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... 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?!?!

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?

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!

Default Javelin/AMX Ram Air

A Javelin/AMX Ram Air hood buldge may be enough to clear the blower and would look "correct"...
