    I use 2X4's and 2X6's
    I place the front to back 2X6's inside the up & down supports
    so when there is a load it is pushing against the 2X6's holding them tighter against the supports verses trying to push them off the supports and rip the nails/screws out if they were on the outside

    thats about a 100 higher right across the board then i'd pay a chance on. i haven't payed more then 200 for a car or van in months, but at 140-160 i need my gas and time covered.

    You can send all them crown Vic's/ grand mar my way ! People love them for demo derby cars around here, trust me it's a huge deal around here. Went to a demo last year and someone was running a 2005 crown Vic!

    2004 BUICK LESABRE LIMITED $465 -Pull off all limited parts and sell as a kit to upgrade from a custom. If the engine is a series 3 3800, sell the intake updates off of it to put on the series 2. trans might have updates too, not sure.
    1999 MERCURY MOUNTAINEER $525- all the same parts listed above on explorer
    crown vic p71s. The upgraded heavy duty parts, including silicone hoses.
    Tauruses (130 amp 3g alternator (get wiring harness for alt), window motors (w/ pigtail), and efan (best jy efan swap (get wiring and relay), pushes most air).
    5.0 explorers are becoming a popular swap into older trucks. engine, wiring harness, ecu and trans. 8.8 axle too. I see lots of posting on classicbronco about them. Why? explorer was last to use the 302 so it is a roller 302, maf, obd2. best flowing heads ford has made for the small block. distrubitorless ignition, more efficient.

    look through steve83s supermotors for popular ford vehicle modifications. http://www.supermotors.net/registry/2742/73981-4
