As I've commented in other threads my engine is quite worn out. My current plan is to try to limp it along until spring, when moneys come a bit more easily, and do something about the situation.
My desires for this car are for it to be a really fun and quick street car.
I'm not out street racing or anything but at the same time don't want to get left at the green light by every ricer.
I do want to be able to cruise at 70mph or more on the interstate. An smoke the tires leaving the parkig lot if I'm feeling stupid.
What would be a good direction to go with these goals? I have a bone stock 250 out of a '72 Maverick. This won't be a total shoe string build but I'm not flush with cash either. Currently have the C4 trans and (2.7?) ratio 8" from the Mav too.
Last spring's project was suspension and brakes. Starting planning, or dwelling and obsessing, on that one about six months in advance also.
I kind of wish this was as easy as building a SBC where its as easy as a chart showing parts A, B, and C will give you X HP and Y torque.
