85 Crown Vic
wanting to do a Torque-arm, coil-over conversion with a watts link in the rear,

mild 351W hoping for 350HP or so and 400+ft/lbs (without the nitrous)

hopefully hit a 13.999 or faster in a car that weighs over 3800# and can still corner.

My next one will be a 92-93' coupe(and yes I'll get it before Pat gets his greedy ass hands on it). I plan on doing a 331 or 347 stroker motor with an S-Trim charger on it. But then again I can keep my current LX because there is not much left to do to it. I need to do rear 1/4 windows and the hatch window trim and the car will be done. I've always wanted another coupe though.

a four eyed coupe is what i want after i either wreck or something happens to the one i have now god forbid.
But currently, for my 86 GT hatch ive bought the longblock gt-40p motor from an exploder, ive bought the new gears, ive bought the polished cobra intake, next will come the gt-40p headers and aluminum radiator w/ an e cam and 1.7 ford motorsport rockers with a MAF conversion
Looking for somewhere around 300hp
Anyone got some recommendations for valve springs? (part numbers on like jegs or summit or 50resto whatever has them... links would help too)

My build right now. I'm hoping to have my very first car of over 400rwhp on the squeeze. Hoping for mid-low 11s with the 5spd. Not sure how long I'll keep the car though after it's back together.

Currently looking for a 68 for a pro-touring project. Engine plans = top secret.
