Dropped off the Cougar for some additional improvements

Well I finally decided to move on to the 3L Intake conversion. I have a few reasons why. For one, I wanted a little more low-mid range torque to it. Then, I also wanted to have a Cold Air intake installed because the heat soak from the HAI was getting on my nerves. I didn't want to go through another summer with heat soaking issues. This will allow me...

Last weekend I drove up to Ohio to drop the Cougar off for some transaxle work. I had a great time hanging out with Brian (Racerx), Dom and Billy while I was up there. :gathering:

Dom is sending the tranny to Terry Haines to look at the 3rd gear issue and do some upgrades to it as well. While it's at the shop, Dom is going to look at the small oil...
