Well I got a really nice 8 point roll bar installed last week by a local shop and the guy did an excellent job bending his own pipe and welding it all in. he even cut holes in the floorboard and welded the diagonal braces for the main hoop directly to the subframe connectors under the floorboard. he installed an X brace in the back between the two back braces off the main hoop and also welded on two tabs on the crossbar for me to install my shoulder harness and seat back brace. he did it all in one day too. I have since notched out the armrests on the interior door panels to fit around the door crossbars and patched several holes in the firewall where I removed the heater box and computer harness. I've also ordered a 5 gallon fuel cell and a battery mount for the rear hatch area. I've had a really bad cold since late Sunday so I haven't done anything on the car this week at all.[:@]

Well I do know he's going the BB route...
or was it a stroked 351?
Don't know but he's not gonna be the slow old man he once was.
