Man, I dig the car and all... but good LORD you are an awful photographer! Holy shitballs dude, you accidentally got a HOUSE in the way there, lol.

I found some more old pictures of my Mustang. It had the SVO 2.3 in it and gold Saleens when I bought it. Then I put the Cobra wheels and put a LAI on it. Then blew up the 4cyl and put a 302 in it and went drag racing. It was pretty slow, but it did outrun an R1... in the eighth.

i took that on my cracker jack phone! camera's broke.

Yep. Ghetto liquid-to-air intercooler. The top was a stop sign heli-arc'd to the original SVO intercooler casting. The bottom was just a piece of sheet steel since the SVO IC was steel there too. The system used 1/2" hose and an ice chest under the hatch. The pump was a 12v unit for an RV sink (running water). It worked as well as I needed it to, I routinely saw 30psi and it was pretty fast for a 2.3. Until I holed a piston...

I also had a TurboCoupe IC I used when I didn't want to run the LAI.

I dig it . I have been a few rounds with the 2.3t's in both injected and carbed trim . I like em but they are not a v8 .

[dumpycapri85]

I still have this little monster .

Exactly.

That's why I put a V8 in it as soon as it holed the piston. Our man Denny will appreciate these pics!!

*edit*

'79-81 Cobra... be still my heart. More pics please!!

my monster/ boat anchor

[dumpycapri85]

Yep , 79 2.3T . TRX wheels , factory manual steering and brakes with A/C . I did the same thing and crated the complete 2.3 and put an in it . I have a 79 2.3T Ghia also .

Thats not a T Clint .

You really should sell me that! SROD?

My '80 hatchback was built from an '86 SVO wreck, so it had all the drivetrain from that car (2.3 with .48 a/r T3, PE computer with 30lb injectors, T-5, 7.5 with 3.73s).

I put a K&N on the vane meter and used a stock Ranger roller cam in it. I was fixing it more than driving it. I was doing a head gasket about once a month and I put two clutches in it. I knocked about a dozen teeth off the 3.73s so I replaced it with a 3.27 8.8 from a Mark VII. That was probably at its fastest. Then I put a .63 a/r T3 on it and swapped the gears for 4.30s and that made it slower than stock. Oh well. I beat on it a lot and it was easy to fix. I miss it.
