The First Wide Small Car

Anyone remember the advertisement for the AMC Pacer^^^?
77" wide with a 100" wheelbase? Well, between the advert, Wayne's World: Attachment 65330 And well, this advert: Attachment 65331 Project Pacemaker was born. Attachment 65332 It'll take a lot of stiffening to get it to lateral-g standards, but should be pretty fun. L76 and 6L80 going in. Attachment 65335 Fits Like a glove! Attachment 65336 Attachment 65333 Attachment 65334 Oh and who would've guessed it... this fits!!! (well... except the hood) Attachment 65337 Attachment 65338 Can anyone say sleeper?!?! Planning a Ford 8.8 out back, and some boxed areas between the subframe/rockers. Don't plan on running anything too sticky out back, so we're not planning a full cage as of yet. |
Very cool! Good luck with the build, I'll be following for sure.

Yep. I'm with Jarhead, I love the dare to be different motif. You could have a real blast with this, like what'll be on the license plate... FSH BOWL? Or PACE STR (Pace Setter), or FAT BUTY, or ... :lol: Have fun, looking forward to seeing it unfold!

Small update... having a tough time with pictures from my phone, I’ll try to upload more when I’m around a computer. I’ve changed focus a number of times in the last couple years as to whether I should be dumping $$$ into project cars or actually putting it toward something that’ll see a positive ROI:lmao:... but this project has remained (surprise, no one wants a torn apart Pacer) and it has progressed very slowly. Moved into a different place with a bit more shop space (nothing too fancy, but it’s nice to not cram 3 cars in a 2.5 car garage anymore!
Anyway, recent progress is getting me motivated again. I’ve installed a new rear axle (Ford 8.8 out of an explorer) with all new rear suspension. Ran a new fuel system and all new brake lines. I also found a ‘big’ (only 12”) disc brake kit to replace the drums on the Pacer. Who would’ve guessed someone makes a brake kit for Pacers?!?! Attachment 71208 Attachment 71209 Attachment 71210 I’ve also patched the floor pans, as well as built mounts for the radiator and heat exchanger and acquired a set of wheels and tires. Now it’s time to commit to the Supercharger, and what better way than hacking a hole in the hood? Attachment 71207 Up next I’m doing a budget DOD delete with an ls9 cam and PAC 1218 springs. Then I’m going to work on final engine installation/assembly, plumbing lines, and running wires. I’ll need to trim the hood more for the fuel rail and am leaning toward building a cowl style hood bulge to hide the S/C lid. Gotta get this one buttoned up so i can focus on bigger and better things! |
Javelin/AMX Ram Air
A Javelin/AMX Ram Air hood buldge may be enough to clear the blower and would look "correct"...
