Finally got some work done on my new to me 86 notch, ALOT of hard work was done already to the car suspension/chassis wise before i got it....

What was done to the car before me:

Comp. eng. 10 point
Fuel cell
Mini tubbed
Full coilover's
Mosier 8.8
4.10's
Anti roll bar
Fully Adj. suspension
Strange brakes
AJE lsx k-member
Flamming river manual rack

All i have really done was drop my motor/trans combo in, still have a decent amount of stuff to do but she should be moving under her own power in about 2 weeks!

Motor setup:

Stock bottom LQ9
ARP studs
Vic Jr.
Quickfuel 950
TSP cam
Plate kit

Trans setup is:

JW TH400
FTI 3500 stall

This combo went 9.90 @ 134mph on a 150 hit in a 3800+lb regal, my car is a bit lighter so im excited to see what she can do!

Pics:

When i picked it up!



Finally got her home






Took it to the shop to get her new heart!




And this is how she sit's as of now



Car get's the fuel setup tomm. along with the MSD stuff, hoping to hear her fire up soon, i'll post back up once i get the fuel stuff all in!

Thanks for looking!

 

cant wait to see this done and see how it runs!
got a similar build going together

 

This is prob the same setup ill be running on my 85 notch, what are you going to be using for your fuel system? Keep pics coming, looking good man.

 

Wish I was that far on my new fox... The wheels and tires make me likey.

 

Thanks guys!

I didn't get anything done today, got caught up working on my fathers car!

Hopefully thursday I can get the fuel setup/MSD 6010 stuff in her!

 

I love this picture!!!

 

What is the wheel and tire setup on the back? Wonder how much work is involved in making that much tire fit.

 

The wheel's are 15x12 Alumastars, tires are 29.5 x 10.50w, i couldnt tell ya the backspacing!

Im ditching the current tire's and going to a 28 x 10.50w's, im not digging the 29.5's!

 

Why? The fill the well up man!!!

I have a new welder, I ain't scared of nothing now, used to have to get my rides to a friends for use of a real welder. Now I have mah own.

I really wish my car was cought up with yours, but at least I have one now. I wanted a 86 since it was my first and only fox before this one at age 18. But knew it would be gm powered.

 

Hell, i'd throw a 325 radial on there if i knew they would fit!

 

How you know they won't?

 

I dont really, still havent looked to see if a 325/50/15 would fit on my 12inch wide wheels....

Edit: Looks like they will fit, might have to grab a pair!

 

Wel hell yea. Imma try to make it happen.

 

i am running 315/35/17 nitto drags on mine with 03 terminator wheels.

 

I would choose to have rear brakes over the weight reduction. Just my opinion.

 

Looks good man! Buying a roller like that is defantly the way to go! Keep us posted!

 

Fills the rear wells perfect dayum

 

Who said I was leaving it with no brakes on the rear?

Strange brakes will go on the back to match the front's....

 

Picking up some 26x11.5x17 ET streets so I can keep my stupid 17s that came on it.

 

Picking up some 325/50 MT's this week, also picked up a 5inch extended hood today, looks good!

Crappy phone pic.....
