now how long they take to get stuff out to you?

    Ahh girls ...

    I blame her father for babying her and her mother. She's really not too bad past the whole "hand smelling like gas" thing.

    Ahh girls ...

    I used to take care of all that stuff for her when she had an Alero. Then she wanted a new car and got a Honda and I warned her I only work on Ford, GM, and Chrysler cars. She didn't believe me.

    A 428 would be great in the S197

    Something else to think about...He bought his short block for $3000. Heads were a grand, carb was 500 and then about 2500 in other various machining and parts he said. That's about $7500 and it makes 555 RWH and 676 RWT. So our engine is $800 cheaper but makes more than 250 less horse and...

    A 428 would be great in the S197

    My neighbor has a 428 in his 69 Cougar and just had it dyno'd this weekend and has 555 RWhorses and 676 RWtorque ... all N/A The 428 is narrower than the modular 4.6 so fitting shouldn't be an issue. I'd love to have that in my S197.

    N/A versus F/I

    My dad is an old timer from back in the muscle car days. He has a '64 GOAT (it was his first car) and hes adamant that "theres no replacement for displacement". He thinks the only way to go to build up a muscle car is starting with a bigger block. I kinda want to keep my 281 and supercharge...

    I was going to do that but no one would bend stainless and I wasn't putting aluminized pipe on.

    No jacking on the rear diff.

    I noticed on the owners manual it says not to jack on the rear differential. I've always used the rear differential to raise the rear end. Any reason for this?

    Got the Hurst short throw shifter

    2 things bigcat.... that was a BITCH to get the new shifter back thru the opening... and I hoped the clip on the rear mount bolt was just something Ford used during assembly cuz i ripped that MF'er out of there and didn't put it back on.

    Got the Hurst short throw shifter

    Quick, crappy camera phone pic before I head out tonight. I'll get a better one tomorrow. I went with the T-handle because..... well just because I like it. Thanks to Bigcat for the installation directions. It was helpful.

    Would I be a Ricer...

    LOL you're right. Like I said, I'd never put it on my Mustang. I just think it's funny b/c I'm surrounded by Chevy guys in my department at work and I have no Ford guys with me.
