    Hello my name is
    « on: August 23, 2006 - 01:29:03 AM »
    Hello my name is John and I am a ford guy (I'm on a twelve step program)  :roflsmiley:

    I have always been a car guy but I have never owned an older muscle car so I'm looking at different chassis and the thing you can do to them.

    What I love the most are classics that have new age stuff adapted to them (ie: like full OBD2 compliant engine swaps  :droolingbounce: )

    Am I in the right place ?


    I am totaly in love with Challengers and Cudas, they are really sweet looking and are harder to come by than other cars you see on the road like mustangs and camaro's, chevelles.

    That is what I like about them, the lines are extremely sexy.

    The thing I like less about them is that the backside of the medal is nobody I know knows much about them.

    Hopefuly this forum will change that.


    If you guys know some threads about modern powerplants being shoehorned into them, let me know.

    2. You must watch Vanishing Point 12 times
    3. A Cuda or Challenger is a great investment
    4. Chicks love Cuda's
    5. You will win many awards at car shows.
    6. People will always ask you if you want to sell it.
    7. You must take lots of pics and post them.
    8. Ford people are jealous.
    9. You may be asked to use your car in a movie or commercial.

    Welcome to the site, Jfman! :wave:  Here's a post showing some pics of a '74 'Cuda with a 416 (stroker 340) who's running fuel-injection...and twin-turbos. :grinyes: :drool:  I found the post, but the photos have been lost. (server upgrades, etc.)  Here's the link just to give you an idea of what he used for the FI system: http://www.cuda-challenger.com/cc/index.php?topic=15707.0

    Welcome to the site. Hope you get through the steps and find a nice Cuda or challenger. Most of us have owned other muscles cars besides Cuda and Challengers but once you try one it's hard to ever go back to the others.
