Sundown, Please keep us posted on this project. Final result will be sweetness. :D

[BerinG]

yeah i would love to see that too for 7000$ including engine 2001 GT for 2500$ is pretty cheap.. do you have a arrangement with the scrap yard to get all those parts and have had all those cars .. of course that is with all labor done by yourself.. for quite a while too

1979 Monza Spyder not Spider. I used to own a 74 Vega with a 283 even with a tired motor that thing was hairy. BBC musta been a handful, what with all the weight on the front.

[Sundown]

The 1977 vega had Truck Springs with 1 3/4 rings cut. This was my first car I drove. (well without anyone knowing) It was a rocket but got bored of it. It had a tendency to lift the front end to high and it got real scary quick!

I can't remember when I worked on my first car. maybe 1983-1984 I am 36 years old in 2 weeks, My father used to be a grease monkey for big Daddy Don Garletts on the salt flats back in the day (Early 60's Flat head fords). Kinda bread into me. My entire family Builds cars stock, drag 4X4 what ever, Dad build speacilty is Huffers and big ones at that. Me an my bro build and tune chassis I also handle Chip programing, Fuel injection management etc. Mind you we are not running a business to the public we just build these cars through word of mouth. We make some money that cover equipment tools etc but its the sheer enjoyment of building. I get crap from the old man talking about this stuff he likes to be low key. Old School Boy!!! Anyway we run out of Bellwood Ontario Canada if anyone is ever near here just ask at the Bellwood store for Mr Huffer and they will point you in the right direction.




Still looking for a Jackson racing kit for the wifes SVT Focus I won't pay more than $2400.00 Not worth it is only half a blower motor I have a small B&M from a small block chev to use. just not to sure about a sheet metal intake made by my dad he likes things too big!! Plus my wife drives it

If you here a loud noise like a car with open headers its too late we have already passed you!! (To the pump)


Hook Hard and Run straight!!!!!!!!

[Sundown]

As far as Spider goes ever car we build gets a name after all it is different.
I think were calling the V8 focus SPINNER

[TimmyD@Bishopsales]

Um we are a Steeda dealer and Im pretty informed with all the Focus parts that are produced and I dont believe that Steeda has anything available for a V8 conversion?? Im pretty sure I would have looked into this for my car if that was the case. LOL :lol:

Oh and I sooo want directions to your shop!! Id love to see all this stuff taking place! Thats a great list of some really cool cars!! Nice work, I want some pics please when this new project is done!
