would that be #14 tom? nice..... are you gonna fix this one up or part it out?
very interesting, an mn12 shifter, cougar turbines, buttstuffog gauge cluster, im assuming its at least HO, because its MAF
the more i look at the pic, the more i wonder if its really an mn12 shifter?
btw, does it run?
Looks like it SHOULD be an HO. Mass air and 19#'s on the intake maifold. Tom is that a 65mm TB? I see the coolant passages are plugged on it as well
also see an MSD poking out
If I didnt know any better I would say thats a Mark 7 shifter.
looks too me like it had a mark 7 donor...shifter and indicators (the ones on the floor not the column lol). what a mess...who cut and gutted the intake?....are you parting it? i needs parts :(
I was running when I took the pix, guess the shutter speed on the camera stopped the motion of the pulleys and fan. I had just driven it home from Portsmouth, bout 11-12 miles.....
Bingo.....
Yea it looks like a rollin' junk pile, but it drives and runs good(but not as good as it should for whats on the car). I have a set of Turbo Coupe seats for it.
I haven't taken a inventory of whats actually on the car, but it had about $7000 in receipts from Summit and some local shops in the glove box. I know it has Windsor Jr heads, Ford Racing rockers, BBK headers and exaust system etc... Engine rebuilt in '01(.040 over 308 cu in)with less than 5000 miles. Also it has a fresh AOD(gets rubber in 2nd) and a Turbo Coupe rear end and front brake conversion. Needless to say... I got a hell of a deal on it... :evilgrin: :ies:
After I get it tuned and spruced up a bit, I'll find out what it will do at the drag strip next month. :grinno:
Cougar wheels and a bird on the streering wheel. Gotta love it.
What up with the black and red seat?
Gezz,, that's the kind of find that makes you feel like you really found something. :grinno:
What did it cost you?
More than I told my wife ...(but not much)
Since nobodys gonna ask what the car actually is... (yea it needs a paint job)...

Hey TurboCoupe50, do you know what springs are on your new bird? How does it ride? Thanks.
Bryan
Rides like a fornicatekin' buckboard, they'll be commin' out for some stockers... They are a Ford Racing set of some sort, I'm gonna ask Chuck W if he knows what they are when I get some numbers off them..
As low as the back is sitting, I'm gonna say someone put C-kits in it....
Well what condition are the springs in? If you end up taking them off, keep me in mind. I'd be interested in buying them off you just to use the fronts. It looks like they would give me a little more drop than my current suspension techniques springs. What do you guys think? Have a looksy... Thanks.
Bryan
With as low as that thing sits, I wouldn't be surprised if somebody cut the springs.
Nice find.
