Fox wagon (Mercury Marquis) turbo action

[NC STANG GUY]

Just finished up my good friends 85' Mercury Marquis fox chassis wagon for him.
Was literally his grandparents wagon back in the day.
Basic tube K member,8.8 31 spline rear,306ci heads/cam/intake setup with a blowthrough carb and a On3 turbo setup. Running a C4 w/transbrake with large stall so it skews the dyno numbers somewhat. Made 538 rwhp/500 rwtq on pump gas at 14 psi. Car is a blast to drive. Can't wait to see some track #'s!

Any reason you went blow thru carb over EFI?

Just really a matter of what we had around to use and some cheap buys on other parts.
It may get swapped over to EFI at some point down the road.

Thanks for the compliments on the build. Just glad its done and back with Dylan in Nashville so he can enjoy it.

That's a bad ass build for sure. Definitely unique.

Extra brown for that authentic 80's look! Such a sleeper, throw the original rims on with a DR lol.

Hey everyone! That's my heap. What began as having the OP, Billy, finish wiring the nitrous system for me and swap out transmissions, ultimately snowballed. haha

Usually how it goes lol. Any other changes to the set up planned?

Yeah I kinda meant changes to the turbo/fuel set up.

I was implying that I don't plan on changing anything. Just driving it.
