Post pics of your other "toys" and interests
Now we have an off topic forum...... what are your other interests?
Myself, I am into fishing, camping, boating, computers and any kind of outdoor festival. Here's some pics of my project boat, a 16' Baja undergoing a full restoration:

I love that car, or the motor actually! Impressive stuff guys! But wait till you see my monster! That's right, lifted golf cart! It can go pretty much anywhere ATV's can go. And fit two comfortably. And I had to include my brother's truck. Them firefighters sure do make some good money. They deserve it though.

RE: Post pics of your other "toys" and interests
Thanks the motor is a bit different now.. I ended up changing out the cam to a bigger one. It had a solid flat tappet but decided to go full roller. Car was originally running all motor.. the blower was an add on so thats why I changed the cam to a better one for the job..Also changed intake manifold.. haven't made it back to the track yet with the new internals and new rear end gears.. hope to break it into the 10's this year.. Last year made a few runs and had a few inter-cooler pipe clamps blow off so had some slow 12.4 runs.. took care of all that at the track and made another run this time the couplings stayed and she ran an 11.80 at 122mph with ease.. Went for another run this time 3/4 track the alternator belt flew off and took out the supercharger belt.. had to let off.. Still managed an 11.83 at 111mph... That was with the old internals and the 342 gears.. I think with the set-up I have now I can get my high 10 mark.. Will have to see...

Hopefully there's two pictures of me and my other obsession....
It's an '04 Yamaha R1. Bit of a hoot, quite quick, use it mainly off road only these days as the roads are getting just too dangerous in the UK for my liking.

Love the stangs...
More specifically the '70 ragtop... looks sweet!
Mine was a 68 Coupe Limegold Metallic with 289 and C-4 Automatic. Last summer while working on it I found the original color of the dash was Brittany Blue with Ivy Gold Interior, which makes this a true flower power car. The car was painted flat black with a brush and roller inside and out by the previous owner. The 289's #1 Piston tried to exit out the side of the block. Still has the original styled steel wheels.
The whole front end is apart so I can change the motor. Please excuse the missing grill.

after I'd finished both stangs,the red one overheated on the guy,head to replace head gasket and there was two broken heads bolts on each side of the heads.after fixing the red 89 the 70 oil blew out of the dipstick tube=blowby big time!! Some guy who'd owned the car before but a 4 barro carb on a two barro motor and didnt change the cam! he'd got a friend to rebuilt the motor for him.[8D]I'd told him to get a 351 cleveland for it,they kick serious butt!!Talk about bad luck for the guy! Get two of his stangs painted and both motor take a poo on him.I'd told him the stangs got jellious at eack other!LOL want attion. Oh I have a pics with my red outfit with the89 red stang that just about matched it.Yes that me acting goofy with the 89 red stang.Also I like to make leather,vinyl and pvc bike chic outfits,gothic and wild one too! Oh Yeahracing I do have the template to put the ram air hole into your hood on your stang,if your interested in it?

with that motor and 4:10 you can stil run on the street. ive been in many many cars with 4:10 gears and 4:11 gears on the street cruisin the highway at 60-65mph a touch under 3000 rpm. most had th350 trannies though, a few had th400 tranies.
that year is that malibu? friend of mine just put a 80 together with a 355 sbc with a th350 trans and a 9 inch.

must have a 28" tall or so tire on them. My convertable mustang will cruise 60 at just over 3000 with 3.55's and a 26" tire in 4th gear (1:1). Great alternative is the Motive 3.90 gears... not sure if they have em for a 10/12 bolt though.
45deep...tell your buddy he shoulda put a 8.8 in it, weighs less, will take more then that 355 will ever be able to put out. 1.25 60' times in a 3400lbs car = alot of power, with a little ol 8.8 out back [8D]

RE: Post pics of your other "toys" and interests
he had the 8.8 and blew it, motor alone puts otu over 600hp without the dal stage plate shot he has on it. car also runs a 28 inch tall tire.
i had 3:73 with 26x10.5 mickey thompson sportsman pros on my 79 camaro and it did abotu 3000 at 65mph. car was a little rough for daily drivin with a 3200-3500 rpm stall converter in it and the cam i had. wasnt bad though. use to make corvette guys very angry when my primer 79 used to waste them from a 50mph roll to about 135mph. my speedo hit 120 and i could peg it and still pull hard for a good 30 seconds.
been doin drag stuff for quite soem time, also helped in soem engine replacements and rebuilds in a few big money muscle cars. best i ever did was a 69 pontiac judge gto, numbers matching liberty blue. amazing car.
didnt notice i had typed camaro instead of pontiac
