hi.

[88lxbrian]

I hear this is where all the fun is at. So I had to come by and check it out.

I usually go by brian88lx but someone already registered that userid. :mad:

Anyways, most of you I know off of MM.

I drive a metallic blue 1988lx hatchback. As of right now, I am a part of jackstand racing, but hopefully this summer I will be able to finish my 351w stroker conversion. Just torqued down the new heads on Monday. ;)

Very nice ride! What size 351w?

[88lxbrian]

Thanks, I appreciate it.

well, its a 393w stroker kit but I have it bored over a few thousands so its around 400ci i assume.

[99SVTAddict]

Looks good and sounds like it will be a mean car when the motor is done.

[88lxbrian]

Yeah, thats the goal. I got a nice custom ground cam with some lift so it should at least sound mean ;)

[99SVTAddict]

Cool. Too bad they don't make a set of bump sticks for the 4V modulars that would give it that loopey sound.

[88lxbrian]

I just expect to hear the whine of a s/c on a 4v ;)

[99SVTAddict]

I thought the whine on my V2SQ model was cool...until I heard CobraFreaks V1 blower. That thing sounds like a jet. :evil:

BTW, are you East or West side?

[88lxbrian]

I live in Dearborn for the time being. I usually just head up to the 50's McDonalds on the weekend, live right by there.

[357windsor]

Wow that things gonna fly when it's done.Maybe one day I'll get my shit together! :D

[88lxbrian]

Im switching from an EFI setup to carb so hopefully I can get it tuned up corectly. I have an lm1 so a/f readings shouldnt be a problem.

Should be fun running n/a. I wont have to have my tune on kill like my 302 s/c setup.

[silverknight]

brain, i live out in dearborn heights.. basically tele and joy... well, joy and hazelton.
i usually go out to the 50s in my taurus, but havnt been up there in a bit. hopefully ill have my caddy driveable by end of summer so i can take it out there.
