    Fox Na 306 E7te Heads 368hp/363tq

    last time I ran the car, the d/a conversion worked out to 11.891 @ 115.796 Today, 11.621 @ 119.472 , so, car and driver are headed in the right direction... even if the 60's sucked.

    Fox Na 306 E7te Heads 368hp/363tq

    @RangerJoe I'd be very happy with that... tandem axle dove tail, nice. Elec brakes? That's what I'm keeping an eye out for kinda like to have an 18' but, not going to be too fusy if the price is right... that orange strip express towed straight as an arrow behind the F150, so, don't see...

    Fox Na 306 E7te Heads 368hp/363tq

    Well... was a lot of fun but the track was prepped for the 800-1200hp cars on stock GM rear ends. Was a sea of newer vettes/cameros/caddy's... all with mega hp but weak diffs, so, the starting line was very poor and about 35-40' out there was bite. Best 60' on the day was a poor 1.70x, tried...

    Fox Na 306 E7te Heads 368hp/363tq

    4.5" ET Fronts and the same old ET Streets out back, 26x10.50 bias... on classic welds. Loaded up, and, in the am I'll throw tool boxes, gas cans and CO2 in the bed and be ready to roll... Headed to Tucson... 2hrs was too much to drive on the strip rubber. Hate the "orange stripe express", but...

    Fox Na 306 E7te Heads 368hp/363tq

    Well, headed to the track tomorrow, been 2 years and 5 days since it was last at the track... zoinks! Time flies. Looking to enjoy the day (private track rental) but am not expecting good times as the d/a forecast is listed below. Guess if I can run 12.7's in that weather I'm doing good. Kinda...

    Turbo Project Complete. Humps And Bumps

    5th is a define no. Also, I think either your tach, or your math is off, or you've got clutch slip... 1:1 in 4th gear ... 109mph, 3.73's and a 26" tire is only 5300rpm... say you peak at 111mph (109 = 60' average)... still only 5400rpm. With a stock motor that's near ideal... I would guess with...

    Swapping Out Stock Maf For Aftermarket Worth It?

    Is this car a daily driver? Is it kept in a garage? I ask, because, the answers to the above are no and yes, then, put Grundy/Hagerty etc. insurance on it as a special interest car/collector, and never do emissions again, and save a bunch on insurance annually. Having said that, intake/tb/mam...

    My Son Has A Nicer Car Then Me!

    Well, sure, "anyone" can go buy a new car and make payments... but, I'd be lying if I didn't say I've pondered selling the LX, and buying SRT Grand Cherokee or GT350. There is an lure... Then I jump in the LX and go for a Sunday cruise... get positive comments at stop lights, get thumbs up from...

    Dream Crusher Strikes Again

    Yes, all kinds of rumors about agreements between sellers and buyers at the BJ auction regarding those Fox's... also heard they were bought back by the seller... I can see a mint low mile Fox going to 10-12 to the "right buyer"... but I'd not want to chance it in an auction environment. Being a...

    What's Your Daily Driver?

    mmm... not so much... Ford yes, Jeep, sure... then AMC took a shot, followed by Chrysler, Merc and now Fiat... Wish Ford would build a real bronco... but looks like they are going to make a 2dr Explorer... mmm no thanks. I dream of the day I can purchase Jeep and return them to their proper...

    What's Your Daily Driver?

    Run away from the Audi. Everyone I know that has, (or had) one spent a tonne on it to keep it running, and spent almost as much time in loaners or rentals while their beloved Audi sat at the shop. For the price of an A5 you could get a very nice Grand Cherokee V8, Explorer 3.5ecoboost...

    What's Your Daily Driver?

    Daily a boring bottom of the barrel F150... 3.5ecobost and max payload... work truck... stock as a rock. This is my every other Friday driver, and weekend run about... '13Jk... tonnes of "stuff"... And, my wife's daily, and our road trip vehicle... '14 Overland, loaded, Hemi... stock as a...

    My Son Has A Nicer Car Then Me!

    Good for him! When I was younger, I was never in a position to be able to afford a nice car. Now that I'm older a GT350 sure looks good, but I'm too crusty to flop the coin down :).

    Fox Ten Speed Transmission

    Couple guys I work with made the switch from 3.5eco/6spd to 3.5eco/10spd and have reported the same thing. I have the 3.5eco/6spd, and like it a lot, but lust for the 10speed (the extra 50tq would be nice too).

    Fox Ten Speed Transmission

    Going from a 5spd to 8spd in the Grand Cherokee's with Hemi was worth a little over a second 0-60 and near a second and a half in the 1/4. I believe it was even more significant with the V6 and it's narrower TQ band. The biggest difference is simply driving around, or towing... when it's got the...

    Fox Ten Speed Transmission

    My Grand Cherokee Hemi has the ZF 8spd... it's a thing of beauty, so much so that it's the first automatic I've ever driven that made me say, I can see this being the doom of manual transmissions. In regular mode you don't even know when it's shifting (unless you watch the tach or really...

    Clean Low Miles Foxbody

    Nice car... the green ones are fast :). 60k miles here too... original glass/headlights/tails/paint/interior... until you open the hood, hit the key or look underneath it says "stock". guys in the club call it one of 2 things... time capsule, or, unicorn. Very uncommon around here... as are pony...

    Fox Ten Speed Transmission

    Yep, first use was in the F150 line-up, then the Corvette got it... now it's in a bunch of stuff. Ford and GM co-developed it. The version in the Corvette shifts very quick/hard.
