Engine Swapping / 302, 331, 347, or 351... that is the question
Thanks for being of absolutly no help. The post count was a nice bonus though, seeing as MOST of those are in one thread. Atlest my posts were semi-productinve in one way as opposed to sheer wasted space and constant put downs.... it really makes a big difference in helping to decide which of the 302 based engines I want.

To everyone who is actually TRYING to help me out here, I think I got it down to 331 or 347. Anyone who has experience with them, what is the big difference minus the 16 cube difference? More power, rev's faster... Is there any real bonus to those extra cubes? What would me a major difference between the two? The car will be mostly a cruiser with some strip time.

There is no " my way" as you put it. You guys ( all of you) are setting the ground rules which I intend to follow to the letter. I'm not trying to get out of anything. I'm not trying to talk down past mistakes or to " lessen" any of my faults. I am being as stright up as I can be right now. I'm not sure what is being asked of me as of this seconed, but what will happen is this, as stated time and again in this thread.

I WILL FIX MY PAST MISTAKES. If not today then as soon as I can get in contact with those that I have wronged. I haven't held back a detail yet. I might have forgot to mention everything down to the color of the socks I'm wearing today or how I rolled the camaro, but if you want to know anything about anything, please, feel free to ask. Please, let the past lie. I have joined again ( or so I hope it stays) in an attempt to " overcome" the past and start a new future. I know not everyone will make that an easy road, and I don't expect nor deserve it. But intentionaly making it harder isn't doing to much either. In the past, I will even admit that around 25% of anything said was BS on some level. And again... it's the past

how did you roll the car? and when? you had it 4 months ago.

Ive been well over 100 mph and probably done stupider things then you in a car, but I never rolled one. I've actually never been in a wreck. It seems really convenient that the car is now gone.

I rolled the car on my last leave period, say 10nov. I took a turn to fast ( 90+) on a cold, slick road, Nose into a dirt embankment, side over side to land on her feet. Was trying to be a badass and see what it could do. Thats when I knew that I needed to grow up. I killed that car, and walked away with my life, and only a lump on the head. Most people don't get that lucky. Like I said, I'm trying to change my life, and that was one factor in it.

For what it's worth, here is what it *did* look like pre-roll






And some nice post roll carnage for you. Notice the " T tops" and how they crushed in. As well as notice the Dakota in the background. This is at my freinds house, on his flatbed trailer.

You mean the camaro. The car I drove to the first day of CJ this past year, when I made about an hour long cameo aperaence. I also have a vid on my myspace of the car, as well as some pictures and an exhaust vid of when I put the SLP exhaust on the car.

I can't explane what the cars were doing that. I The camaro was a  dog till 2ed gear when it took off. As for the Fila... just a clusterfornicate the whole day. Waterpump started to leak, had no power on the top end, wasn't shifting right, nothing. I'm not changing any storys or anything. As of now, I have nothing to hide and no reason to try to hide anything.

I did post that everything was taken care of, to my knowlage ( or ignorance I should say), was that no one contacted me, all was well in fila land. I'm turning over a new leaf. I re-read the thread of all the complaints against me, and have contacted all the members that posted there. I am in the prosess of making a thread for anyone else to contact me that feels I have wronged them so it can be fixed. I will ask that the mods sticky it.

This is going to take time, as much as I want it fixed now and should ahve been fixed already,  it hasn't. I did this to my self. Now I'm trying to repair what I can

Engine Swapping / 302, 331, 347, or 351... that is the question
I stated what parts I have for the new motor, not whats in it, but good catch. I was really considering the 351 untill I figured out I would need another intake, another dizzy, swap headers and oil pan ( I think). The only way I will do that plan is to put the 302 into the stang and the 351 into the bird. I belive I have a few pics floating around from my last leave period when I was just mocking parts into place if ya need

Body/Appearance/Interior / Swapping doors and retaining EVERYTHING
How hard is it to swap a set of doors and retain my power locks/windows/keyless? I guess what I'm asking is if I find a set without some features, is there still provisions ( mounts/connectors,ect) to do so? As everyone knows my driver door is shaged up and rust in the passanger. And would it be eaiser to try to pull out the dent and swap the glass out. We ( freinds and my self) kinda broke the passanger window out my last leave doing something stupid, so that is another main reason to swap out in one package.

i think the point was that on one forum you posted that it was your gf's car and on another you posted that it was yours. not a big deal but it certainly shows that being misleading is a "quality" you still have. i dont know anyone thats so confused that they dont know weather or not they know whos car they are driving.
 
on another note, no way did you beat or even hang with a mach 1. my 4 valve car took me down the 1/4 @ 13.6 trapping just under 107 mph and i suck at the track. 2.10 ish 60'
 
and no, i dont have the slips.

I don't want to get into this, just don't want to. But, it was a blue mutang, had the black stripe and the correct hood. Had some Bullitt style wheels on it, and some form of exhaust. We went from a roll and stayed said by side. Reguardless, I ended up getting rid of the car after I wreaked it. Another thing that will really make you respect is rolling a car. Since then, I have got the truck and really re-thought ALOT of my decisions in life. Like others have said, saying I've changed and showing is two different things.
 
Basicaly, I'll say it like this. I'm DONE with the " I know more about xxx then you do", I'm DONE with the bigger dick theory "my fila has this" or  "I'm the fila guy, I know everything.....", all of that needless bs, no more bragging up anyting. I just want to be another guy, with another bird, looking for some help and giving help when I can.

Don't bother responding.  I won't (and shouldn't) believe what would be posted anyway.


Ok, I'm curious to what you are getting at. When my GF picked me up in chicago, she had the car and said it was hers. She bought it from a guy in Salem, OH. When I actually got home ( Columbiana, OH), The car was presented to me. I did take the cars to the track, if thats what your asking. The slips are at the house, about 5000 miles from me. I would show you them, but I'm kinda not at home. As far as the other forums, I said that I've made mistakes. And as stated in the START of this thread, I am doing everyting I can to email/track down people and try to correct my wrong doings. I'm not trying to come across as agressive, but please, give me alittle time to let this happen. I can't track down people I haven't heard from in about a year in one day. And I can't put a time limit on how long I will need. All I can give you is my word.

I did learn alot about life since I have been in the navy. I'll share some here. I learned the 3 things in my life that mean something. The navy core values:

HONOR
COURAGE
COMMITMENT

I had the honor to admit I screwd the pooch royaly
I have the Courage to try to come back and to fix my past and try for a future
And, You will see the Commitment to getting this done.

I'm not asking to be forgiven, to forget, or anything like that. I'm not looking for a pat on the back or a good job for coming back either. I want to fix what I have done, learn about these fox's, and to one day actually get my car to CJ

Drivetrain Tech / 7.5 to 8.8
Quote from: Bruce M;249978
My cougar is a V8 car and it came with a 7.5".


I ment the stang rear, the 8.8 was the mustangs V8 rear end. I think that 87-88 T/C's and 87-88 XR-7's got the 8.8's for out cars. The T/C's had disk brakes and teh XR-7's got 10" drums

I could have chosen better pics then those. They were taken after an 18 day underway. It doesn't sound like much, but I'm on a tiny ass ship with 84 guys, and most of our shiznit was broke. We went out for a good time. Nothing more. Again, bad reference on my part

Drivetrain Tech / 7.5 to 8.8
I belive the stang rear is alittle "shorter" by about an inch or so  compaired to the stangsrear.  Also, IIRC, if it didn't come from a V8 car it's a 7.5" as well.
