94 with stuff in sig.
Totalled 2 years ago. I've been working on it between work, finishing up college, getting married building a house, etc. I'm having a hard time lining up the body, and getting the motor to run right. I may take the turbo off and go NA for awhile to see if that eliviates the problem. It idles fine when cold, but when the temp goes up, it run's like crappola. I can keep my foot in it and as long as i'm either moving, or above 1000 rpm, it stays running. Hasn't really ever SEEN the boost because it keeps blowing my old BBK connectors lose from the TB. Lots of smoke from the exhaust. It's white, but it's not burning water, or oil. Timing is good. Need to hook up a wideband yet to check the ratio.
Anyways, it's getting to be a real headache, but it's my baby, and i'd hate to see it go. The motor is solid, just redid the rings etc. and it was in great condition. Body is mostly rebuilt and i bought new fender and bumper, still need a hood. It doesn't line up now that I put the hood on, but everythe else still does, so it'll be some cutting and welding to line that up better again. I have vaccuum hoses split a million times with a checkvalve where necessary, but i'm sure there's a leak somewhere. I have a TKO sitting in the corner of the garage, and a spare rear end in the other garage for mocking up rear suspension pieces.
So what do I do with my mess? Swap it to a V6 stang? With my spliced up wiring, that's prolly a bad idea. Sell the extra's and start with a fresh 5.0? Doubt i'll find one unmolested around here. Help me out guys... I need a fresh idea, or some encouragement. I would love to transplant it into a FFR Cobra, but the money's not there with all the stuff I listed above.
Finally Frustrated,
Lee
