No it pretty much runs the same just goes a whole lot better when you ask it to..The cam I chose just has more lift no more duration...I think half throttle now is close to full throttle before.Does you car run smoother with those new heads Rick. How the idle
What heads did you go with on your ‘86? I know there are very few choices with those stock pistons.I still have an '86 GT I bought new, but it was a daily driver and didn't get the best of care. In the last couple of years I've added rear discs, an '87-up front suspension, new bushings, springs, shocks, struts and added aluminum heads, E-cam, Edelbrock intake, headers, etc. It still looks pretty original, and runs good, but not as smooth as it was stock. I still have most of the stock stuff and can return it to mostly stock/original if needed. I see so many original Fox-body cars that have been cut up/torn up/messed up/"customized", etc. that if I wanted to make any substantial modifications I'd look for one someone has already messed up.
Question: what's the problem with Por15?Those floors look fantastic I would for sure not POR15 them. I wouldn't do anything to them at all. You could always touch up the few surface rust spots but you have no reason to need to redo it or ruin it with POR15.
That being said it's your car so do as you please of course. As for modding I say do the things you want to do. You can always reverse it later if you want it stock again. The POR15 however not so much.
@Rdub6, I have TF TW 170 heads on it.What heads did you go with on your ‘86? I know there are very few choices with those stock pistons.
I've never used it, a lot of shows that I watched in the past used it on old car/truck frames, of course you never see what those frames are like 10-15 years down the road, good to know.
Maybe Rustoleum Rusty Metal Primer is still the answer. Paint sticks to it and it sticks to metal.it was strange. I painted my underside in 2009. Literally last year it started to peel underneath. Up til then, you couldn’t scratch it.
my metal is pristine under it, so I just have been peeling it off as I work under the car.
I reality a camry will out run even a mildly modified fox but
#1 the camry won't be as much fun to drive
#2 nobody will brag about 'the camry' in the driveway
#3 you can find a couple dozen camrys in any parking lot in any town
#4 nobody is likely to be driving that camry that is 30 years old and proud of it.
