I know it has been a long time since I last was on this forum. I have a 1984 Cougar XR7 turbo that I have been working on restoring. I have a freshend transmission for it and some time ago I picked up a 2.3 liter Turbo 4 cylinder of it.
I have poked around on it for years and finally I have decided I want to go a different direction with it. My thought is to strip it down and make a drag car out of it. :burnout::burnout::burnout:
My thoughts would be to install a BBC with a powerglide transmission. My question is this.....and maybe this is not a realistic project idea, but where can I get information to help guide or decide on doing this conversion. Specifically on things such as chassis and powertrain installation tips.
If you think I am crazy, just don't be too harsh on me lol
I have looked at the parts store and either I have a very unique Cougar or they show the wrong parts. I am looking for the motor mounts as I said above. What is currently in the car is on the right and left side. It appears to be an inverted U shaped part that the bolts go thru them member horizontal. This part has above it a block of rubber (looks permentally attached) and another metal plate that bolts onto the motor. Does anyone have any ideas on this? I really would like to get back on the project and get the motor in. If anyone has a source or a clue what I am talking about please let me know
