Project "Payback"

No worries Todd. After RTTC and an Elvis experience, you'll be back in the garage with more ideas.

The trans is the next major change. I'm trying to be patient. I heard noise of a TKO 600 Magnum. Who knows when and if.... I almost pulled the trigger on a Liberty modded Tko 600 but he wouldn't give me free shipping.

Good stuff Todd, curious to see how you like those Hypercoils.

Before I drop the car on all fours, I am making two other tweaks. Mounting everything solid on these cars sounds great until you drive one. Solid body mounts, solid shock mounts, solid engine mounts, solid steering knuckles, heim joints,etc.

As you know I've already started the next project and the I have been going back and 4th on body mounts. I already know that i am going poly on the engine and Ride Tech's suspension. My concern has been the solid mounts for a daily driver.

My question is would you still do the solid mounts on the body ?

Awesome stuff Todd. I hope those Hypercoils work out for you.
Good luck.

Once you weld the subframe connectors to the body, you really have no choice. (DSE) That being said, I'd take a completely different approach to a daily driver than I have with a cross breed.

Todd, what are the primary things that you'd change? I just picked up a project I want to be able to drive almost daily so I'm all ears for advice too. I know your engine shakes the earth and could probably open up fault lines, which depending on your likes might not make it ideal, but what else would you not put on a driver, solid mounts, a 4pt cage, etc?

Other than the engine combo our cars are fairly similar and I think the only thing that would keep me from driving it everyday (aside from worrying about leaving it in parking lots) would be the noise. I feel like I've stepped off an eight our flight after driving it for a couple hours.
