Hi. I have a '73 Satellite that I plan to, what Id refer to as, a restomod. However im not going as far as the $300-$100k builds that you see. Maybe its just a mod, because it isnt a restoration, that's for sure.
Im in the military and dont have the time or patience anymore to do it myself. She has been my project since 1998. Originally was making her a street/strip car, but now im going more road race. The body is good with a fresh paint job. I have the F440 HP2 engine that I want to make EFI with ~650 hp. It already has the power, just not the EFI. I have TQ side performance leaf springs with Caltracks, but I want to swap the rear end to a S60 with 3:55 or 3:77 powered through a TF 727 and Gear Vendors OD. Go with a tubular K-member and control arms. Slightly squatted and widened with bolt on flares. The back seat is removed and will have an aluminum mounting plate facing to the trunk to move everything I can to the trunk to get as close to 50/50 weight as possible. Oh yeah, it will have A/C and a nice stereo.
Im open to thoughts and suggestions. Does anyone know someone who does this kind of work that has a verifiable reputation?
