RE: My 88 GT TTops Project Thread
I've been workin a lot this summer and haven't had time to update.
I have almost everything done in the engine bay and hooked up finnaly. All I have left is stabbing the distributer and fillling up all the fluids. Already primmed the oil pump. I also have all the air conditioner stuff out at the moment but it's going to be working its way back in.
Only problem I'm having is figguring out all the small vaccumes for the a/c. My neighbor down the road has a 5.0 lx. He said I can stop by and look under the hood any time he's home so ya.

I finnaly bolted up my off road h-pipe. I had to chop off the hangers on it though. They were in the way. I also had to bend it some to get it to fit right but it's all bolted up. While I was down there, I noticed there was a hole and crack in one of my mufflers, so those are going to be replaced.
Any suggestions on what muffler won't be to loud, but a nice low and deep rumble?

Mac catbacks are pretty quiet when at idle, but when you stomp on it, people will know your coming...
mine had a drone around cruising speed for a few hundred miles, but it went away.... and it sounds killer with an offroad pipe, especially at high rpm...

My uncle is bringing his over soon and then I'll get it timed. But WOOOO!!! I can't wait to get this thing on the road! after my body work... But I can still drive it a little
