Is there any other way? You and Rob have me convinced!

Like they say, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em.

I'm just looking around at the moment, would like to see if anyone wants to trade for my Talon once I get it running here in the next few weeks. If not, I'll just sell it and pick one up.

Been mulling the idea of selling or parting the GT out... If you decide to go the 4 banger route let me know...

Also the four bangers normally Cosmetically iffy but structurally great. Hard to beat up on torque boxes and tweak frames with the pavement pounding 80hp they layed out lol

why would he want to go slower than a cam only 5.3, have less parts availability, and spend more money?

LS is the way to go IF you are against SBF.

I'll save you the trouble lol. I'm basically on a rolling shell budget, if I sell the Talon, I might be on a running heap budget. You have neither. Looks nice for sure though!

I bought the car for $1500, got it running, made vid of the 351 and 4speed ("top loader") which was a huge selling point until further inspection was a old truck 4 speed. Guy I bought it from had no clue, and you could tell.
Posted vid and sold the motor for $700 and the trans for $300, I have $500 in the 4cyl shell and since it had shiney paint I was happy. I have seen much worse for $500.
This is a 50ft car. it has runs in the paint and needs to be cut and buff but for $500 I am not complaining!!

I had 20PSI in the tires and went 7.8 @90 off the trailer forgetting to shift DOH. Hot lapped it and got the shifts alot better to a 7.5 @ 95 with a 1.77. It was spinning so I knew there was more in it. I sat and watched a few cars and went back and lowered the pressure to 15 hoping it would stick...it did! felt good but noticed it was going left so I pulled it back to the right and I felt it get twitchy and then it goes L R L OH SHIT theres the wall...this is going to HURT....Right maybe I am OK and not going to hit the wall BAM...
Looked at it this AM, I believe it got the frame, got door gap that wasnt there before. Rear end looks like its cambered on one side.
SO, I am going to park it in the garage and chill out and sort things out.

Man, hate to here that. Atleast you were able to keep it from taking a hard hit and you are ok.

Rattletrap
06-30-2012, 09:56 AM
yep, it could have been alot worse!
I will take to a frame shop to see how bad it is, gap now btwn the door and B-pillar that was not there before.

sounds like it pulled the upper control arm mounts out.......

Rattletrap
07-02-2012, 08:24 AM
sounds like it pulled the upper control arm mounts out.......On the launch? or when it hit?
Either way I got to figrue out what the issue is.
Mounts being pulled out would explain the way the rear end looks like it sits now which didnt hit anything, too far back and if they pulled out on one of the previous runs that would explain why car didnt act like I thought it would but I did get pretty far out of the groove trying to drive it....

launch....it causes them to wiggle real bad....Mine did it at ATL many years ago.....If I had been at a smaller track it would have been in the wall...theres only a few spot welds that holds the upper mount in
