Righty 0 Posted August 25, 2007 There's also the Kenny Brown supercharged windstar too bad he only made one And I'm having withdrawal from driving. I haven't actually driven anywhere since last wednesday Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Urbanoutlaw 12 Posted August 26, 2007 Windstar is kinda based off of the Taurus. So yes, same engine and transaxles. The only thing is the Split Port Induction intake manifold won't fit under the hood of a 96-07 Taurus Unless you want to chop up your hood. If you're talking 3.8, the intake off a '00 Mustang should work nicely. Saw one recently w/ the top half of the manifold off, looked like one of the wild set-ups from the '50s or early '60s for 6 2-bbl carbs. For myself, I prefer the 3.0 in a Taurus. Surprisingly powerful & a LOT more room to work on them on the few occasions they need it. This is from putting a transaxle in a 3.8 Taurus. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Righty 0 Posted August 27, 2007 It's still fun to change the spark plugs on the 3.0. You have to position yourself so you are above the engine. After I changed the plugs the car wouldn't run for some reason. Apparently I forgot that I unhooked the IAC and TPS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Urbanoutlaw 12 Posted August 28, 2007 Try a V-6 Chevy Lumina. You need an engine hoist to get the rear plugs. I presume you got it running? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Righty 0 Posted August 30, 2007 Yep. That was back in July. But it gave us quite a scare at the time. Would it be the 3.1 lumina? I love the sound the 3.1 makes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kitsune Inferno 22 Posted September 15, 2007 BUMP. To all those who still think the Bugatti Veyron is the fastest production car, think again. The SSC Aero broke the record 2 days ago at a blazing 255.83 MPH! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sherman 40 Posted September 16, 2007 I got new wheel covers for the accord and they look rather nice. Woooo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
K9 Krew 8 Posted September 16, 2007 Well we just had the Targe West Rally in my estate, and 2 Porches rolled over and a Ferrari Smashed into a tree, lucky no one was injured. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jace 12 Posted September 20, 2007 BUMP.To all those who still think the Bugatti Veyron is the fastest production car, think again. The SSC Aero broke the record 2 days ago at a blazing 255.83 MPH! 0-60 mph time of just 2.78 seconds Sloooow. The car is ugly too, and probably not as comfortable as the Veyron cause they want to save wait and stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sherman 40 Posted September 20, 2007 So I'm wanting a 3rd gen trans am with a 350. And keep the accord. Good combination? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Urbanoutlaw 12 Posted September 20, 2007 Pull that Chevy 350 & put a Pontiac 400 (which is what SHOULD be in a Firebird) in it. By 3rd generation, I presume you mean '82 & up? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sherman 40 Posted September 20, 2007 '82 - 92, yep. Rather the later years. And are you encouraging me to kill myself or something? Mild rebuild, headers / exhaust and some decent cams.. I think it'll be plenty quick for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Urbanoutlaw 12 Posted September 20, 2007 And are you encouraging me to kill myself or something? No, never. just encouraging you to put it together the way it should've been built in the first place. I'll take a '73-'81 w/ a 400 & a six-pack intake w/ a 5-speed, black. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sherman 40 Posted September 20, 2007 Hah, I couldn't afford gas in that thing. I couldn't even do the T/A... that's why I'd keep the honda. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
