first the bad, this weekend i was changing the transmission fluid/filter on dad's '85 cougar, and i noticed his stut towers were rotted YIKES...the good news is the '86 has real good stut towers. So i mentioned it to dad, and he said "well looks like it's time for a v8 swap!" so this winter i'll be still busy with engine swaps...and welding a new nose for the car.
Mixed blessings.......I've had my share of those.I'm driving it now.Turned out better than I had hoped,and I wouldn't trade it.Why wait til winter for the swap,get started today.
lol the drivetrain going into his cougar is in the stock car, and he wants to save up to get hoses, exhaust ect. in the winter i'm not as busy as i am now, go to work @ 8am, then go to my garage @ 5pm, then leave there around 10pm makes for long days.
