  1. the adjuster is giving an offer, you don't have to take it. negotiate the items in question with sending pictures as i am sure they took their own and show cost for items. insurance companies always low ball
  2. I am checking with a couple shops to see if they could do the swap for you.
  3. I'd do a freshen up on the motor, either just re-ring and bearing, since the 86 is a forged piston motor or go to 306 but if you're going to 306 might as well go 331 for a few hundred more since you're boring it out anyways. Put a nice set of twisted wedge or afr 165/185 heads and performer rpm or twisted wedge intake on it. Around a 510-520 lift cam. A centerforce dual friction type clutch, pro 5.0 shifter, fms driveshaft. Shorty headers and X-pipe with your choice of mufflers. Frame ties. Put 3.73 to 4.10 gears. Do a 5 lug swap with 31 spline axles with a limited slip diff. poly bushing upper and lowers. a decent rate spring all the way around. then you would need a tune, injectors and i'd put a bigger radiator in. you should run 11's (depending on which heads and gear you choose) on a drag radial and drive where ever you want. the t-5 with the pro 5.0 and that block will hold that hp and set up for a long time. issues happen when you add power adders, like a 225 shot and split the block in half to run 10.20's on heads that only flow 170 cfm on the intake side...lol i ran base performer heads with a f cam and 1.7 roller rockers on a stock block 347 for years with a victor jr intake and 650 carb hooked to a t-5 for years. that combo on a radial in a stock suspension 84 vert went 11.82 with 4.10 gears and burnt up radials. then in a 89 coupe with 4.30 gears and a slick its gone 11.42
  4. if you get another set I'm interested
  5. I hit up Silver lake every year and try to hit Hatfield McCoy once a year at least too. Good times right there.
  6. I can say its gotten worse. Last year we had 32 fatal accidents, this year we are already at 17 with the worst accident months still ahead.
  7. Chinese 110 four wheeler and turn the throttle down.
  8. You forgot to add that David's brother Richard was a famous doctor until he was framed for the murder of his wife by the one armed man.

  10. 1993 Mustang Convertible 4cyl originally. It has a 1968 302 with C4 and hooker long tubes shoved in it now. 5 lug conversion. I got it as a project and picked the engine up to throw in it. Well I got a great deal on a 70 Mach1 and don't have time to mess with this car anymore. It has a tubular K member. The wiring all Works. Drivers side rear window motor needs new gears other than that top and windows work. It has a recent paint job but ground effects aren't finished. The paint job isn't the best. The carpet and front seats aren't there but can throw in 84 or 93 grey seats. It has a tubular K member. Manual rack. Haven't checked brakes even yet. It does move under its own power but will need towed or I can drop it off within a reasonable distance. Super clean body. Pics in my album if someone wants to link it as I am horrible at it. $2850 obo not really looking for any trades as I have too many projects and cars currently
  11. 11.44 @ 118 first pass of the trailer Ironing out some rear suspension issues after I ripped an upper torque box out at NMRA. Hope to get the 60' down a little and get an 11.3? out of it soon.
  12. yeah its at chassis shop, i'll have my beater 89 coupe out
  13. what condition are the doors in?

  15. I took the beater out and ran a 11.42 @ 118 with a 1.50 60' new best with it. just a spare parts car. Was a fun day, thanks for having it.
  16. 10.44 @ 131...best mph in a few years. I guess fresh rings make a diff.
