I know whats wrong with the sensor. basically when my grandmother had the tires in her car replaced the shop she went to screwed up the sensors and broke em i think. Really this thread was only of general inquiry on who i would take it too.

I got a nice list of engines. Some newer some classic. also this list isnt in a particular order
1. 225 Slant Six. This engine has so much potential in it. The thing was damn near bullet proof.
2. 426 Hemi.
3. 3800 v6. Same as the slant six so durable and could be modified to make a ton of horsepower.
4. Subaru EJ Engines. They always had crappy gas mileage but what they lacked in that they made up for raw power in a light package.
5. Toyota 1JZ. these things was awesome in drifting cars and good for drag racing to.I got a nice list of engines. Some newer some classic. also this list isnt in a particular order

I’ve also preferred when it came to doing connections with wires to use a flat tip in my Soldering iron. The reasons being you could rest the tip on wire and it would heat up a whole lot faster.
Though it isn’t a real concern since Eric’s shop is big though in smaller shops you should also use a fume extractor.

[quote=”EricTheCarGuy” post=97893][quote=”crash0799″ post=97822]this video gave me some ideas, as far as other benchmark tests and other mods. for benchmark maby a slalom course or a road course maby both? as far as mods go, see what you can do to get better performance out of the strait 6. cheap things for example, better coil. spark plug wires. spark plugs, bigger carb (or jet the stock carb).you could remove the smog system. maby if you are feeling energetic, port and polish the head, or at least smooth it out a little, after all the head gasket does leak and the head has to come off to fix it(if you want to go that far). cheap simple things without going crazy and dumping thousands of dollars into it. after all you do want to swap the motor.
just a few ideas.[/quote]I’ve looked into a local road course. It’s a lot more involved and expensive. Also 3 hours away. Still considering it though.
I’m not keeping the 6. I’ve already worked out a plan for the car that I’ll reveal in a future video.
Thanks for the input.[/quote]
Are you talking about Mid-Ohio Eric? I know there is a short track at Kil-kare outside of Xenia (http://www.kilkare.com/)

Ya I would assume that the k member wouldnt fit a 5.0 engine. Though I wonder how far fetch it would be to pilfer one from a mustang or just get an aftermarket one?

I had a couple ideas to for the Fairmont. This car is begging for a Ford 5.0 engine. Since this is already a Fox body I do not think it would be that hard of a thing to do. The aftermarket for this engine is crazy to. Also if Eric wants this to be a drag car I think a Dana 60 rear end should be installed. I’ve never seen one go bad.
