Post by: chri85tc on September 07, 2007, 06:14:58 PM
I have been working on the TC for almost 2 years(most of you are used to that)and I got the motor along with Stingers FMIC kit put in. and WOW is the Stinger setup NICE, it went right in beautifully !!! Looks pretty sweet too !! Well executed kit, Thanks Shannon !!

I sure hope this car runs as good as I think it looks. I mean I did alot to it.

Motors rebuilt bored .03 over
Ported and polished head and E6 manifold
Overhauled T3
Underdrive crank pulley
Esslinger timing pulleys (adjustable and idler shaft)
Full 3" exhaust, gutted cat
Gillis Valve
PE computer/MSD
Big VAM
Flowed and tested Brown tops
Relocated Battery to trunk
Remote TFI
Complete Energy suspension components
Chuck W mounts
SFC's
All sound deadening material removed
3g Alt upgrade

I am sure there is some I forgot but I dont think I left anything alone. I still have a little to go but it should be done soon.

Mmm yes, might not run without spark plug wires.  But it does look amazing.  (Schwing)

Why keep the stock airbox???
Title: Update on My Build !
Post by: chri85tc on September 08, 2007, 05:55:02 PM
I kept the stock airbox because I have no room for the cone K&N I bought and I dont want to suck hot air in if I just mount it in the engine bay.

So I opened up the the stock airbox (ie cut out the screen) and ran a duct from the fender out to the bottom of the front valance for a cold air intake. I also put a drop in K&N in the airbox. Should work just as well as the cone.

But you know what, the Wiring sucks in this car ! The guy who owned this before me, bought it as the second owner in like 88 or something and he said his brother was a Ford Tech and did all the work since he's owned it.

Man he must really suck because I found so much screwed up  in this car it is freaking making me nuts!!!!!

all the wiring is rigged and spliced with those butt connectors. I have been getting rid of that  and soldering everything. Thats why I am taking so  long to get this thing running.

Geez...Ok Rant over ....thank you

Are you going to keep it stock appearing on the exterior.

Post by: chri85tc on September 09, 2007, 10:26:36 AM
I think that I may, but I havent really decided on that yet. Right now my main focus is to get it back on the road.

Keeping that car stock appearing would really make it easy to terrorize unsuspecting tuner and Stang owners.That's my plan.

Yeah I kind of like that Idea of terrorizing in an unsuspecting Looking 80's T-Bird :)
