Hi Gearworks

I"m kind of curious about the modifications you've done to your T-bird, would you mind sharing some of the engine and chassis details with the forum?

I dont have THAT kind of room! heheheh
let's just say it's COMPLETELY nonstock. Body is original, however thats where it stops. From front to back, It has a Stroker 514, weind tunnel ram, twin 600 holleys, 500hp fogger nitrous, csi electric W/p, Interceptor finned case C6 with kevlar E4OD internals, art carr manual valve body, "r" servo, 3000 Tci stall, and deep TCI pan. My own 9" Rear with 28 spline Locker, 3.70 gears and moser axles with 3" comp studs.

Completely redone interior, 6 point cage, and power windows! best of all its a TTOP car.

I have been through these cars dozens of times, if youve got a question please ask, i may be able to help!

is there a place to put pics on here? If youre a 77-79 fan you might like mine...

Sounds awsome Gearworks! If you have some photos of it you can send them to [email protected].
I'd like to see the car. Mine can be seen at Motorcities.com, I own the silver '78 with the black top. I haven't updated the page but it now has a 466 and some Weld draglite wheels with BFG drag radials. Thanks for sharing some of your information,
any perfomance numbers on that monster?!?

Hi Gearworks,

Thanks, I'm looking forward to checking them out! :D I sent some updated pics of my car to motorcities.com but for some reason they only addded the engine pic, I'll have to check into that. I could stand to have my car repainted, I planned on it until the engine decided to eat it's bearings up this summer.

gearworks,

If you want, you can send some pictures of your car to me at [email protected] and I'll add a 'friends' Cars' section to my website, and then anyone could go there and see it. Ditto anyone else on the boards that have pics of their cars that would want them posted...

Mike
