Thought i'd start an actual build thread and throw in some better pics.
I recently bought an 88 SSP coupe, and then a little more recently picked up a '92 coupe as well.
Plans are to swap all of the goodies from the blue coupe over to the red one, set the SSP back to stock and sell it (or keep it
Blue car's mods are as follows:
new T5, stock SD 302
built rear end, c-clip eliminators, strange axles, 3.73s,
5-lug conversion
double adjustable LCAs, adjustable UCAs, battle boxes
eibach drag springs with airbag, comp eng. 3-way adjustables.
battery relocation
mac shorties, H-pipe, flowmasters
short throw shifter, new clutch, clutch quadrant
255 fuel pump, electric fan and a few other odds and ends
lakewood 90/10s
wheels are Weld Prostars 15x10s 6.5 BS in the rear with 275/60/15 BFGs
15x3.5s with 155 BFGs on the front.
car also came with front coil-overs but those are being saved for the red car
Recent pics of the 88, still kind of suck but its an iPhone 3Gs so its seen better days...
You can see a little bit of wheel well rust as well as a little rocker rust, mostly a clean car, but little things like that really bother me after my last car. and 275s really throw up the dirt on a car with a little rear bumper
Sits a little higher in the front with the 90/10s and the rear end is WAY stiff, need to get to adjusting but all thats been put on hold while the old red sled is making its way up from Georgia.
Onto the red car:
1992 4cyl coupe, clean rust free accident free car from Georgia, painted Ford Lightning red
came with the following:
Full Mallory Ignition System
battery relocation
gauge set (water, oil, a/f and tach)
3 core aluminum radiator
130amp 1-wire Alt
stock C5 transmission and custom driveshaft
Also picked up a 398w:
Balanced and block decked
393 stroker kit, .060 over
3.850" crank
stock style 5.9" rods,
and flat top .060 over pistons with reliefs
Compcams xe284H cam
canton 7qt pan
will be 11:1 with 64cc heads (need to pick up a set of heads)
single plane intake
Holley 750 Dbl pumper
Mac 1 3/4" Longtubes
Day 2: already on jack stands
Once the red car gets here, things should get rolling pretty quickly so ill try to stay up with this thread. And yes the car is dirty, wanted to snap some bigger pictures and didnt have the time to clean it before the sun went down. She'll get a good cleaning one of these days
