Ok it's 2:30 in the morning and I can't sleep cause I got all this stuff running through my head.
Where working on the undercarriage of the car now and I would like to get everything the way I want it while were down here before any performance upgrades are done, which could be a long time off.
At first I wanted to have everything done before the car ever hit the road. The stroker motor, the built C4, the Currie 9 inch, you know the routine.
You know what, that's not going to happen. if I did that I would never be driving this car, it would constantly be sitting, waiting for money to do the next thing. But I don't want to waste alot of money now, just to have to redo it later.
so, finally to my question. with the c4 trans. If I get it built up now to handle the power of later, is that going to cause any problems with the stock engine.
The rear end. for now im going to have the axles redrilled to 5 lug, and i want to put a limited slip diff. in it just so I can do a burnout every now and then, WOOPEEEE!! of course i don't know if the stock engine has the power for that or not, i guess well wait and see.
Then again, this rear set up might be all I'll need in the first place. Once the stroker goes in I'm not one to abuse my cars anyway. 99.9% of the time it will be used strictly for cruising. An ocassional burnout, and once in a great while to the strip, like during an all Ford show. And even then I don't see me putting slicks on it for that.
Whatcha' think, maybe I don't need a 9 inch in the first place. Maybe not even a built C4. I don;t know.
Thank's for listening to me ramble.
OH, rear brakes. Is there any way to put on larger rear brakes on the 8" rear.
I definately know I'm at least going with the Granada front set-up. Would like to have larger rear brakes as well.
Are lowering blocks totally safe? Is there any problems with going with them.
I want to lower the rear about 1 or 2 inches. The front will be lowered with dropped spindles. I know I can go with the custom shackels. I just question the blocks, because I don't want to have to worry about them braking or loosening up.
And I want to go with 15" Magnum 500's. I think that would be a pretty good look lowered a little.
Thanks
