i buy a cheap 240 at i salvage,thats what i said on page 2,
240 shell,ls1 auto,=fast as hell for cheap
we have to use an import shell to have HD involed,it only fair to the site sponsers!!!
running the stang woudl be the best and fastest way. it already has a 4link from the factory. just box in some things and i know the areas that need to be done. its easier to find parts for this setup then it would be a jap car with domestic motor. also dont need a pig block when a small block can do the trick and is LIGHTER
i agree!!!
even though the stang would be fastest
stangs have been on there and raced and been done
a 240 with a ls1 eye cathcing and everyone is involed and to build it not that hard of a build!
vote 2
but stangs have been done allready on the show…yeah its got a differnt motor but its been done before
no way no polls
i can help with labor for now, and once my car is done and jeff is paid, i could probably throw some money wherever it is needed.
doesnt matter if its been done before. you are there to take the win. its so easy to build the GenIII into a fox. parts are there not much fabbing
there has been a shit load of f bods in the last few episodes, soo why wouldnt they do a mustang again?
Rock the 240 like brian said. find a coupe and will be lighter than fox body. Something similar to project ugly… as for fab it would be same amount either way. Still have to make headers, still have to make drivesahft, motor mounts. Honestly would not matter. As for the rear, last time i checked Jay was running pretty good with Pat’s car. Remember this car is lighter so should not be as hard on parts. Especially if it is automatic.
marketing and publisizers diont care about that they want differnet
this is gonna be bad ass…i look forward to seing this…i should be able to throw a couple bucks later on
If you guys are going with the fox, I am 90% sure I have a set of stock 4-banger fox springs I could donate.
I can’t tell if you are DEFINITELY going with the fox…?
paint this mother black and gold… we don’t people thinkin pittsburgher only build ugly shit.
i like it…
WHO GETS THE project CAR and or cars that are won?
back to previous post, if they want different, why are there all kinds of f bods on the last few episodes
read the whole thread? if car is won, it will prob. be sold off, and then split between the shops that built the pittspeed car
dont need to make headers. like i said fox headers work with LS1 flanges just need to align the tubes up and thats isnt much work.
building a fox would require less fabing then a 240
the intial hit of torque of the SBC would be greater a turbo motor would. personally i would rather have a solid axle
notch fox can hit 2500lbs take more weight off and you ahve 2500lbs with driver
PM sent to Spangs about Hayden 404 Tranny cooler and Cheap summit race seats.
Don’t know if you guys can use them, but they are yours for the taking. I also wouldn’t mind putting in some work on the car if needed.
what is the real benefit of building a 9/10 second car? It seems that most of the races are won by the stupid ass negotiating. Build something that you can all of a sudden make faster, ie. turbo and wastegate like 1320 said.
You would need to have something that looks descent. I don’t think they would let a pieced together 240 that is 3 different colors or all rusty be on the show.
Ls1 wiring Harness and Computer i got that aslo -injector plugs:rolleyes:
