Currently in process is the complete restoration/modification to my Dad's old
1967 Mercury Comet Sports Coupe.
7/7/09 update: Next week's install is the power window kit, shaved door handle kit, trans cooler, a/c condenser, electric fan; battery, battery box, in trunk; Lokar midnight series gas pedal, throttle & kickdown cables and rear shocks. Seats I am looking at 2007 LSC black leather full power/heated. Gauges are next, custom gauges installed in original cluster and possibly heads up display. Chrome is out at the shop, all emblems reconditioned. need to find .090 barrel clips.
I am replacing the stock 202 inline 6 with a 302 HO motor out of a '92 LSC. The motor has been stripped of all EFI equip. The lower end is good it will get new heads and cam. Engine mods include: Ford Racing E303 Hydraulic roller cam, World Products Windsor Sr. heads, Edlebrock Performer RPM Manifold, Edelbrock 750 Carb, BBK ceramic coated full length headers.
Trans is a custom built C4 non AOD built by Freddie Brown at F&B Performance out of New York. The stall converter is a Hughes Performance Streetmaster 2500 stall Torque Converter.
The rear end is a Ford 8.8 posi rear end with .373 gearing. New rear leaf spring suspension as well as Lakewood Traction Bars.
The shock towers have been shaved and coil over suspension with a power rack & pinion setup installed. The firewall and left & right engine compartment panels will be chromed and will hide the plumbing.
...more details to follow.
