Check out this 9sec rat rod Ford Fairmont
Unreal
Look at the engineering and execution on this Sunbird!
The trans cable bracket is one of the 9 wonders of the world

car made enough power on 20lbs to fry the th350 that came with the car, so we bought a glide from my friend with a trans brake.
loaded the car up with the trans
th350 has a shitty tq arm mount for the rear, so we took that and welded it to the trans cross member since it does not bolt up to the glide.
so i made this beauty out of all the parts.
then we had to modify the shifter cable bracket for the th350 to shift the glide
wired up the trans brake and all is ready.

DSM is coming in at my budget cap for this year and the first half of next year, unless I can get some more client commissions on top of what I got the Fit and tentative stang/capri project are once again getting put on hold. :/
Just had to buy a new washing machine as well, the price of replacement costs was not worth it so just grabbed one from ABT.. do what you gotta do.
As TC told me last fall... I got too many sticks in the fire.

Now you see why I am moving on to the V8 crowds?
Still love my 4 bangers, but definitely looking into a small block ford or a GM LSx motor project to turbo next. Will be RWD with a dogmission.
I had a nitrous 305 SBC in a Monza sometime ago, and I'm getting the itch for a V8 again.
Diesels too, miss my 6BT.

My buddy wants to cram a SBF in his Taurus SHO, convert to RWD and turbo it... Since he has already gone through 2 head gaskets and 4 trannys and the thing is sitting in his drive way collecting rust... I am supporting his crazy scheme LOL

In reference to your link diamond. Here is a twin turbo SRT-10 Ram my friend is building at his shop. Just a couple links to it. Not a V8, but thought I would share the turbo goodness.

That'll be fun. Those look like GTX5533R turbos. Each getting ~4L of exhaust gas to spool, and only 72* between pulses.. should make some noise!
Any idea what fuel he's running? Or what cam?
The throttle body on the A2W intercooler is pretty nice touch too. I wonder what that'll do for response/distribution with what will become basically a huge intake plenum from the throttle blade to the front of the motor?
But that truck is heavy enough, with enough displacement it shouldn't matter. It's a drag build anyways.
Good stuff, thanks for sharing!
