| What did I get?! And how do I Tell?!? |

Ok, First off, let me say thanks for having a board like this, as locally in my area, there arn't too many (if any) Ford enthusiasts.
I've inherited a 1970 Ford LTD 2 door Brougham. It's got 72K miles on it, and other that a little paint wearing on the front, it's MINT. EVERYTHING WORKS, even the air con and factory cruise control.
I had a new timing chain installed (roller) and a new fuel pump, and went through the smallish 2bbl carb.
OK, now.... Of course I don't want to sell it (it's sentimental to me), but I certinly want to play with it a bit. Trac loc is first thing that comes to mind, as anything over 1/2 throttle tears the rr tire off the pavement.
I've got a set of mid 90's Cobra wheels on it now, and the car has a nice stance. I've also gotten a sweet X piped dual exhaust made for her as well, pretty quiet, but enough to know there is something under the hood.
390----So origional, it hurts to look at it!
What would you suggest as I build this car up?
Have the heads done (P&P, 3 angle)
Cam?
TOrque convertor?
Anything to do with the C6?
It's got discs btw, and stops suprisingly well for the boat that it is.
Anyhow, thats all for now. Excuse the long winded post, but please see my enthusiasm. I know it's now a 428 cobra, or Torino, but it's what I've got to play with. Help me play the right way.
Rgds,
Theo Aftonomos |
