10 sec. 318?
I was going to trow a set of air shocks in for some fun to get the rear end up and looking good, possibly a set of traction bars or something at some point\
You see…… That is the typical stuff done by a young guy in a first build. It is pointless, a mistake and flushing money down the toilet.
This is why several of us have told you to form a plan then build to that plan.
Many people have had big dreams (like a first build daily driver that runs 10s). In the end they spend a bunch of money on crap that doesn't work and have a car that is the definition of half-***.
They end up frustrated and drive a mini-van for the rest of their lives.
We have a kid on here (wish I could find the thread)…… Anyway.. He was 14 and his Dad got him a 74 Swinger. Father and son project done the right way. They kept is simple, working through the systems of the car, rebuilding the brakes, rebuilding the suspension…. All stock stuff.
They put some Cragers on it. Pumped up the engine (318 ) a bit with an intake, carb and cam. Redid the exhaust.
Now this car may not be a show winner but it is a cool ride that he built and it gave him one hell of an education.
By keeping it simple and learning the basics on his first build he avoided the frustration and loss and focused on the FUN! Now he can move onto bigger and better things when his budget allows.
