[pugsly89bii]

ok guys i have a 1989 bii 2wd. i cannot sell it or get it legal and plan to turn it into an all out drag machine. i already have some ideas but could use any help u have to offer.

How much money do u have to spend and what do u have to start with?

supercharged 302 c4 or 6 and a 9 in rear would be a sweet setup in a bII

If u could find a 427 cammer that would be sweet too

i have a bone stock 89bii that is 2wd. im gonna gut it and strip it down. this is going to be a long term project, just workin on it on the weekends. strictly for the drag strip.

i took a stock explorer 5.0 added a turbo megasquirt and a aode. Put it in my old volvo and made ~360/460 at 10psi. do that in a b2 and it would be silly. You will need a 8.8. Also we bolted a 86 svo mustang engine into a one and kept the 4x and at 20psi its silly.

They make stroke and supercharge kits for the 4.0...that would be sick imo.

Otherwise a 5.0 built to all hell will be fine...lol

no replacement for displacement! Probably want a carb motor NA for ease of wiring/tuning.

I'd think you'd want a well setup rear, ladder bars or four link or something. I'd imagine that B2 would get real sideways real fast with a bunch of horsepower. If your gutting it, do a mid or rear engine! Tub it out, narrowed 9 with a locker, and some fat and skinnies.

convert to a solid beam and leaf front, with a rack and pinion to get rid of bumpsteer when the front end comes down after a couple hundred feet.
