Default Re: Dime rocket followup - If I build one

Don't spend your $$$$$$$$$$$ on the NHRA stuff until you're sure it is a viable combination. Run T&T's to figure it out. Eddie may sound a little rough but he makes a good point. This isn't your NHRA of old.
Now for the car. Loose all of the exhaust after the H-pipe. Get a wireing diagram and see if you can drop in an ecu from a mustang gt of the same year. Put at least a 4:10 gear in it and if you're not within1.2 to .8 of the index. take it to the crusher and use the money for the enjoyable beverage of your choice. Oh by the way, find you a mod motor in a u-pull it wrecking yard and spend the day/week/month just taking it apart. No one watches what your doing or even if your buying anything from it and it will give you an idea of weather you want to wrestle that bear. One last thing check the intake manifold. These were plastic and prone to breaking.
