WTF build thread...
I picked up a Ford 9” last night... I know “8.75 is better” but We have a brand new 3.73 posi in the garage for the 9”. I have two pair of qa1 coilovers so the rear is going 4 link of course.
I purchased CPP 13” front discs and 12” rear with a billet master, chrome booster and built in proportioning valve (which the brother in law wants to hide under the dash) because “I don’t have anything on my firewalls”
I picked up a 1972 360 donor block from a low mileage class c motorhome and am in the process of disassembling.
for ***** and giggles I shoved some 19” BBS magnesium centerlocks with nitto 555 tires under the front tonight and it looked ridiculously awesome!
I was planning 17x7 up front and 18x9.5 out back because the valiant is a relatively small vehicle but the 19’s look so awesome I’m rethinking my wheel choice...
the goal is a mellow, quiet, smooth driving 500hp rear wheel horsepower car.
The speed limit here in Idaho is 80 some places and I want to cruise the freeway in the summer and hear nothing but wind. A true pleasure to drive.
We are currently building a large shop on our land and until it’s done, machine work will be done at the shop I rent but the build is beginning in the garage. It was 36 tonight while I was working so I threw some logs in the wood burner. It was nice and toasty!
this is going to be a fun build and an extremely fun car to drive. I look forward to building a car with my brother in law and hopefully there will be many more to come!
sorry but I have to...
