Default Another fox with 6.0

Well I have been gathering parts over the past year for the orange car and it finally time to get the tools out and start working on
It.......
Here is side shot of car it's goin in


So far I have aje k member installed


Got some 28x12.5x15 et streets out back..... Fit kinda nicely if you ask me


Tonight i got the shifter installed in factory location which also came out pretty nice also


Here is motor I'll be running, nothing special just a stock bottom end 6.0 lq4, was told motor had around 200k on it

As everyone can see I'm not lying about it bein a stock bottom end so I'll be limited to how much I can spray

But in case you wanna get lippy I'm sure we can arrange something around feb/mar if you like lol
jk I'm slow

And here's a few other things I've gathered as well
Mishumoto aluminum radiator and dual fan setup th350 built by Lovelady
Kooks 1 7/8 351w headers that I'll have ls flanges welded on
One chamber flows hopefully it's quieter than the bullets I usually run

If you are refering to times when I owned the car then he is going to need more than a stock 6.0

If you are talking about my Blue Coupe then it will not take much. All I have is a stock LS1 with a cam and intake.

Hell when Chad owned the car it rolled hard for the 331 with the 88mm turbo. When I owned it, it ran 5.90s-6.0s in the 1/8 with a stock block 427, and a 200 shot on the plate. The car always left straight, and was a blast to drive.

Did you buy it from that skinny younger white kid(can't remember his name, as I was thinking about buying that car when it had the 427 ford motor in it)?
I think his brother had a shop down there and had a lightning.
He was asking something like $10k-$12k for it at that time.
