Hi guys!
So the time has come for me to finally introduce myself and my project to this forum (yeah, you've guessed it, it's because i need help).
I've bought my Foxbody a year and a half ago, It's been waiting in a barn for 5 years. Now it's laying rubber on the beautiful roads of southern Moravia and delivering both smiles and troubles and creating a black hole in my wallet, well, probably just like yours is.
As for mods, first thing after complete maintenance I've done was a exhaust system with long tube headers and custom X-pipe (kept the stock mufflers). Now I have the engine all over the place since I'm doing a carb conversion with Weiand Stealth intake and Pertronix ignition...the EFI just never run right and I'd like to teach myself a bit on the art of carb tuning. Also I've resurfaced, lapped the valves in and I'm gonna try to do some basic porting on the E7 heads. Yeah I'm on a student's budget so no aluminium heads for me now. Also I'm keeping the stock cam, sice i like it's torquey character.
It made 222hp/380nm on the dyno, i'd like to get somewhere in the 270hp range after the carb swap...i'm gonna post the numbers then.
So thats it for now.
