A friend and I washed and waxed our vehicles Wednesday and went out that evening and got a few pictures. I've dabbled in photography off and on a little, so I took the pics. However, even as little as I know, the camera was definitely the limiting factor given the conditions. It was dark, and I'm using an OLD digital camera. At a ISO setting of 400 it's going to be grainy period, and it was so dark the shudder speed had to be so slow most of the pics were blurry. But we chalked it up to mostly getting a good idea of what are good angles and such. A few of them didn't turn out too bad, especially when they're resized while uploading them to photobucket.






My car is the 1995 2-door Cherokee, and my friend's is a 1988 T-bird with the 5.0 that's been converted to the HO.

Am I the only one who thinks it would be hilarious if someone made those look like famous cartoons?

Beautiful. What kit and drivetrain did you use?

Holy cow, that's beautiful! I want one of those! :D

What is that, a Superformance? Doesn't look like a Factory 5 to me.

Thanks for the comments! It's a Factory Five. The engine is a 340HP Ford Racing 302. I spent so much extra time on the small things to bring it to, and in some respects beyond, the level of the Superformance. It was a labor of love. You can check out the entire build on my buildpage if you care to:

The Foothills Mall. I had my Galaxie in a couple of shows there a few years ago. I know it well as I pass by it often. My sister lives about a half mile from there. Plus I spend a lot of time on the Dragon. I did the Foothills Parkway/Dragon/Cherohala Skyway loop just a week ago.

Jeep upgrades/projects start after this motor is back in and running.

That's just gross. Bad oil? Overheated? What's that engine out of? I don't know my DOHC V6s. Nissan?

looks like the oil was never changed.

Nice job, though. It looks 100x better!

I bought the car with a known bad motor, '01 Dodge Stratus. The motor is a 2.7L, 24 valve, DOHC. Three of the rod bearings were toast and of coarse the rods were trashed as well. Since the rods are Fractured Rods no one makes aftermarket replacements but I found 3 off Ebay for $66 delivered to my door. So far I've got less than a grand in the motor and hopfully I can shoehorn everything back together this weekend.

The heavy sludge build up is not from neglect or lack of maintenence, or even using Pennzoil. Take a look at the pic that shows the crank and timing chain. See the gear above the crankshaft? Thats the waterpump....inside the engine. Guess what happens when you mix coolant and oil in a functional engine......only one guess per customer.


I didn't know about this problem until after I bought the car, but for $700 it's still a decent deal. The mileage on the odometer when it final gave up the ghost was 98k.


BTW, it's a Mitsubishi Motor.
