I've been hammering on my suspension and drivetrain and some other odds and end for the past month or two. I'm curious as to what you guys would do next if you were in my shoes. I'm trying to get the most out of my suspension while keeping it streetable. This car is my weekend cruiser and it is occasionally driven to school and work. Here's my entire list of mods (I know that somethings on here have not added power or performance, but I'm just copying and pasting it from my list on my computer, I also may have left some smallerstuff out).

-Custom Built Edge Racing 3000 rpm torque converter
-B&M transmission cooler
-Baumann AOD ReCal kit w/ sonnex boost valve (hard shifts, shift points set at 5500 rpms)
-Bronze TV cable bushing
-TrickFlow Street Heat upper and lower intake manifolds
-TrickFlow Stage 1 Camshaft
-TrickFlow Valve Spring Upgrade Kit
-Ford Racing Hydraulic Roller Lifters
-Summit Racing Timing Chain and Gears
-Slightly Ported and Polished Stock Heads
-Summit Racing Adjustable Shift Light
-Kirban Adjustable Fuel Pressure Regulator
-BBK 70mm Throttle Body
-K&N panel filter
-aluminum tube between MAF and throttle body
-Pro-M 75mm MAF
-MAC 1 5/8" unequal length shorty headers
-MAC 2.5" off road h-pipe
-MAC 2.5" Flowpath catback with 3" tips
-MAC underdrive pullies
-MSD cap/rotor
-Taylor Spiro-Pro plug wires
-MSD Blaster TFI coil
-3.90 gears
-3 row radiator
-Strange Engineering 10 way adjustable shocks and struts
-Maximum Motorsports XL series full length subframes (going to be installed within the next couple of weeks)
-Summit upper/lower tubularrear control arms
-Ford Racing C springs in the rear
-Eibach drag springs in the front
-Removed front swaybay (saves weight and increases weight transfer during the launch)
-Nitto 555r drag radials (245/50/16's)
-Hunsaker Vinyl Synkros in Black Vinyl (seats)

I am going to be ordering some battle boxes next. I really don't want to have to replace those any time soon, it doesn't seem like a fun job at all! Also a tubular K-member mightcome some time in the future, but not now so we'll leave that out of the question. But what comes after that? I'd really like to keep hacking on my suspension and drivetrain but I think I'm starting to run out of stuff. I think that this set up is going to give me an awesome 60' time when I head down to the track again this season. But anyways, I want everyone's input on this one!

Thanks for catching that Stinkin! I want your 331! I'd bet that your car is a hell of a lot of fun to drive.

94StinkinLincoln

yeah it will be! i got the auto teacher from my school to help me put by engine together tuesday!!! im so happy!!!! i will atleast get the pistons in and maby the heads and some other stuff. sry to take ur post lol

frdmstng1986GT

hmmmm...sounds and lookslike you are ready for some heads and a intake.

94StinkinLincoln

well the only things you can really do now are heads, s/c, turbo, or nos...u got alot done to it! very nice!

92hatchLX

I've already got an intake, look in the list . Anyways, I've contemplated heads and it has led to thinking about other things. After I get all of this suspension stuff done I think that I'm going to try and save up 1500-2000 dollars this summer and take care of something costly. Either heads, ablower or astronger tranny. I'm kind of leaning towards a stronger tranny before I go adding anymore power, I know that the AOD will hold it, but for how long?

94StinkinLincoln

yeah im worring about the tranny now...so many choices...the manual vb is sounding better...

stangman94

Aluminum Drive shaft you dont have that.

I'm thinking about a manual valve body too it sounds so good but suspension first I think

I thought about the aluminumD/S but@ 250 bucks they justwant too much for them. I just decided to spend $10 on new u-joints and called it good.
