yup

Blackcoog I should be sending you a PM in not too long here. I have a couple questions about the 3L process and such. I'm considering my options at this point as I fear that the current engine in my car is on its last leg. The only real problem I have at this point is guaranteed funding of this project and what ELSE I will want to replace when I do it.

I want many things done with my car but alas money is a killer.

Let me think about it. Hard for me to part with that car just cuz it's so cool. hahaha It already has a 3 link in the rear...might be able to just beaf that up, depending on how wide the rear tires you were thinking of running are.
 
I forgot to post this up when I had it done. Laura will be sad haha. I had the Marq hauled away a week or so ago. Got sick of it sinking deeper into my yard. Here is the carnage:

Yes if you want to know... The driver had to use the edge of the flatbed to pick the front end of the car up so he could get the tow chains under it. Sometimes BIG comfortable cars can be a pain in the arse. :laugh:

ah that would work. i want something that will accept a 9" (if it doesnt already have one) and 10.5" drag radials. they might fit without tubbing a ford full size, i'm not sure. i would honestly do that trade, lol. would just have to get another beater for a DD :p

the problem is, i'd be the one getting a deal lol

I am considering the trade if you really want it. It needs alot of work, but would make a sweet drag car. I could use your help with the blasting side of things and a motor swap into my SVT. ;)
I'd be willing to put a decent link system into it, but we probably will need the rims and tires you plan on running so we can work around them. Let me know what you wanna do. I'm open to different options.

you know i talk alot. i know you need mad skrilla :p

i dont have anything to give but a car, and i honestly would need a DD. however, i really want a full size ford and you know this. that car needs a ton of work. i want something that will launch, accept a big block with ease, be low, black, and ford fullsize. :D i'm no fabricator, you are. i would do a payment plan on it if you really wanted to sell it though. i'm sure you noticed my instant interest in that car, even as it sits in the field i can see exactly what i could make it into :)
 
Reminds me of when I worked at the dealerships and people would come in insisting that their car was a certain package and we would have to kindly tell them that it was not. People's stupidity towards autos makes me :laugh::laugh:
