More updates this month, check it out. Chris Campbell is a buddy who's building a wicked Cougar. Cortex Racing and Kertz Fab are turning wrenches on it...I just hope it doesn't get LS power....
I see no issue with with LSx power. Those engines are hard to beat when evaluated on a power to weight to dollar matrix.I doubt it on the 5.0 but who knows. Cortez Racing are the guys really designing it and if you've ever checked out their website, that bad to the bone 65 Mustang with the huge flares, Griggs SLA, 3 link out back is believe it or not running a dry sump LS7. Bad car, makes me sick they're running GM power. The rational behind it is they can get big power, right out of the box, compact, light with an ECM. Plug and play performance. It's a cop out if you ask me since you can get turnkey motors from practically everywhere now, but who am I to judge....I'm building a British Ford after all.......
Actually it's not quite a true Cup Car engine since I wanted to stay away from all the unique parts, but it is an aluminum 438ci Clevor hybrid that uses last-gen NASCAR technology.You know, I don't know. I'm guessing FR9 seeing as you can buy them right off the Roush/Yates website. The older Cleavor's I would think are getting scarce and pricey. Guy had a set of bare C3's and a Roush GT manifold at Infineon and he wanted $1600. The historic stock car guys must be gobbling them up...
I've got the only Cougar specific Griggs torque for sale cheap if you want it. Max Effort has been swapped over to CoreX Racing's new truss style torque arm.But seriously thinking about doing the rear setup they have that was featured in PHR a couple months back...
What is this that you are talking about?I've got the only Cougar specific Griggs torque for sale cheap if you want it. Max Effort has been swapped over to CoreX Racing's new truss style torque arm.
Just a friendly FYI but those fender stripes are known as FIA stripes. They were first used on Shelby Cobras in the early '60s to differentiate the similarly painted team cars when they were out on the track and from a distance.I'm building a similar car to Max Effort, and in fact, I'm going to steal the concept slightly, black hood, trans am stripes on the fenders. My car is getting a Twin Turbo 408W, backed by a TKO 600 and I have Total Control Products coil overs all the way around, FAB 9 rear axle, rack and pinion steering, and AC.
