Next Project

[Martin0660]

Since some of you guys frequent TurboFord, I might as well roll this out here too ;) I've kind of gone as far as I want to go with the Capri, so this is the next project ...

I figure it better end up fast, it sure doesent have looks on it's side :D

Planning a blow through carb set up on methanol ;)

street car or all out drag car?

street car or all out drag car?

The thought is to be more drag oriented, but still be able to drive it to/from the track, and whatever. I've wanted to do a back half car for a while.

Nice project.. thatd make a sweet DD! i found a bitchn buick electra! lol

[biminiLX]

At least go with an 8 cylinder this time Bob.......2.3T up front and in the wagon hatch :)
Should be a cool project, keep us updated.

It seems you didn't notice what section this is in :D

Likely to be a 2.3, blow through carb set-up. I have wanted to do a 4.6 carbed DOHC combo but this just isnt the right car for that. This wont be a quick project unless i hit the lottery.

[INSANELY CRAZY]

damn bob, just keep that rear bumper on it and im sure the front wheels will come off the ground.lol......

[Martin0660]

Looks heavy, but they are aluminum. Car is under 2600 #'s as it sits.

[fast4ord]

Cool pinto a 4.6 would be cool, but not enough room im sure.

[Viper_ed]

Looks perfect for a Mid-engine Cummins Turbo Diesel.

[lib88stang]

Go with the 2.3 carb setup, not a fan of 4.6's, a 5.4 carb be alright though.

Anyhow, cool project Bob:thumbsup:

I noticed, just suggesting two 2.3Ts :sticktonge:
I like the drag wagon idea, keepin' the stick?

Ok that will make for a different and cool ride. Thing looks to be in suprisingly good shape.

Funny, that's where the turbo will likely come from :D Thinking HX40

As Don said, it would be a nightmare fit either way. I'm pretty well invested in the 2.3 stuff to stop now ;)

I get it now :thmbsup: Actually this all started because this car has a C4 with the bellhousing needed to mate up to a 2.3 (hard to find).

It's a New Mexico car. What you can see is just surface stuff from sitting out for several years. Car is rock solid underneath.

Dear Lord that's hideous....

[yeahloh95]

[AdamantiumSilvr]

[Martin0660]

This will be old school for sure :D Did i mention that the car comes with the panels to make it a "Cruising Wagon" :D


Kinda looks like Bob in KILL!

:highfive: That's what we are looking for :D

Don't turn you back or it might end up on your notch ;)

[CobraII]

Wagons FTW!! That's way cool Bob!

And man, that Matador wagon is sweet! I'm glad I can't afford it, or I'd be bumming parts off of my AMC friends to make it street/strip. :D

Geez is that thing ugly Bob. I'm gonna have to pit somewhere else if that thing shows up.

[onenastytbird]

Theres a guy I used to know up in Erie with a Pinto wagon and 2.3 turbo setup backed by a 5spd...said it was his favorite ride he had out of 17 tbirds (most running) and countless mustangs......yes these were all at once....he had like 50+ cars in storage or somehting like that. Cant recall his name or I'd hook ya up with him but I do know he cruised Presque Isle all the time.
