66 fastback project

[runningriot]

Here is a little info on my car, enjoy! Let me know what you think.

Bought my 66 fastback when I was 15, it was my first car believe it or not. Nightmist blue 66 fastback 2+2. The original 289 was long gone when I got it. It had a 1970 302 2bbl in it when I got it and it didn’t last that long afterwards because the oil pump failed.

Then



Now
This is the most current picture I have of the engine bay.


87 GT 5.0 roller block with complete rebuild
Trick Flow stage one cam
New dual timing chain and gear
Cran's 1:6 Roller Rockers
Edelbrock Air-Gap intake
Edelbrock 500cc 4 barrel carb
Tri-Y headers
Rebuild 93 GT-40 heads
8mm wires
Flowmaster exhaust 40 series
Aluminum Cobra air cleaner
3" tall Cobra valve covers
3 core radiator
Moroso front sump oil pan


power brakes
dual master cylinder
CSRP disc brake kit
all new front suspension



Replaced the edelbrock with a Holley 650 double pumper. 10-12mpg!




added Raydot mirrors recently too


I recently finished up the Shelby drop, installed high performance coil springs and the Shelby quick steer kit. With the new springs and the drop itself, the car handles so much better. Really happy with the stance. Before I left to go back to college, the front seems to have settled at a good 2" drop.

After



Sorry, dirty car.


Need your input. I'm want to put a 9" rear in the car and while I do that I want to redo the rear suspension. I'm leaning towards installing either a Heidts 4 link or a total control products g-bar. Thoughts on either setup or stick with leaf springs?
