Desert Mavericks.......Sand Box

T-bird in the garage, check
Compressor, hoist, and tools, check
Just found out I have this weekend off work, double check

The engine and trans are finally coming out.

Once the engine is out do you guys have any suggestions in making this "130 hp 240 lb-ft" engine to have a little more pep. Not looking to break records or bank

 

Almost out! Got everything un-bolted just need to get a chain and be hoisted out. Would be out today but need to make time for family.

Anyone need an AOD trans or 8.8 rear end or anything from the 83 bird. Trans and rear end will be out tomorrow. The bird will probably be scraped shortly after unless someone wants to make it into a drag car

 

I need an AOD. Bad timing tho. Got layed off on Monday.

 

Sorry to hear that.

I'm in need of distributor, carb, headers, gears and diff for 28 spline 9", maybe an intake manifold. So trades will be considered

 

Anyone going to Cruise on Central this Saturday? Ill be there

 

I missed the cruise on Central...how was it? Static...sorry to hear about the layoff...that really sucks.

I'm thinking it's time for another mini-meet here! Maybe early to mid November or December time frame...and hopefully my car will make it to this one! Who's up for it???

 

I am in as long as I am free. I am about to start swapping parts onto the Maverick since I have them and a lot of free time. Small bumpers, grabber wing, sport mirrors, and floor shift.

 

With the exception of Jason (Static) I'm hearing crickets. Where is everybody??

 

Im still here. Also there is a grabber hood in Gilbert listed on craigslist. I dont have a job yet still otherwise I would have tried picking it up. http://phoenix.craigslist.org/evl/pts/5273693115.html

 

Did anyone miss me? lol Still working on getting life back to normal since splitting up with the ex wife last October. Been living at my dads house the last year waiting to buy a house. That hasnt worked out so moving into one of my dads rental down the street in a couple weeks. Youd think Id have all kinds of free time being single now. But Ive filled that time with poker and single women. lol. Have no motivation to work on my old cars since theyve been sitting outside for a year. Once I get moved in and get them in the garage Ill clean up the maverick and truck and fix a couple things ive been putting off on both of them and get them back out on the road. the poker and girl fun will slow down since Ill actually have bills to pay again.

A mini meet in early december sounds like a great idea.

 

Find some cheap E7 heads to swap on to it, some people practically give them away. They are much better then the heads on it now. then toss in a nice lumpy cam, RPM, intake and a 600 CFM carb. should be a nice 250hp cruiser.

 

Who is this again?? Oh, that's right....R Y A N. Wondering what happened to you! Hope we can do the mini-meet in early December then....but so far it's just you, Static and myself.

 

Do any of you guys like to play poker? I have a full size poker table for my new house and I'm going to set up some home games a couple times a month. We would play tournament style, buy in and play till you bust out or get in the money spots. maybe $20 or $40 games. its cheap fun.

 

I play a in free bar league poker game nightly here on the east side called Universal Poker Club. I would be in to play but you're over an hour away
