1982 Ford Fairmont LSx Turbo swap, 9 second pass! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWU4t2AG4Pg#ws)

I'm kinda speechless. Shits sleeper as hell. I like it.

shit bud glad to see you made it over to this site :noel:

...questions? comments? lol
Fuck Yeah!

Awesome
Why did ya stick with 8.8 and not a ford 9"?
I have a Mustang GT and thinking of converting rear disc, and I keep seeing people doing 5-lug conversion.
How come you didn't do the 4 to 5-lug conversion? :noel:
-
I love it! I really like how it's all done on a low buck budget. What are u using for engine management?
-
Shit that limping old fuck is the reason we blew up 2 trans, he refused to lay down enough water for us. BTW Island doesnt really care if you run 10's with out a cage, but when you running high 9's they ask you to slow down :noel:
How close is island drag way to you?

the 8.8 drops in stock, its cheap and light.
the 9 inch is expensive and heavy and i would have to get mounts and shit to swap it in.
same thing with the 5 lug, why swap, 4 lug works great.
