Another build thread? Yep, my track-style T

[J. Robinson]

The 2300 Ford (Pinto / Ranger) engines are pretty pricey around here because of the race tracks nearby. That is the engine of choice among the ministock crowd. For sure, there is no shortage of performance parts, though.

Looks like the S-10 engine & trans may "fall in my lap" in exchange for some work on another car. If so, I will go ahead and use it. I like the idea of the Mercruiser engine and it would be a pretty simple swap later to go from the GM 2.5 to the Mercruiser.

I have attached a pic of the springs I am using. This is a kit that is designed to be used on a Honda Civic. The pic isn't real clear, but you can see the adjuster sleeves, etc. I will fabricate the spring buckets for these and the shocks will mount through the center of the springs.
