Mr Stewart Posted January 27, 2022 Report Posted January 27, 2022 I've had the awsome bag of bolts sense May of last year. Currently I have Mr George Asche building me a 265 engine hopped up a little and an overdrive 3pd trans. I'm new to actually talking in forum's. I've always just read them lol. I have a ton of questions about this car.... So far I have had a best time tinkering with it.. I have the body off right now. Cleaned and Por15 the frame. Got the original engine and trans out. Right now while I'm waiting on the engine and trans swapping an 8.8 explorer rear end In it. Already swapped the front to disc.. 1 Quote
Mr Stewart Posted January 27, 2022 Author Report Posted January 27, 2022 I've got the swap 8.8 setting under the frame and have the perches tightened up with just the ubolts. My question is. I have the explorer sway bar and the explorer factory traction bars... has anybody used these? Another question the factory Trac bar on the original rear axle.. I 've not heard anybody mention this when they talk about swaps. Is it re used? And on the swap bar if used what kind of links did they use? Quote
Mr Stewart Posted January 27, 2022 Author Report Posted January 27, 2022 I doing reading also on how bad the wiring would deteriorate over time. So I'm also rewiring the entire car. Found a hot rod kit with 22 or 21 circuits. Switching ît over to 12 volt while I do it. Quote
Bryan Posted January 27, 2022 Report Posted January 27, 2022 Looks nice. Got any pics of the interior? Quote
DonaldSmith Posted January 27, 2022 Report Posted January 27, 2022 I see it's the somewhat rare Town Sedan, with the rear doors hinged at the front, like modern cars. Quote
