Also, any chance you can post pictures of what your cars interior looks like when it is gutted and "race ready"

It came off my friends car and was cheap

There will be a ton of pictures of everything, even the 500,000 mile heads going together. Its going to be a full length article.

I'll be very interested to see how this all turns out since i'm running the same cams and stock valve springs. Best of luck.

You are part of the reason for the serious stock spring test, its time to see what they can really do long term.

Update - picked up a Canton road race pan off Ebay for $95 shipped

Jim Harty who does most of the T45 transmissions in NMRA put one together for me with some billet love.

Also trading for a Fidanza 4.3 clutch, current owner can't stand the off/on aspect.

Combine that with the 11" aluminum Cobra flywheel I picked up and it looks like we might have a combo that can handle a 7000RPM dump at the launch. I am planning now to get a brace for the rear and probably run a full Baseline rear arm kit, its going to get violent at the launch if I get my way
