82 fox. Originally an 4cyl auto car. Putting a 351w bored and stroked yo a 408. 11.92-1 compression. Havent dynod yet. Thinking between 600-700 hp at the crank. Dont have a clutch yet. TKO 600 with a quick time bellhousing. Glenns performance 1000hp sumped fuel tank system to 780 Holley double pumper carb. Built 8.8 rear end with 3:73 gears and a ford racing tracklok diff. 31 spline mosier 5 lug axles. Disk brakes all around. Eibach drag launch rear springs. Strange 10 way adjustable rear struts. Strange 10way front covers on the front. AJE k member and A arms. Sub frame connectors and 8pt roll cage. Still need quite a bit of stuff. Just hoping to get some Input on parts I need and how to assemble it together to get it down the road safely.

I think they're a little easier to get off

Oh I like the project so far, so I assume street car then? Any plans for this thing to hit a track?

What parts are you needing suggestions on? Sounds like you have about everything?

It's going to be street legal. I plan on weekend cruising and driving to and from the track. If it's to hard to drive on the street then I'll just add a turbo and make it strictly a track car.

Well for starters. I still need a clutch, and a starter. Amongst alot of odds and ends. I have to figure out how to fab up a bracket to make my stock seat bracket work with my kirkey aluminum seat. I still have to put the whole fuel system together. I got the 1000hp sumped tank to carb setup from Glenn's performance. I'm debating on power or manual brakes. I'm debating on power steering or not. And I eventually plan on getting all the wriring I wont be using and putting in an aluminum dash.

With 12:1 comp you wont be running any boost. Maybe with 114 and wmeth or e85...

It's not that it cant be done the tuning window for detonation is very narrow as comp increases.
I see issues with 12:1 on pump gas in hot weather if the timing isn't conservative enough.

You will like it more as a streetcar with power brakes/steering.. of course you may need a vacuum canister if the engine doesn't pull good vacuum.

Well I was thinking of running AV gas with a water/meth system installed. And if I was to boost it, i would of course put some dishes pistons in. And I've heard good things about e85 as well. Gotta do some more research before I make any final decisions.

Stock brackets won't work.
Racecraft has nice brackets for Kirky seats.
If you can handle a kirky /harness on the street,m/s,m/b no a/c is a cake walk.
Truth be told,my a.r.b. would make any seat feel harsh.
