the merc is ruining a 305 from a caprice so it's not that great a motor as the northstar but it runs strong with those turbos.layedout72 wrote:not just any v8 though. i love the northstars, great motors imo. have a buddy with one turbo'd. just sick that hes doing a twin turbo setup man.

You should tell him how much better it would run with a sbf twin turbo in it.

Well they like how my 302 looks and works in my truck so they decided to cut the body off of a 89 mark7 and slap on the body of a 50's ford shoe box, the car comes with air ride, 5.0 HO and AOD what else can you ask for. It's the car behind my truck.
I forgot who told me this but the car in the picture above looks like it's on top of my trucks bed.

I swear I saw where he was building a Northstar? Maybe he was thinking about it. I dont know. Maybe it's a different build, but I could have sworn it was his. I love his build though, just would have been sick with a northstar

I saw a bunch of those tape measures every were I went but I didn't want to spend that much money so I finally found the right size and price that I was looking for at harbor freight. If I was working construction then I would be better of with something like what you have.wt4speed#2 wrote:I takes so very little to entertain an idot I got one on a 12 foot tape measure that gives you cross hairs or an "X" .marz68 wrote:check out my new toy

And the kid ain't got no back up in him . The repliy to 19674x4 comment is the 1st I've ever seen him post ,positive,negative or otherwise . The kid has a vision in his head and he is gonna go thur with it come hell or high water(of course high water ain't good for his for numerous reasons). marz I appluade you for your actions and someday you'll be world famous . Keep on keepin on bro.
