    bad day for the 86 GT

    can't drive stick due to injuries in Iraq. If not I would so I have to stick with an automatic. Just trying to find a junkyard replacement better suited for street/strip use. I want to go the c4 route but I have no idea how to make one work:flag:

    Yeah I know. It's not like I am building her a 347 or anything. And she wrenches on it on occassion. But the baby takes priority. She bought the car anyways. Plus once I blow this motor in my car I am going to transplant my terminator motor into my car:flag:

    bad day for the 86 GT

    Yeah I know that is why I ain't pissed. I knew it was bound to happen. It was just a matter of time. At least I get to clean up the tranny and clean the underside of the car. Damn AOD shuffle:flag:

    bad day for the 86 GT

    So I went to the track on thursday(Irwindale 1/8) and was hitting 9.10@78 mph with an AOD. I was doing the AOD shuffle (yeah I know bad for the tranny) and it did fine up until today.

    The first time I picked up my GF in my old 86 she got the crap scared out of her. It was raining and I decided to show her what American drift is like. She cursed so much and she is still here today So I guess she is a keeper. In the process of building her a 92 notch:flag:

    AOD went boom

    My AOD in my 86 decided to lose a couple of gears today 42 miles from home. I limped it home in first and second(took the streets). When I got closer to home 1st and second started slipping real bad. Could it be the bands? I am not familiar with the AOD. Also if the AOD is to much work what is...

    How to wheel stand...

    seen it on drag radials and stock suspension. Basically(though I've never hung the front tires in my stang) it equates to traction and power. Somebody correct me if I am wrong. 600hp on a stock block?!? Take pics and post them after you split the block:flag:

    running rich SD

    between 2800-3500 rpm it is just running really rich. At idle it runs a little rich but I ain't worried about it too much. I am just wondering what would cause it. I'll check fuel pressure this weekend. Thanks:flag:

    running rich SD

    My 86 has E7s on it,bbk shorties, and an MSD coil. After I put the e7s on it started running rich. Any ideas on what could be the problem? My timing is at 14.:flag:

    i had the same problem on my car. It was leaking out of the camshaft cover. Looks like it's time for a new gasket. Also check your water pump bolts.:flag:

    Racing setup

    I got the stock 10 holes. My quickest run is 9.13@76 at irwindale on street tires. I heard stock rear ends can't handle slicks hence the radial question. Thanks for the input:flag:
