I have decided...

[7upstang91]

I am about 90% sure that after being towed for the 5th time in two years that I'm going to sell the notch.

That being said, I am now looking to finish off the interior of the 7-UP. As well as a new set of heads and possibly new cam. I know I want to put down about 440 to the tire now on the stock block...should be good with the right tire I assume. Now the question is what heads? 185cc or 205cc? and who should I go with. I really am leaning towards the AFRs cause I have them now(165cc). But really don't want to spend that kinda money if you know what I mean. Could someone point in the direction of a fairly decent cheap set of heads. On the note of performance, a set of longtubes and what else will I need exhaust wise? I hear longtubes will decrease boost which is fine with me to be honest cause of the stock block. But I assume a better breathing motor will last a long time.

Step 1: New heads and tune
Step 2: New top
Step 3: Cheapo alarm(cause of the top and everything)
Step 4: Haven't decided 5 lug and bigger brakes or whole new interior(you guys would throw a fit if you saw it, worst interior I've ever seen in a car)

Any input would be great. Thank you guys in advance.

Won't more boost do it for cheaper?

 

[GroverDill]

Agreed, more boost and done.

If I sold my car because I had to tow it 5 times in 2 years, it'd be long gone by now You get over the humps...

More than likely it will see more boost. But a better breathing motor means longer life, and more power. I may be going a different route after today.

just an idea......garage it, do the work you want.....buy a beater for the time being.......

 

[7upstang91]

The Notch is the beater...even though it is in better shape. Way way better shape. But the 7-up has a fresh 331 motor. Just the interior is bad and needs a new top and paint.

Need reasons why this was towed 5 times.

it was a foxbody ford. my last vert I had to tow at least every couple of months.

 

[7upstang91]

The car was a 4-cylinder car and I bought it from an idiot. So I had to have all of the electric redone.It was towed twice for this reason. Once cause My dad hooked up the wrong hose and pumped water into the motor, so that was cleaned out. Those three reason it was towed about 2 and a half years ago. Then last year the throttle positioning screw came lose and had to be towed. So the distributor went, no big deal it probably need one anyway. Other than that I havent had a problem in nearly a year.

you know what i think man.. try looking for a used sent of heads that haven't been abused to bad, you probably can find a used cam as well and save a little there.. also the long tubes aren't too bad to find. i think mac makes a pretty decent set, i may be thinking of another brand however, once you've got the motor breathing bit better, through the 9 pound pulley on get your tune and tear it up
