Project "Not Yet a Cobra Jet"?

Joe Toller · 10-20-2013, 05:07 PM

I will get pics coming, I brought home an uglier 75 Comet 4dr for myself. My buddys car is a 6cyl, found out that swapping to a V8 costs a bit of cash (V8 Mav frame mounts are not cheap nor easy to find used), so he's on the hunt for those. I paid $200 (actually I traded, but that's scrap value for the car) for mine, and saved the electric fuel pump, fan, and water pump from my old build. Mine already has a running 302/2bbl and C4, plus a trak-lok and 3.00 gears. I am going to do a little cleaning up and change fluids, and drive it around a little, but won't touch anything else probably until spring, when I can baseline the car before changes.

I will start a new thread on it, and keep folks posted. I have a ton of parts credit from the wrecking yard, so I will see what low-buck goodies I can find.

Stay tuned!
