Destroying a "classic" car. 77 catalina.

[Dngrmouse]

So i own a decent little catalina and i guess im gonna destroy it. Unless you wanna buy it. But anyway its a two owner car was in the same family since it was new. I have reciepts for like everything that has ever been done to it. It cant get out of its own way 301 v8. Th200 trans. 105000 miles. I like it. Its gonna get a motor. A big nasty one. Anyway im gonna need some ideas on a few things. More of that to come.

LS1/T56, suspension &brakes. Then go hurt as many feelings as possible.

*I wanted to do that with my aunt's '87 Delta 88 when I was in college.

So... any plans at all? What do you mean destroy it? If your goal is to offend as many people as possible, swap a BEAMS 3SGE from an altezza and slam it on some small wheels that are neon green or pink and leave the paint how it is. Maybe sticker bomb a fender

Make it into a donk with 26" wheels. Make them fit without lifting.

I think that just having a Catalina just pisses people off. It's one of the cars that PONTIAC enthusiasts wish they could all forget. Would love to see this thing outrun a mustang. Keep it unassuming looking though.

Yeah i would to. This thing literally cant get put of its own way. The 301 was like the worst motor ever made. But pontiac did put a 400 in it which would have been cool. Im just trying to find a motor thats worth putting into it.

So there was a skate contest today. Destroyed my hip didnt place and didnt get anything done. Sick. I would love to lower this thing. The rear is super easy. Its a 4 link coilsprings and shocks. But the front is dumb. Its got an a arm on top and a control arm on bottom that doesnt have shims or anything. So if i dump it right now it will have positive camber. So im not too sure on what to do. It might have a few shims on top i can remove but that only goes so far. So maybe lengthening the lowers? Or just make my own. Im not sure yet. Ill throw it up on the lift tomorow when i get to work. If anyone has any ideas about the camber or knows anything about these cars send help.

Fuck man, I meant pontiac

I get this thing and LTD crown vic from the same era mixed up because they look so similar.

LM swap it! You can get an LM7 for around $600, port the heads, throw in a cam, ls6 IM, and longtubes and have a high 300hp engine for sub 2 grand.

So incase anyone even cares im doing it. Gonna make it nasty. Scouting for a motor i think i found eccentric bolts that will work to lower it. Im wanting atleast 500 whp when its all said and done.

[Dngrmouse]

Im boring as he'll too.

Trying to find a 6.0 chevy. Idk if i should just turn it into a straight line monster or make it like pro touring ish. I know itll never handle great but i can make it better than it is

Keep it simple, some nice fitting mad tyte jdm wheels, blast pipes, duck bill chin spoiler, and a sharknose would make this thing really unique.



Make it like a ginormous boso cressida.

I seriously don't know where this is going. At first I thought you were just going to mod it in an uncommon way, now I hear that it's going to be a big HP build?

Hahahah i just might. I will be doing some uncommon mods but if im gonna build it its gotta be fast this thing is so unbelieveably slow. I just havent been able to decide exactly what i want to do to it ive got a few ideas floating around my dome piece. And i would make it a big ass boso cressida just to piss people off. Thats a good idea.
