Nice work so far.Is that an H.O engine?Give up some specs on the car and engine.
Looking good. I'd say that motor is just missing two things (http://www.turbobygarrett.com/turbobygarrett/images/catalog/Turbochargers/gt35_images/GT3582R-714568_1.gif).:D
Whatever it is it has GT-40P heads.
I really think a 80-82 Bird or Cougar will be my next addition. I want something carbureted for a change.
yeah it is a 88 HO. Tore it down to the block and the bottomend was just like new..Was told the motor was pulled with only 50,000 on it. So i went ahead and reabuilt it usin stock bottom. It has Gt40p's, bbk shorty headers, edlebrock 4 barrel intake, a holley 650...So i cant wait to see how it runs. Just got a few things to do then its goin in. Ive been told ill wanna swap out tha aod for a 4 speed but ill see what happens...BTW anyone on here have a 80-82 bird/cougar on here...
hey chuck do ya have a link to more pics/specs on the car? from what i see looks like one clean 80 to me.

I have a couple 80 Birds.
Oh it's FAR from clean cosmetically. Looks good in the little picture.
The thread on it can be found HERE (http://www.foxtbirdcougarforums.com/showthread.php?t=9721&page=32)
hey dan got sum pics/link to ure birds/cougars? And chuck it looks pretty good shape for the year
GT40Ps are nice heads. I have a set and they make a nice ammount of power :burnout:
I have some pics of them on cardomain. I dont own any Cougars but I have plenty of Birds. I think if you just search dansbirds on there it will find me. If you are looking for something specific on the 80 I can take some pics.
Hey guys i havn;t been on here in quiet a while. Still have the 81 bird. Got the motor in last summer and after two months it was bad. Oil pan started leaking, timing cover as well. Also blew a headgasket. So I parked the car and am now gettin around to a overhaul again. Ive got a couple pics from the fall.

Nice 81, just saw a car JUST LIKE IT at the swap meet in Cedar Rapids. Where abouts in Iowa are you from?
northeast, Cresco to be exact
Sounds like you aren't too far from me. Pretty cool since you don't see these fox box's much.
Are you in CR?
Heres a mapquest to show you where i am at. Looks to be about an hours drive. We really aren't that far apart. http://www.mapquest.com/maps?1c=Tripoli&1s=IA&2c=Cresco&2s=IA
