As far as what the 'ole girl is up to after I sold it March '16, no idea :).


96gt4.6, I’m happy you are still here. Did you use the Grand Marquis accelerator pedal like you originally wanted to or the F150

I get the thread reply emails, and peek over here from time to time :).

On the pedal, actually.....neither. Although I wanted to keep the OEM functionality of the adjustable pedals, I ended up using a Mustang pedal and losing the adjustable pedals.

If one were to put a little time and effort into the pedals, I don't see why the adjustable part wouldn't work, although the GM pedal would probably have to be modified as far as the APP sensor goes, I believe the Coyote's pedal sensor was different as far as how it functioned electrically, but it's been a while since I have looked in the manual to compare.

The OEM pedals on the Marauder unfortunately had the 'froze' issue they they seem to suffer from, and I just never got around to fixing/retrofitting it all like I had wanted.

Me too! working on my fathers 70 Chevelle SS , and dropping a crate motor in a Jeep I picked up so haven't really thought about a Marauder lately , nice to work on another platform from time to time.
 
Back in september i recently worked on my dads car he bought in 1970. Its been in my back garage for 8-9 years. It fired right up and i moved it to the bigger garage to work on it. Old car was so simple, i fixed like 3 things in 5 minutes.
70 chevelle... drooool

Thats a sweet ride! my buddy is a Pontiac fanatic! I sent him the video , yeah older cars are such a joy to work on compared to the new stuff.

That is no joke, my multimeter would collect dust if thats all i had to work one these days. lol
 
I'm glad it went to the owner it did! He was able to correct some things with his experience and connections that I would have certainly had to do as well. And certainly happy there is still a connection to the car after the fact :).

It has a been a joy to work on and its a unique one of a kind build for sure!:bows:
 
So apparently Photobucket has restricted linking of pics. I'm working on getting the album moved over to an alternative host, will re-link when I get that taken care of. There seems to be quite the following of Coyote swapped Panthers with the 5.0 getting cheaper and cheaper as the bone yards fill up. I am really happy I am able to provide some pics and such to aid them....once I get them accessible again.
