So I figured I would make an official build thread for my 4 banger/Auto '89 Notch. Started to locate parts and stuff seems to be coming along good so far. I will take some pics and put them up soon.
Found a donor car with good grey interior to replace the porno red interior.
An '88 GT rearend with 3.73's.
LSC 5 lug swap.
Will be doing nearly full suspension and a cage.
Found a good '71 351 block, still unsure of if I am going with this and building it or buying a shorblock from CHP, DSS, or maybe fordstrokers?
The car will be 80-90% drag oriented, looking for low 10's-high 9's with decent street manners. Unsure if I will keep the p/s or not, but a/c is going away.
I do have a question though, I am undecided as to go with a built AOD or a C-4. What are the pro's and cons of each?
Woudl also like to stay efi if possible.
Feel free to offer up opinions and advice. I am really looking forward to this and am expecting it to take about a year and a half to complete.
