    Progress Thread 12th Owner: My '93 Notchback Restoration & Performance Build

    I'm with ya man. Just built a Dart based 363, and put a TKX behind it. There were several little hiccups to get it going. I'm still working on my tune for driveability, as my Ed Curtis cam is rowdy. I've had moments of "why didn't I just buy X," or "why didn't I do X?" As it's started to get...

    Appreciate the info boys! I plan to run a decent stereo, so that was the thought behind the 200 amp alternator. I'll rerun that as a 2ga wire.

    No problem on the pics. Funny you mention the wipers. I took them off when removing the cowl to adjust the hood hinge, and simply forgot to put them back on. That's the bare mount, nothing over it. I need to paint the arms and reinstall them!

    A couple beauty shots, although the car has not yet seen a detailer, so don't zoom in too closely.

    Well, I had two small issues with the HO Fibretrends hood order. His shipping company only has 1 single terminal in Iowa, which was two hours away from me. So after paying $180 for truck shipping, I still had to drive two hours each way to get it.. HO did refund $100 of the shipping cost to...

    My Cobra R hood is painted and back on the car. Never did get an exterior pic as the car is filthy, but I snapped a pic of the underside that I painted myself. It's raw fiberglass finish, so not smooth, but good enough for me. I also painted my intake tube to match. I routed it in a way that get...

    So, inflation's a b@#$^, but car part inflation's even worse!

    Do it to the New Edge!

    Got out and fixed the charging wire. All good again. We have one more tuning session left to work out some drivability. Then it needs the A/C charged and an alignment. Beyond that, it will be improvement mods. Tighter shifter (stock TKX shifter is sloppy), decent stereo, IRS upgrades, and...

    Where's the fun in that? (Says a guy who just paid Coyote swap funds for a Dart 363) While I appreciate the greatness of the Coyote, they just don't have the car shaking lope of a built pushrod engine. To me, that's half the appeal.

    Went for a leisurely drive around town to break in the clutch properly, and found out I must have a burnt out or removed battery light bulb. Stopped to get a snack and the battery was dead. Took about 3 seconds to find that the alternator wire had come out of the connector. From the looks of it...

    Harmonic balancer wobble.

    When you go through the rpm range in neutral, does it vibrate? If so, it's engine related. If not, drivetrain. FWIW, I have a new Pioneer balancer sitting on a shelf, never used. You can have it for the cost of shipping if you end up needing one. I ended up buying a used engine that came with a...

    I sourced all the parts and a local shop to me named D & R engines assembled it all for me and broke it in on the dyno.

    The basics are set up. We took it's maiden voyage down my blacktop road, but the coilovers decided to settle an inch in the rear, and about a half inch in the front, so the exhaust scraped on every bump. I am going out to adjust the height back up, and try to tuck the exhaust better. My tuner is...

    Never tried it before, but I may give it a go. A friend of mine has a nice DA he buffs his boat with. All I would be out is the pads and compound.

    Man, learn from me, and don't let your car get covered in thick dirt/dust. My paint is trashed after a power wash and mit wash. Correction is going to be spendier than I thought. The car was super clean when I bought it, and now... Edit: there are a lot of white towel fuzzies on the car after...

    the Ranchero disaster & Brand X update

    I believe I have a new Fox air dam that I never installed prior to parting out the '89. You can have it for the shipping cost from me to you if I can find it.
