Been a while to this site and had to get a new login

I was on here a couple years ago, and have met a few members, but couldn't remember my login, so I had to get a new one. My name is Todd and I live in Gahanna. I've been building cars on and off for the last 20 years and have mostly focused on motor swaps and basic small block builds for street cars. My current project is a 92 Fox coupe street/strip car that should put down decent power when done. I like to do all the work myself, so it's going to be a long-haul until it's done. It should be another 8 months until it's road worthy, just in time for the track to open in the spring. I've attached a few pics below to see the progress.

Guess I should put the above in here

Thanks for the compliment Rob (I'm SBFSupra from BuckeyeStangs). No plans for any power adders yet, as the motor is really not built for boost or spray. Knowing myself pretty well, I will likely want to spray a 150 shot to it when I get bored after a day of passes. I did a pretty basic build on the production block, so I have to be careful not to pop it. I still plan to stop over at the shop sometime soon to check out the operation.

Welcome back and nice fox. And does your name on buckeye stangs have any truth to it :)

 

There is some truth to it, as I do have an 89 caged Supra, that I had planned to do a small block Ford motor, but when I realized the investment involved, I decided not to complete the project. I had the shell advertised a number of times, but I have since started cutting it up to go to the scrap yard. Long story, but I ended up with the notch instead, which is a much better platform for what I want.

Gahanna resident here as well.. what year were/are you?

 

Much older than you. I graduated from Gahanna in 1989 (man does that make me feel old). I lived out of state and then in Reynoldsburg for a little while before moving back to Gahanna about six years ago.

Believe me Rob, if you saw the shop I do some of my work in, your place would look like an organized surgical room.

 

my shop is somewhat clean at time's, but today i had the bobcat back here, and its time to power wash the front lot again, and step back and clean house..lol

That wouldve been nice to see! Sad you cut up the shell I use to have a 89 supra and have been thinkng of getting another one

 

I would have given you the shell with 10 point cage for $250. Believe me, it needed a ton of work. I had 250 hours in the project and was looking into spending $10k to get it rolling under its own power. I cut the cage out of it and plan to use it as a start to a rail/dune buggy. That's a project for another year.

Hey Andy. Good to see the cable worked out. Once I get the car on the road, I'll be looking to get some gatherings together. Thanks for the compliment on the car. Someday it will be something.

Nice car... Wrong motor... J/K... Good luck...

 

Yeah I know, you can only go so far on a production block. I do have a spare 351W when (not if) I pop this one. I'd love to come across a new modular motor and build a boost horse or do a 460 with a ton of spray. It only takes money, right?
