Very nice :D
I too have a soft spot for the LTD mags, but I actually have a chance to get my hands on a set. :wink: I recently found a mint DL LTD for my father in-law, now all I have to do is convince him to put mags on it.....then I will kindly offer to "take them off his hands" as he has no idea what they are worth :lol:
Sorry mate, this thread has taken off in the wrong direction......back to your ride :oops:
Mate, all I can say is keep it just the way it is...........simple yet classy! You have a very nice package you have put together there IMO!........Ok, 1 thing, tint????
Cheers,
Mick
PS.....Love the Avatar too mate....... :mrgreen:

Mick, you're a very smart man if you manage to get those rims.

Tint would look nice too, i didnt pick up on that one first time round. And maybe colour code the moulds to the colour of the car? Although it looks fine just the way it is 8-)

Cheers Shav. I get alot've comments on how tough it sounds.
Not sure how much it was exactly. Got the whole engine built last year. Was a custom crow cam to Bruce's specs. You go to Heinrich's right? He'll hook you up :wink:

yeah i do. Bruce knows his stuff. Im only asking out of interest. not sure if i'll bother though. looking to just add more boost instead. :mrgreen:

your engine seems to be pushing good power. its certainly a sleeper of sorts.

I don't understand cam specs or speak. What do you want to know exactly?
I can answer specific question about it.

Ill just write what the sheet says.

Inlet lobe lift: .3120
Inlet valve lift: .5054
Exhaust lobe lift: .3120
Exhaust valve lift .5054
.050" Duration: 216
Advertised Duration: 286

Power from about 2500-6000.

That what you wanted to know?
Like i said i don;t understand cams at all.


Turns out the spec sheet is from a 5.0L Windsor. I was given the wrong one.

Hey guys. The other day i thought id have the exhaust cut off at the diff to see any gains.
It did feel a bit better, seemed to go harder. But i couldn't live with it so reattached it.

Just wanted to put up a pic. Did sound cool tho!!
