I am finally on my way home on leave guys! I am currently stuck at BIAP (Baghdad International Airport) awaiting some paperwork. I won't be able to do a whole lot of work on the car unfortunately because we have to drive up to Indiana to see my wifes brother. He wrecked his bike and bashed his head on a road sign. But at least I am on my way home and I might be able to put my motor back together.

86 5.0L

good to hear, I remember your leaving thread

welcome back!

random question, but is the car your building up now the 93 you have posted pics of or the 83? I remember you saying the 83 had alot of rust issues

Well I will be back in the states for 15 days. Possibly more depending on how the brother in law is doing.

I will be putting my 93 together once I get home for good. The 83 is going back to Indiana until I get out of the army in a couple years. Its the future track car. The 93 is going to be the DD and is getting the full interior put back in piece by piece, gotta be able to have the wife and kids enjoy the ride too. But the first thing I have to do is redo someone's crappy welding and bondo work in the engine bay when they attempted to fix a wrecked front end.

The build is going to be basicly the same as the 83 was but here is the run down:

same 306 non roller with same GT40's
same eddy performer intake and 600 carb (yes I know an intake swap is do)
Lunati Bracket Master II cam with upgraded springs
T5 this time (supposedly need to rebuild the trans but we will see)
BBK specific rate springs
SN seats
MT's 255/60/15's mounted on some 10 holes for the track
Mark VIII fan with DCC FK35 controller
MAC H-pipe with Produmps (now with tail pipes)
Blaster Ignition box and Blaster II coil
P/S relocate kit (FRPP)
3G Upgrade and battery relocate will soon be comming afterward along with full length subframe connectors, strut tower brace, and upgraded brakes.

Eventually I will have a small build thread going starting some time in late Jan.
Here is my photobucket link for those who are interested.
