I drove it to the LMR meet saturday night and it did mostly good. the trans worked great, the fuel pressure regulator, not so much. It dropped to 2.5 psi on the way there, and when it cooled it rose to 10.5 psi. so now i have to get a good regulator and it is not looking good on me getting tires for tx2k13. looks like roll racing only for me FML. unless any of you would like to donate any 17" drag radials to my cause

So I was out at TX2K13 and I was going to run a few "out of towners" and this happened on the way out there before the race. Just in case you are wondering what that is, its the lower rear control arm I just put on a few weeks ago.

Ok I have not touched the car since TX2K13, due to money reasons. I came across these seats for a great price and could not pass them up. 5 minutes after i got them someone tried to buy them.


It looks a little better doesnt it.


I love these seats


Who wants these. come and get them.

I keep forgetting to ask but what u joint did you use to mate the chevy yoke with the ford driveshaft? is it the 1350 model?

I really dont know, I had it custom built and the driveline shop put it in. i just asked for a heavy duty solid spicer u-joint. id imagine its a conversion u-joint. it does have ford mustang drive shaft ends on it though.

Joe Lluvia Avila

hey v8sten. i am about wire up my sbc swap on my mustang. how did you re-wire the wiring going to the ford factory solenoid? what do i keep and what do i cut?

v8sten

I kept the ford starter solenoid. the only modification i did was run a little jumper wire from the big post to the "s" post on the chevy starter. I took the alternator wiring completely out and ran a 100 amp 1 wire alternator. Im running a complete MSD ignition also. mine is carburated so there isnt much wiring. the hard part of the wiring was wiring the nitrous, trans brake and timing controls.

ok so a friend of mine bought a new pair of wheels and brought them over too try them on my car. the only thing that it hits is the banjo bolts, easy fix. Its nice to know that there is a 15" wheel that will fit over the cobra rear brakes and looks great

I like the wheels, but i need your axles, LOL.

v8sten

iTrader: (5)

thems was expensive. that rear axle cost more than the car itself

I picked up these today off of CL and I got some battle box supports a few weeks ago. Im now on the search for lowers and an ARB

I'm getting ready to start a notchback build myself and from your thread you have really motivated me even more so. Love the car.

Thanks, I'm about to get started back on it again, I got some solid lowers and maybe after the next 2 paychecks I will have everything I need to get this car back on the road. I'm trying to get it ready to run in The Clash of the Titans race in San Antonio at the end of Aug.

nice i have a 88 notchback with a 355 sbc and th400 how did u hook up reverse lights i cant find them lol

v8sten

in mine there were 4 wires going to the trans through the trans tunnel on the drivers side, under the carpet. 2 were the neutral safety switch and the other 2 were the reverse lights. on my shifter there was a neutral safety switch, i still have to add the optional reverse light switch, but the wires are ran. my car was a TBI 3.8 v6 / auto car. if your car was a 5 speed it will not have a neutral safety switch it will have the clutch switch which can be used as a neutral safety switch, the reverse lights should be under the carpet where i said

Jesus Martinez

oh ok mine was a 4 cyl auto i have a rachet shifter connected to a th400 just couldnt figure out how to find them look everywhere nice build by the way
