After a most successful semester in Loyola, time to come home. The Christmas season was very pleasant and I hope y'all enjoyed the holidays as well. Now that I'm back: what to do next????
My dad came up with the idea of doing something major to the car while I would be away for the spring semester. When I come back, it would be ready for me.
I start talking to many different people about what I can do next. Engine? Performance? Interior/Exterior? Cosmetics? I decided that, like Ricky Bobby, I want to go fast! I have headers, intake manifold, and new valve covers that's a pretty good start. After listening to many different options from: bringing the engine back to stock, getting a 5.0 engine to replace, or turn the current engine into something special. I choose to keep the original engine (for originality factor) and make it something special.
I have also been interested in upgrading the transmission. The goal is to achieve better gas mileage and do better on the highway, and possibly handle new power. I was interested in the idea of a AOD Transmission, a 4-Speed automatic. It would take some slight modification to fit but it can work.
Looks like everything planned out but I know that I could improve the car without spending lots of money.
