Foxy Green Foxbody Build

I think I have purchased 5 sets of lifters from Crower so far, they are packed in the same kind of cardboard box. Not once did I ever have to clean them. It would have been easy enough since they are solid rollers. When I get titanium retainers from PAC they pack them in a nice soft foam, none of them can touch each other, I was always impressed. But damn, for the cost of them they should pack them nicely!

Have bought a lot of shit from PAC, like a fucking LOT, never had an issue.

I can't imagine those being worth a fuck.

Never know, my brother's stock suspension 91 would hook in the rain on n2o, running 12.2 back then but still.
I know you said it didn't pull as hard as you expected last year either but.....timing and carb can do a lot 🤞

Should be on ice skates, even with a stock five oh.


One thing at a time. Figure out the lifters, move onrward.



If it makes you feel any better, I just spent 5k on a dodge 1 ton rear diff that was supposed to be bolt on and go.

Until I pulled the cover off and seen rusty as fuck ring and pinion.

Nobody cares, as long as the payment processed...

That lifter shit would've pissed me off, yeah they will clean up, but it's the principle.

My buddy in high school got a 90ish notch. He came and got me at a party to go do some burn outs. I couldn't make that friggin thing spin and that was with the shitty street tires 35 years ago, lol
 
Chia lifters?
I'd be making some phone calls and getting some replacements
 
I've never seen Chia lifters on TV. Are they another of those micro-green Chia pets?
 
Johnsons are made in the USA and perhaps packaged by the Chinese into Chinese boxes.

Stick car though?

If I can't pop the clutch and spin a tire in a stick car, then I'm just gonna give up on this life..

Yes, it was a 5 speed, all factory.
My 83 gt with the MT street R drag radials with 600hp and 500ft/lbs will not spin if I nail it WOT at a crawl (not dumping the clutch) with 20 psi in them and factory suspension other than moroso front springs and 90/10 struts

Edit: I should clarify I'm bragging about the tires, not the car, any other tires were as you said, on skates, lol.

i have a nice set of lunati hyd rollers for an engine im doing, each body has that plastic protection netting around them, in a cardboard slot, in a card board box.

you know, if they where solids you could just shoot some brake clean through the hole....
 
Last year I put a upper facia panel on this nova in my avatar. It's a plastic panel that goes between the front bumper and core support.

Paid like 300 for the plastic piece of shit, and another 400 to paint it in the period correct arctic silver or whatever the fuck it's called color.


Walked out last week to see the plastic cracked to shit. Made it a whole year.

Thanks jegs and OEM parts.

I could go on and on.

But I hope you understand the point, fox.


My money flushes down the drain, just as easily as yours does.
 
I bought 12" calipers to test if I needed new pushrod length.

Old pushrods 7.75
New setup is .030 shorter lifter cup height (7.720 pushrod would be ideal)

A) buy 7.70" and send it.
B) buy 7.75" and send it.

I need to buy a complete set regardless as trick flow doesn't sell these as singles and I don't do simple shit like buy a different manufacturer and mix em
 
I'll add that the sweep seems a little wide so maybe going the 7.70" would tame that a bit
