    Cool Muscle cars and Muscle bodies.. any link?

    Are any of you guys into muscle cars?

    By muscle car I mean american V8 power, or turbo/supercharged cars..not a riced out honda civic.

    I own a 1970 mustang grande. Lotsa engine/driveline work along with a healthy shot of nitrous.


    OT: Wow.. 5 new threads in 15 minutes!

    PaPaPumP: Doh! Sorry bout that guy.. keep forgetting about the lounge. Thanks for moving this. And I hope you're joking about what vehicles you're into (where's that barf smilie?)? 4x4's and big ass rims just don't go together. Seen that pic from SEMA with the new hummer H2 on what must be 24" rims? Aweful!

    Yes muscle trucks count also! 430Hp hey Oak? Whatcha got under the hood? And how the hell do you hook up? I own a truck, but it's a 85 GMC 3/4T 4x4 lifted 7" and with 38" tires. It's slow as hell!

    When I was 18 I got a 1972 Pontiac Lemans - had the skirts for her and everything. I replaced everything from the front to the back. Awesome compression! I bought it from an old lady that didn't want it because it just sat in her garage, covered nonetheless . It was mint. I used to get people asking to buy it while taking her down the highway.

    The best way is how we kept the stock stereo in place and built a new one into the glove box. We cut a square out of my buddies closet door to make it, his Mom was pissed! ... but it looked tight!

    But then it happened... the pin in the master failed and it all went to hell. Couldn't find the right size pin and the car would refuse to brake unless you pushed really hard on the pedal. Then you would have to get out and pull the cover off and loosen the pin... man, it was a mess. Replaced the master cyclinder all the brake lines and the power booster... but still the pin would not seat.

    But the good old days... now the boyz are all working on rice burners with career paychecks and the old carburated muscle wheels are rarely seen.

    This is what the type I had (not her):

    Here is a pic of under the hood, again not the actual car. As many rice burner ethusiast can see you can basically fit a 12 pack in their while you are working on it But the problem was inbetween the master cyclinder (leaking in this photo) and the powerbooster (big round hooyaa next to the mc) in the upper right side next to the firewall.

    (This guys engine needs some attention!)

    Cool deal bro i have a 1965 mustang notchback. only thing i have a pick of is my dusty engine when it was basicly stock and just came outa retirement . Now i have the same motor plus about 150 horsepower (50 shot of nitrous). Im saving my money for either a 351w on spray or a 331 stoked 302 with a blower whichever one i can afford. After the swap i should be running 10 teens with it . hopefully my face will look like the kids in your avatar when i come off the trans brake

    Daily Driver is a 1996 Taurus SHO with the 3.4 V8... One day when I finally get up the extra $4000 she's getting a supercharger and extra exhaust work to make her really move...

    Play car is a 1980 Corvette L48 4-Speed... I love this car but it's time for a full rebuild and alot of $$$....

    I could drop $20,000 large in no time when it comes to my toys...

    Plus I have dreams of buying and restoring a 1969 Mustang Coupe...

    I need to hit the Lotto

    Thats what i love about the newyork street scene most guys are in there early 20's and some in there early 30's one of the fastest guys around is only 17 . Most young guys these days are into the rice junk its refreshing to see a few younger guys with real horsepower.

    Personally i had my car since i was 16.

    well I guess since I ain't mo big mofo ...can't drive a muscle car....
    that's why i have a 89 CRX HF with fully built b-18 ,greddy's blower squeezing 16 psi and a 30 hp spray shot to get the thing going while the turbo spoils up....
    Maybe the cars are like owners...little,low, rusted outside and eats up big boys on a regular basis.....hehehehhehe just like me.....

    That beats the hell out of mine, a '91 CRX Si, and it only has a ZC DOHC non-VTEC engine, no other mods. I can beat, uh, like, well, any stock CRX...

    I'm with papapump, I'm into the big suvs because racing in seattle is very limited. I'd rather roll slow through the streets in my Tahoe.

    even tho im not into the rice rx7's are the shit! only because its a rotory and not some shitty 4 banger. Only fast imports around are rx7s and supras. Never forget the first time we took an rx on pkwy the thing just wouldnt stop winding out.

    ricans have some baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad baaaaad rotaries bolted inside 84 and 86 toyotas smoking all the 5.0 ,camaros ,chargers and novas that showed up for the race.

    i had a 72 mustang that i was restoring with my father, it had a 429, with 370 horse, it was a mach 1, one bad ass car that was extremely loud. I sold it however right now i have a 94 camaro but its a v6 with 30k miles. But i cant stand the thought of having a v6 when it should be a v8 so im selling it within the next month or two, hopefully getting an older vette or a nice mustang gt. Oh yeah and my dad had a 69 camaro drag car, but he sold the car, we still have the engine however, its putting out over 700 hp and running 9s, lets see a ricer do that.

    Hmmm... I didn't think you could get a 72 stang with a 429! Thought the biggest engine available in 72 was a 351C. OR was this a motor-swap? Easily done in those cars. Too bad you sold it, sounds like a mean car!

    BTW: Did you know that in 1974, the you couldn't buy a mustang with a V8 at all? Biggest engine was a straight 6!

    yeah the 429 was a swap from an old licoln i think, noone would ever know the diffence though. the guy who had the car before i did swapped the engine so i never saw the 351w. and yeah those 74 mustangs were pretty bad, not to mention ugly.

    A straight 6 would never fit in a '74 Mustang II. The engine was an OHC inline four. Mustang II was just a Pinto in drag.

    There were 2 engine options. An OHC straight 4, and a straight 6 (or was it a V6?). Believe me, I used to own a 78 Mustang II. Tho it only had the 2.3L 4banger, my repair manual had all kinds of crap for the 6cyln engine. I believe it was a 3.8L. And if there's no room for the 6cyln, how they heck did they get the V8 in there?

    And yeah, the Mustang II's wern't Fords best stang by a long shot. Sales in 74 were pretty remarkable tho.

    Man I love the SHO's.. My bro had 3 of them. A very under-estimated car. I never understood why they took away the manual option though.. I have a 1990 Integra woo hoo lol.. Actually with the few bolt-on's it doesn't go to bad.. somehow smoked a Celica GT the other day..the driver was crap... I also have a 1995 Camaro.. That's my baby... V8 of course.. Once I am done school I want to bore that engine out, replace the cam's and supercharge it!!
