Popular Post Mercury Kid Posted April 2, 2009 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 Don't really know what to say about my self other than I'm pretty much a car freak through and through. I'll make sure to post some car pictures to avoid maximum fail though. Sorry if the first one is too big. This is my '63 Mercury Comet. I dropped in the mild 289 and a T5 and also did the axle swap. http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg165/Mercury_Kid/DSC05723.jpg This is the daily. It's running a supercharged single slam with the usual bolt-ons. http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg165/Mercury_Kid/DSC05726.jpg 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercury Kid Posted April 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 I haven't run it yet. This is the first year I've had it in a condition where I'm not embarassed to run it, but it's not legal yet and I'm still getting the tunnel ram tuning figured out.

Mercury Kid Posted April 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 that tunnel is to much for that.... needs a single carb top on it I've heard it all before, and I did lots of research before I did it. It runs good, just needs some kinks worked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TA In Progress Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 Welcome to CR, and nice Comet! It's always nice to see a fellow antique owner... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aesthetic_Influx Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 Love the Comet. Classic cool. I really enjoy the fact that your Civic is supercharged (hence, quicker than the basic model, obviously) and the only aftermarket parts that stand out when the hood is closed are the wheels, ride height and that front lip (I think). I'm assuming you have some kind of cat-back upgrade, but either way... very clean and respectable. :thumbup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTQ B4U Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 Sorry....I make a quick edit to remove some of the color cast. I'm funny like that. Welcome! Like the sleeper effect on the DD. Old school is cool too. http://www.pbase.com/timothylauro/image/110867348.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well i've done it. ended being the car was faster with a single carb, on a victor intake.. bute came out of the hole a shade better with the single on the tunnel.

Mercury Kid Posted April 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 Sorry....I make a quick edit to remove some of the color cast. I'm funny like that. Thanks, I took the pic in the warehouse at the shop I used to work in, hence the crappy lighting. I don't have photoshop either. Gearhead, thanks for the input, most people just make satements and only have hearsay to back them up. It's not exactly a hardcore drag car and I think the ram really completes it so I take the trade off. Besides, I can only fit a 235/60 in the back so it leaves about the same as the civic.
