Thanks Buddy! The Eight Nine will get some love soon... I went out of town for the weekend, so I didn't get anything done except the speaker grilles this week. Ugh!
Gotta have good speakers, nothing worse than listening to busted rattling speakers when you are trying to jam with blinding lights while trying to drive at night 🤣 plus im sure that it looked goofy as well . But I would drive the hell out of franky. I would make sure that it had plenty of power and do about what you are doing and have some fun with it but I would make sure that I can embarrass a few LS guys 😂🤣🚗
I'm hoping for the same! Right now, it's just quick. The 351 should help it out a lot. I can't recall if I ever did a video about that motor.... it's just sitting on the stand, ready to go.
Its already ready to go i saw 351 and got excited and didn't read it all but what all did you do to it? That 351 is going to give it bigger balls for sure 😁👍🏽🚗💨💨💨💨
@@79beans347It is a roller block from a 96 F250. It has FloTek heads that have had a 3 angle valve job, and new Comp Cams valve springs installed. The heads are 58cc with 1.94 intake/1.54 exhaust valves. The cam is a Comp Cams 35-518-8 (aka XE-274HR). I have a 351 GT40 style lower for it... trying to locate a breadbox upper now, such as a Downs Ford or Cartech.
It's so-so. Good mids and highs, which is what I was mainly looking for because I put a sub in the car. Without the sub, they are better than stock - but I'd use Pioneer D-Series if I was looking to use them for lows too.
@@89G I am shocked on how cheap ($25) the speakers are on amazon. I may have to order them and try to install them myself. Since they are 6.5, do they bolt into the existing holes?
Sheesh that looks a lottttt better.
Thank you so much. I completely agree!
Everthing is coming together. Spring just 'round da corner to!!
Thank you. You've been a big help too, along the way.
The eight nine is going to get jealous.lol Glad to see Frankie is getting some love after all those years of abuse. I have to say, looks good.

Nicely done, I need to figure out why my head unit isn't working
Yeah, you'll be needing tunes for sure. Music and convertibles just go together! Do you have an aftermarket head unit? Or stock?
@@89G pioneer previous owner installed wrong somehow. Won't even power on
@@BrailsfordsRides I had issues with the stereo installation in mine too. That's a video I still haven't finished yet.
I wish I'd a seen the led speakers going. I love flashy blinky lights, but I get thats not everyone's cup of tea, looks slick the way you have it now
Thank you! It was just weird driving in the dark. I think I took a little video of it back in the summer. I'll look for it.
Great video.. wish you were my neighbor lol
Lol, me too! Thanks 😊
Did the speakers fit flush ?
Let me make sure I am understanding your question. Do you mean the speaker basket being flush up against the metal of the door? If so, yes they do.
What size speakers for the door?

@@89G 😳😳 nice, a 351w will get it moving for sure, what all are you planning on doing to the 351 or have you already built it and ready to go?

@@89G I think compcams makes one as well but I don't know if you want one like that. Its a plastic/composite made one
💯💣
Thanks for watching!
How’s the sound quality on these speakers?
It's so-so. Good mids and highs, which is what I was mainly looking for because I put a sub in the car. Without the sub, they are better than stock - but I'd use Pioneer D-Series if I was looking to use them for lows too.
@@89G I just removed my door panels to install new window motors, lock actuators, and need to take it to a shop to install speakers.
@@rr122608 they are actually pretty simple to install if you want to try it yourself.. especially if you already have good wiring into the doors.
