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.

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.

:lol: 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.

Now let us clearify there is lowered and there is slammed . marz has the first I've looked and not replied what a POS. And i guess its because of the fact that I've watched it progress . 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.
