So what are doing this winter to make your pony faster?

[dodgestang]

Now that the primary race season is almost over, its time to start lining up plans and resources to start out next year right.

I know I have several projects lined up ranging from ceramic for the headers to hopefully fitting a high-rise intake under the hood, to FINALLY getting a bar and belts so I can actually race. Things have gone from not much happening to soo busy I can't even find time to go out and strip parts of cars....so the free time the colder weather should afford me is much anticipated.

How about all you?

well i have NO choice but to mod my car this winter, last saturday night my crank shaft broke in two pieces and the block split too! so im going with a 331 and maybe a AOD

I am trying to decide what to do with my car over the winter. I really have no time for it anymore, so I have ten different ideas running through my head. I wouldn't be surprised if my AOD ends up in Scott's car though :)

[The Don]

If the over time Gods like me, I hope to do the plenum, tb, shocks, struts. If I have enough funds, maybe a diablo predator.

[stang5093]

UPR adjustable control arms and heavy duty subframe connectors. That should keep me busy during the winter.

Unfortunately, I am doing a head gasket swap as we type, and the blower has only been on a week and a half, the PMS less than a week, and the new MT drag radials haven't even been mounted yet, so about the only "mods" for me over the Winter will be a new convertible top and more than likely a rollbar from our friends at Rhodes Custom Auto Works...

[frdfandc]

Welp, first off I'll be having a new engine built. Followed by suspension and chassis work. And even maybe a paint job to make it all look nice. But I'm not holding my breath on the paint. Might even re-do my exaust from the system I picked up from Rich Smith. But I'll decide on that after the engine is done and running.

[fast88]

Well if all goes well, I plan on saving up over the winter (too cold to work on my car outside anyhow) and start modding in the spring. I'd like to yank a GT-40 intake off of a '97-'00 5.0L Explorer/Mountaineer at the local scrap yard. I'd also like to have a set of GT-40P heads, keeping my fingers crossed on that one. That and maybe headers and a short belt will probably be the extent of my modding.......for now. I'd like to see how fast I can get my 'Bird with the MAP system before I do a MAF conversion. I must be doing something right 'cause I've dogged a few lightly modded AOD 'stangs(w/MAF) in my time.

NOTE:I look at the 'stangs as brethren...just punk kids try to get tough with me from time to time.

6pt roll cage, transmission mods, and lots of Nitrous :)

D, you coming down to Cecil on Saturday?

[modo]

nah can't make it

[my95GTHO]

rearend and trying to get my hands on a cobra intake and port it out...

[GlennSullivan]

Ask Mr Lunner where my Original Cobra intake is, maybe you can buy it off the guy that currently has it. It is an original 94-95 Cobra unit that was double extrude honed and makes lots of ponies

[rsw007]

Im broke, so ill be praying for more tail wind and cold air.

[Quick88Tbird]

After driving a 12-sec 'stang the other night, I decided I'm not going to stop at the GT-40 heads in the spring...I'm not loaded so I'm gonna pinch my pennies and hope for a used pair of Mac long tubes to come up. I decided to say adios to the speed density, just gotta get the conversion harness, MAF, and A9L processor....I'm also considering a B or E cam also. Hopefully I get the time and supplies to fab up some custom solid motor mounts so I can get rid of those huge rubber pancakes Ford called "motor mounts"(for those who don't know...it's a T-bird). I'm pretty confident that, as my car sits now, it will run high-14's...not too bad, but I'm dying for 13's. We'll see what happens.

[my95GTHO]

Thanks Glenn....if this bid falls through on e-bay that i have right now i'll talk to big Bob
