this is my bird after the 4 banger blew from the very start when I drove the car I LOVED IT !! but it lacked the kind of power i was looking for. The car just seemed to big for a 4 banger. So after it BLEW UP! I knew it was time for a change!


I DID LIKE THE FEEL OF A TURBO so my choice was easy " SUPERCHARGED SMALL BLOCK " BACK FROM THE DEAD!!
I started with a 1991 302HO bored.30 over that makes a 306. The motor was balanced/decked,ect it has forged pistons victor jr aluminum heads and intake fully race ported and polished.msd pro billit distributor, geardrive,bbk underdrive pullys,harland sharp 1.6 roller rockers,hyd roller cam,bbk headers,main stud girdle,7 quart milodon oil pan,arp bolts from top to bottom,and solid motor mounts.it's 8.5.1 compression perfect for a blower.

the motor bay was taken down to bare metal and sprayed the factory color with clearcoat,can't wait till the whole car looks that good!here is more pictures of the motor bay.

Now let's talk handling I wanted my bird to fly and handle like it's on rails! so here's what I did.I took out the stock K-member and put in a GRANATELLI tubluar K-member.
And I went with tubluar A-arms.

For struts I went with QA1 10 way adjustable struts with adjustable coil over kit,And caster/camber plates.
next on the list is 13"drilled and sloted rotors with cobra calipers,and a steeda bumpsteer kit.here are some pictures of the car on stands.



The inside is in good shape aside from the seats being a little faded from the sun there perfect.



I have 4 five lug 98 mustang rims and tires 4 sale 245/45/zr17 toyo tires in great shape!$500 takes them.
