Hey everyone, Thought I would update yall on my progress. Decided to go with a 4speed. Picking it up friday, installing it Monday, and will have the car running Tuesday (Hopefully)! I decided on the paint to: Since I'm putting on a Cowl hood scoop with around 4 inch cowl lift, I will be painting the car a grabber blue kind of color, don't know the name of it, and I will have one white fat racing stripe down the middle. It will be done by the end of Summer, I pray. Looking into turbocharging the I6 sometime soon too...got the turbo and setup for it free. 8.8" will be nice to look at soon, along with disc brakes in the front. Right now I'm doing some research on cylinder heads for 200ci I6s. So far, I know that the 1.94 valves won't fit because of spark plug clearence...so I'm going with the valves from a Chevy 305 which measure 1.8... and exhaust of 1.60. Followed by a three angle valve job. I'll keep yall posted.
what rims and tires size is that.....4 lugs?? i cant find them anywhere at all....i want some 15" for the front but i cant afford 5 lug conversion and rims and tires... let me know...thanks and it is looking good...keep up the good work
looks like its comming along! oh man you gonna beat me to the I6 turbo in a maverick huh.. bumber.. good this way you can figure out all the problems then i can copy it
Hey, Those are 14" in the back and 13" in the front...I think. I just threw them on and added a fence post top to the back. Looks good though huh? I'm sorry I don't know the exact size but they are 4 lug. I can't wait to polish them up more. As far as the turbo, luckly I know how to fabricate because there will be alot of that needed...as far as the piping, intercooler, and manifolds. I'm getting the turbo out of a Peugot sitting in the back of my friend's shop. I'll probably replace most of whats in it or if I see that getting a new turbo is cheaper I may go that way too. I'll keep you updated on the turbo, once I start it. I just want to get my car to life first, which hopefully will be by this weekend..(Fingers crossed.) Wish my luck, Jeff
