Yep, been on TCCoA for a while. I'm going to drive the 95 until I can save up some extra cash then just do the Explorer swap. For what all I have to change just to run PI heads its almost easier, plus like you said then I drop 200lbs. I think I can pretty much clear any intake w/ the Cobra R hood on it. Had given thought to S/C it as well.
The trans is out of an 01 Marquis and I drug it up to Indy one year to have Darrin go through it and put it all back together. Tore it down to the case, hot tanked and rebuilt in a day. All I have to do is stick the VB in it.
It does have trac control on it but I can just dump it. I'd like to get a 3.73 TL in it at some point and get a set of Kooks long tubes. I'd love to have Dave build me something but he may just be out of my price range at the moment, lol.. The only good thing I have going is that the wife really likes the car still even after the accident so she may not balk at some mods too awfully bad. Of course having a 3yr old takes a good chunk of mod money away. I'm working on the wallet-delete mod
The bird WILL be back on the road at some point. Hopefully by next year.
