    Car bogs bad off the launch with Nitto DRs

The punch it thing im not sure about, but you might be giving it too much juice for the grip, espicaly if u have a basicly stock motor. Gears would also...

    Intake Manifold

    body question????

    If its completly through ull have to replace it as the best bet, or if u can get to the back side of it, weld a small plate to it and then bondo the other side. Its a jurry rig fix, but complete holes are hard to fix as far as i know.

    Engine and Tranny swap

    The crown vick is an 86, the stang is a 82 gt. I would like to keep on the heads that will be better peformance wise/ ease of installation. i think the gt heads should have the larger chambers, hence not a ploblem in valve clearence.

    Engine and Tranny swap

    I heard that the 86 block is differnet than the 82 block, and that the tranny wont be the same bolt pattern. Can i keep the vick block, crank and pistions and just change the heads and powersteering and stuff? Or will i have to keep the vicky accesories? Either way i guess it wont matter, but i...
