>>28504375
Yeah. Gets even better if you tune the damn things right. Remember, all the carbed engines from '73 onwards are tuned like shit to pass smog
The fords in particular have a fucked up timing gear, put on a '70 set and you get anywhere from 20-30 additional hp

>>28504382
We have to go back! Cars must return!

>>28504385
Yes.

The 255 v8 so many of these have are essentially unsalvageable bricks. I suppose a cam would do something but I hear only the stock heads+valves fit thanks to the tiny bores. Of course the head is essentially unportable too, lol

>>28504380
that's a volvo doe ?

>>28504395
put 351 and stop crying

>>28504740
Meh I'd buy one with a 302 regardless, and if I blew it up doing baby's first cam+head job I'd drop in a 351w

I'd like to see someone try to build a 255 anyways, from some quick searching certain 289 heads can fit with modifications

Volvo is actually a Japanese company.
It was founded in 1903 by Borubo Takahiro in Niigata as an ekiben box manufacturer. It was later moved to Kagoshima and was eventually sold to a Swedish steel conglomerate Skitsnackspridare for around 50 million yen in 1924.

I love those old long body cars, with 2 doors. I think it was something to do with the boat ofa body that made them stick to the roads, better handling than todays cars. Or maybe it was something to do with the big front end hanging out in front of the 2 front tires, with a big v8 engine in it, weighing down the front end of hte car to the road.

I had an 81' Monte Carlo and there was this certain curve on this road I lived on. I had an 85' Chevy Celebrity before this, and the fastest I could take this curve in the Celebrity was 45mph, and it made the tires screech. This 81' Monte Carlo I had later, I could take the same curve going like 60-65mph. All I know is i could fly on curvy back roads and it just stuck to the road. Also maybeit had something to do with the front tires not spinning (cause rwd) and they never started slipping from giving it gas like a FWD would do, even tho you could hypothetically floor it and spin the front tires to spin yourself back onto the road with a fwd. RWD never hardly slipped, just the rear end usually.
1 last story. I drove some girls sport suspension small car once around then. And so I thought wow sports suspension, wonder how much better it can hold to the road. Tried doing with it what I done with my MOnte Carlo and as soon as I tried to take a curve fast; i was being cautious, the car started screeching, and i wasn't doing near what I would do that same curve in my Monte Carlo with. SHieieet

>image related
same color, style not wheels tho

>>28504744
E7's can fit, but they flow ~140cfm. it's pointless. if you want a cheap small displacement v8 get a 4.3 L99, no one wants the baby lt1 either

>>28505069
sounds legit

>>28504349 (OP)
love my third gen

>>28504373
I'll take a Datsun but that tbird is still nice.

anyone happen to have that image of all the cars parked at the parking lot right in front of the sidewalk... and all the new cars yo know you cant pull over the front of the car or it will scrape on that concrete parking thing.. so there all pulled up to the concrete thing. then the old 80's/70's car is pulled up with its front end over the concrete barrier, lol. and the front end is basically blocking the sidewalk, and the wheels are up to the concrete parking thing. and the caption says something like, Lol not my problem?
I used to do that with my car anyway

>>28505437
I got u, desu.

Might be a '82 Lincoln Towncar

>>28505437
this one? it's shooped but still funny

>>28505542
fuck the other anon beat me to it

>>28505542
no its not shopped. i used to do this. its funny.

>>28505437
Second question was, why do these old boat bodied cars stick so much better to the roads around curves than newer sports suspension cars do from my experience they do. does it have to do with the rwd too

>>28505553
the meme pic absolutely is shooped. the actual car's side marker is not that long.

eboniclet

>>28505553
also, newer cars tend to have stiffer suspensions and lower profile tyres so they bounce more rather than conforming to uneven surfaces

>so bad the Ford execs all admitted they would be ashamed to have that car in their garage

>>28506009
Compared to the average 21st century brown-coded momover it's a paragon of design, reliability, repairability, and comfort
Ford would be honored to build such a car nowadays, it's frankly tragic

>>28504744
I actually bought one of these cars to put a fresh 351w into and it wound up getting a 250k mile dingleball 302 and a broken wc t5 that I rebuilt
pic is the ad from marketplace.
>>28506009
they're probably the same executives that delayed factory rollercams in the 351w to 1995 so I don't really give a shit what those faggots think.

>>28506071
it's got the stock truck cam in it and all, the only hop up is a 650 brawler and a weiand dual plane, it's got 3.08s I think in the rear and it'll go merely 130mph but I think it could climb higher if it wasn't starving for more rpm torque in 5th, can only go so fast with 3,500 rpm.

>>28506072
also it's got some shitty summit long tubes

>>28505553
the transition from oil shocks to gas charged shocks made cars overall handle very sharply and less comfortably, if you ever get into a car that has pre gas shocks you'll feel the difference if they're not blown to shit.
they had no harsh rebounding feeling that modern cars do.

>>28506084
people not fucking around in overlanding or rally always use hydraulic shocks, which says it all really

Behold, the 1985 Dodge Charger Shelby Turbo

What is the car from The early 1980's for the man who seeks to give the image of himself as a man inferior to women in every way, a man who earns less than his female colleagues, has a female boss, and works in a female-dominated job?

>>28506859
chrysler k platform

>>28507091
And which Chrysler K-platform car would be best to give me the image of an inferior man to the women I'm looking for?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrysler_K_platform

>>28506621
I had one of these as a kid. I loved it and it's one of the few cars I miss dearly.
Even worse, I'm yuropoor and they never sold these Chargers/Daytonas in yurop, only the popup headlight models as the Chrysler GS

>>28507131
it's pretty fucin bad, im estimating less than 210hp.
I think you could maybe do 16s if you put a spool in it.

>>28507117
none of them
the k platform is the manlet drunken wife beater of cars

>>28507515
You rebuilt it and didn't put a cam in it?
Also, how's the interior doing after sitting out so long?

>>28507713
>You rebuilt it and didn't put a cam in it?
the budget was fuckall and the 351w I bought for it was in machineshop limbo.
the interior isn't in pristine condition but it's not bad.

>>28507880

>>28507885
I opened it up and replaced everything like crank/cam bearings and oil pump and honed it with a rock ball.
it's still factory 250k mile roller lifters cause I figured I trusted those more than I would a new set.

>>28507515
Yeah, 200 in a beefyish 80s type sedan is good for 16s on a hot launch. V8 tbird wasn't any better.

>>28507885
Faded carpet but it's way nicer than I expected
Shame the steering wheel is cracked, you'll never ever ever find another wheel for one of these unless you're willing to settle for a vic one
Might go drive a few hours to look at a tbird version of this. Unlike yours it has great paint and is generally really nice, but like yours the steering wheel is cracked :/

>>28507880
lmao loser
