looks like youve got yourself quite a project there. those are big tires for such a small car.

right now i'm building up a 1982 camaro, i'm hoping for a little more than 300 at the crank. me and my dad are putting everything together. should be a fun first car.

kdf baja · 12-10-2005, 02:33 PM

sounds cool, how old are you? ill be 16 on the 27th

illwerral · 12-10-2005, 02:34 PM

My dad's getting a Ford truck from the 60s and we're gonna restore it. Putting either a 302 or 350 in it, maybe bore it out or put high compression heads on. New 5 speed automatic transmission. It won't be stock but it'll have some balls I think. It'll be a sweet project.

i want 33s and a 3" lift on my isuzu pickup 4x4. not till spring tho, right now im busy blowin money on my sled

G-ForceJunkie · 12-10-2005, 03:00 PM

Looks likes you've got a lot of work done, it should be sweet when it is done, that yellow was sweet

I have a 88 Mustang 5.0 setup for open track time trials racing. It has mostly suspension mods, engine is pretty much stock. My Dad has a 00 Lightning putting down 390rwhp/525rwtq. I have a cousin with a Ford Ranger with a 5.0, and his brother (my cousin) has a 96 mustang with a V6...planning on a 99+ V6 swap into that though.

skidoorider · 12-10-2005, 03:29 PM

hey 94zr580 thats exactly what i want to do with my 05 ford ranger. do you want to do a body lift or a suspention lift?

kdf baja · 12-10-2005, 03:35 PM

suspension lifts are the way to go, mines all stock for now, but im gonna get 3 inch longer 3 inch wider (6 overall width) rear trailing arms, and 8 inch wider front beam with 3 inch lift spindles.

BRPforlife · 12-10-2005, 04:10 PM

I've got a 67' mustang gt, sitting in my garage. Not really doing anything with it because i have no money, but maybe some day!

94zr580 · 12-10-2005, 04:48 PM

i know suspension lifts are better, but there also more expensive. if i've got the money i'll do a suspension lift other wise just a body. i have to do one of the two in order to fit 33s in the wheel wells.

Formula_Canuk · 12-10-2005, 05:12 PM

I've got an 85' camaro I'm working on. Its a 355 with trick flow ported and polished aluminum 64cc heads, 1.5 ratio 7/16 crane roller rockers, ported and gasket matched edelbrock victor jr intake, nice cam, and a nos superpowershot plate system.

body lifts, are a pain in the ass...not worth it, everything attached to ur frame...like the motor will be lower than the body...and whats attached to the body, your radiator, so you better have electric fans otherwise the fan from the motor wont do squat...and suspension lifts are not difficult...i replaced a leaf spring in my jeep in 30 mins(soak the bolts with pb blaster/wd40 a few days before you tear it apart)and also have fun dealing with rusted body bolts that the head of the bolts might snap...so much better to get a suspension lift, just save your money..it will be worth it

03700xckid16 · 12-10-2005, 09:14 PM

oh yeah, your isuzu isnt going to move with the 33's, not enough power, you will have to get lower gears for it as well...
