    Bgoins12's "The Draggin' Waggin'"

    Ok, so here is my official project thread. Of course you know what it is... a '86 Country Squire LX.

    My plans right now -

    5.0 HO out of a '94 GT with 90k
    '88 GT Upper plenum, TB, EGR, and ECM
    Stock tubular manis off the '94 GT
    2.5" exhaust with H-Pipe...still not sure what mufflers I want.
    3.73 gearing
    Rear swaybar
    SN95 5 spoke 16" rims
    And POSSIBLY a clutch fan delete.

    Later on -

    GT40 heads
    Decent street cam
    Rockers & springs
    BBK headers
    Some kind of different intake, not sure yet.. will be MUCH later
    Custom tuned ECM
    Bigger radiator
    Rear disc brakes
    Built up wide ratio AOD w/shift kit
    and maybe some better gears

    Pics as of a few days ago -

        Does your wagon have air-suspension?

          Did... the shocks were shot so I ripped all the stuff out yesterday, and I'm either putting regular shocks in or some aftermarket air shocks.

            Well, as expected, the engine is frickin' shot. I pulled the intake off and found this -




            Needless to say, I am glad I am getting a ultra clean '94 HO engine. I knew something wasn't right when I pulled the plugs, and found 2 of them were oil fouled and caked with oil goop.

            On the bright side the car should be back up and running the 5th or 6th of June. Then shortly thereafter the 3.73s, Steeda cam and 2200 stall will be going in, and much later on there will be a MAF conversion and a few other things.
