Looks much better.

gaslight · Apr 20, 2008

Much cleaner and nicer looking than the original cheese graters. I have really liked this style for a long time. Its hard to notice in the video but those are LEDs in the blinkers and brake lights. Its a panel insert not those little bulbs with a bunch of LEDs stuck in them.

so anything else you are doing besides rolling the fenders?

gaslight · Apr 22, 2008

Well you saw the pics of the stuff I have done so that is it so far. Still trying to find a good deal on the fender roller. After I roll the fenders I will seriously look at new wide 17" rims for the rear so I can mount some 315 sized tires. That would have to include 5 lug axles. Then it would continue to snowball to include rear discs(maybe later). Ugh....
I also have a stalker front bumper cover I bought last year. Its not exactly pretty because it is just the yellow plastic with some stains on it. Still thinking about mounting it as is until I can afford to have it and the hood painted. Actually I have wanted to get the whole car painted for years but I know that would cost a lot for a quality paint job in a different color.
I have a big list of things in my head that I would love to do provided I have the money and time. But don't we all!

Thats for sure, I bought this car thinking wow its got H/C/I subframes exc exc exc all in a 351W so I wont have to do anything with it. I say that as I have $1,000 in parts sitting here needing to be installed. But you know we only do this rodeo once, might as well have as much fun as you can.

Just picked these up on Ebay for $239 shipped ( #36LBS)

Sometimes the best parts come in small packages.

I'd think about getting new O rings for those injectors. Don't want a repeat of the gas leak you have now.

cold96snake · Apr 25, 2008

Nothing new here. Took it to orono last wknd, 93 is A LOT harder to find, dysarts didn't even have it. When are we gonna go to NED?

I noticed that to larry it is quite hard to find now. Only 2 places in windham that carry it now between windham and raymond.

Ive been to the track once, only did one run and it was nothing special. Im thinking of going next friday weather permitting.

Bryan- The gas leak is fixed as of now, but I probably will put new O rings on them just b/c its so cheap and its good insurance.

FYI- The new Corvette ZR1 Dynoed in at 638 RWHP and 604 FTLBS

And the Nissan GT-R ?

Too pricey for my blood.

gaslight · Apr 26, 2008

its all too pricey for me but I can dream. With the crappy economy I wonder what the prices on those cars will be and if they will be short lived production runs. This crappy economy and high gas prices could spell disaster for some of these new cars. It could lead to much shorter than predicted production runs and the end of the current horsepower war. Just like the early 70's.

V6 Cobra Mustang? 4 Cyl GT ?

anything is possible. I think the first foxes were turbo 4s. More importantly would be scaling back the horsepower and cubic inches to try and regain some MPG.

The engines are not that big now as it is

look at GM and Chrysler plus the recent talk at Ford of the Hurricane motor. Last year a 'secret' mod motor was being used in racing by I think Bowles. It was mentioned in a couple of mags but Ford and the racer would not talk about how big the new development motor was. Guesses were in the 6.0L or larger range. If successful that would trickle down to a street motor to compete with GM and Chrysler. Lets face it the Mod motor is lacking in displacement and low end torque because of it. This new motor would be the natural replacement for the current mod motor.

Venom351R · Apr 26, 2008

I dont plan on buying a new mustang so whether they change the mustang due to gas prices like in the 70's I'll be more then happy to keep my 351

gaslight · Apr 26, 2008

I understand that. Just saying this economy and fuel problems could put a major Kibosh on the quest of the OEMs for more HP and larger cubes which just narrows our future choices.
Still haven't started the stang. I did pick up another relay so I could wire up the Hi speed side of the electric fan and just toggle back and forth when I want to. Lot cheaper than getting a dedicated fan controller. Save me some money in the short run. I need to get a couple of things done to it tomorrow then maybe I'll fire it up just for the fun of it. Still don't have the insurance on it so I won't be driving around.
