Zac_F71's 71 Demon

Well almost a year later! LOL

My last computer (desktop was out of date) so got a new one, and have been so busy working on the car it's not funny. Haven't been able to find time to update -

Sadly I used Photobucket to host all my pics and I see they are all gone now so bare with me while I reupdate all the pics I had posted plus the new one's to come.

New update - sorry no pics with this post - they will come tomorrow or Tuesday depending on how busy/behind I am with the car here.

Starting last year -
Sold the junk FBO ignition box for an MSD Digital 6AL.
Bought and installed a brand new QFT SQ750 carb (runs MINT!)

Got the car aligned, made it to Mopars in the Park car show with it, but didn't get to drive it much due to running hot and not cooling down.

Went on vacation in Wisconsin with the car July 2017, and actually put 300 miles on the car after installing a 180* Tstat, stock crank pulley/7 blade fan, and original shroud. Raced a friends 550hp 79 Bronco, and waxed him haha. Took some retro pics of the car in the same location it had been when we bought it in 1993-94.

Went home knowing what needed to be done to the car. Had to change the cooling system AGAIN. So I came to terms with "cutting" the car up since I knew bolt in stock style parts just simply wouldn't work for the car. Sold a bunch of parts, got a Summit credit card (LOL), so the craziness began! Was just going to do the cooling system and battery relocation BUT oh well..

Howe Racing fox Mustang 2 row (1" tube) aluminum radiator

Quoted $85 to cut/weld/balance the aluminum shaft
Dropped off my core BB A727 trans with my 3500 stall/Turbo Action reverse manual valvebody to get rebuilt
^ $1,200 to rebuild w/ alto red clutches, kolene steels, bolt in sprag, and a few other parts

Still need to get a new air filter as the 1 3/4" drop base 14x4 I have now hits the new throttle cable bracket, and might prove to be to tall to the scoop

Motor is getting torn down to get it ready to reinstall the solid roller next weekend, and redyno the motor while waiting for the new trans to come back. Hope to see 525hp from the 383 after the cam/intake install. So ya - she is all sorts of torn apart. Battery box install is 90% done, new cooling system is 75% done, and currently working on tearing the motor apart and installing the new pinion yoke to measure the new drive shaft. If all goes well the driveshaft will get dropped off Monday.

Till next time (hopefully have a little time tomorrow to transfer and post some new pics)
