I think I'm done fabricating the pipes and this is a final mock-up to double check everything. The pipes are all pai… 1981 Ford LTD - The box at the end of fabrication. It has fine thread 1/4" bolts here but it took forever to get them out and in so I later welded in some… 1981 Ford LTD - Cold side piping on the drivers side. The two pipes on the right head down to the filter box in the drivers side fender. 1981 Ford LTD - Cold side piping, passenger side. They clear the battery nicely. I need to move it to the trunk, and add a shorter pipe to a second filter… 1981 Ford LTD - The AC compressor bracket held the tensioner for the smog pump. It didn't anything anymore but I wanted to keep it as stock as possible so… 1981 Ford LTD - Passenger side header and turbo unit showing the relationship between these parts on the car. You can't actually put it on like this but th… 1981 Ford LTD - Almost done on the drivers side. I haven't made the strap to support the back of the down pipe yet and it's not painted. 1981 Ford LTD - Drivers side with the straps welded on and drying on the garbage can. 1981 Ford LTD - Passenger side all done and ready to install. You can't get it in as a unit but it goes like this in the car. 1981 Ford LTD - Almost ready to run. The coil is still loose so I'm not completely ready. 1981 Ford LTD - See the cold side pipes disappear into the fender? I built a custom box to hold a 8"x16" panel filter. Later I moved to pod filters on each… 1981 Ford LTD - I made that battery hold down also. Later I moved the battery to the trunk. Which works a lot better. The old battery tray was in sad shape. 1981 Ford LTD - All fits under the stock hood! I've painted it since this pic. 1981 Ford LTD - Oval exhaust tips. I liked these when I made them but I'm not happy with the side exhaust anymore. I lose ground clearance and they get pre… 1981 Ford LTD - See there is a Holley in the box. I've added braided stainless -8 lines to replace the 3/8 hose in this pic. I also added a K&N stub stack.… 1981 Ford LTD - I made this box to hold a stock late model Camaro panel filter. It got wet in the rain so I added a shield. 1981 Ford LTD - Bottom view of the filter in the box. That filter got wet and sucked into the pipes. 1981 Ford LTD - Fabbing the box. I haven't drilled the holes for the throttle cable, the transmission cable, the vacuum lines, or even the boost tubes. 1981 Ford LTD - One very complicated box it took three cardboard versions to get it right. Only about a day to make it though. It has exploded three times.… 1981 Ford LTD - Here you can see down to the filter in the box. 1981 Ford LTD - Okay, here's how the car sits as of 9-30-07.

I bought 16x8 rims so I could use the drag ra… 1981 Ford LTD - A week after the paint some kid driving his parents car without permission and with no sleep for two days side swiped me. I called the cops… 1981 Ford LTD - The two headlight cars look menacing from the front. Way better than your grandfathers four headlight wagon. 1981 Ford LTD - See the custom wire separators I made? Keep the wires out of the headers. Also see the MSD 6A and BTM. No more paint on the headers. 1981 Ford LTD - Working on the carb box. Need to add pipe stubs for the blow off valves, and reroute the fuel lines. See the y-block for the -8 fuel lines,… 1981 Ford LTD - I made myself some wire separators. Ok, so the plastic ones you can buy are less than $30. These cost me about $10, not much of a savings b… 1981 Ford LTD - First time starting in over two years!Video 1981 Ford LTD - Aluminum sheet heat shield for the passenger side air intake. Not that complex of a shape. 1981 Ford LTD - The Saab relay box mounted to the Taurus fan. Pretty clean I think. 1981 Ford LTD - Engine compartment as of April 2014. I'm just flushing the cooling system right here. 1981 Ford LTD - Scanned service manual page describing the shoulder-harness inertia retractor with a line-drawing figure.
