Well I dont know if oyu guys remember us building Ralph's black 86 GT, we did a full build on it, rebuilt motor, 6-speed tranny, new ac system, full suspension, big brakes, dynamat the entire car where the sun dont shine, wheels, tires, rear end... Well he picked up another car, one that has been around for years and was raced at many ford events and in magazines. It is an 86 GT as well. We started off by cutting out the old mild steel cage and adding a 8.50 cert chromolly cage along with a full mini tub, behind the rear mounted afco coil overs, fully built 8.8, spool 33 spline axles, smoothed under the hood with Scott Rod panels (awesome fit!) painted under the hood, built a 430ci all aluminum windsor based engine, had a custom built liberty LCS 5-speed tranny, willwood brakes all around and are currently working on the build. Its getting a Procharger to top off the engine. A full interior,Fast XFI and al the goodies to make it street worthy.

Any estimate on when this piece will be on the road?

I can't even guess at this point, cars seem to have a bunch of parts.
But it's looking better, Cindy told me it's starting to look like a real car.

That is one of the nicest fox bodies I've seen!

What clutch are you going to run with that transmission Ralph?

**86GT** · 03-09-2015, 08:08 AM

Timmy talked to a lot of people about this & we went with a custom
built McLeod ceramic twin disc.

Looking good! I see a big cog pulley on that crank. I am guessing something nasty will be going on this thing.

I believe an F2X is the plan.

Ralph, did you pick up a Ferrari?

Cool to see this car getting some love, I remember seeing this car out and about on the road and at the track a few times forever ago... Cool car, cool build!
