ok i found my old thread. I will update with some interior pics tonight i hope.I went to the machine shop yesterday to finalize some stuff.It will be the exp. shortblock, gt40p's with the valves punched to 1.94/1.50's (i thought they could go to 1.60's but i guess not.) fully ported,shaved slightly, they will be flow benched before and after also. tfs stage 2 cam, 24lb inj.andtyphoon intake n tb.

I bought all new wiring and retaped and loomed it,a9l, (not sure yet if i should just do a standalone.)

suspension is going to be changed over to mm fron k-member kit w/coiloversall that.rear will be mm also butcant afford right now. subframes and tq. boxes welded.

i also just bought an sn95 front spindle set up instead of the cheap lincoln rotors. i got spindles hubs and pbr dual piston calipers. rears will be swapped when i can.

interior will remain stock butwith a 5"tacand 2 gauge piller pod.

exterior will be a while till i can take care of the rust and paint. it is ok for now.

the car is being set up for a nice street car and some solo races.

I still have to get a whole new tranny setup (clutch, flywheel, etc.) not sure what to use yet. the rear is just rebuilt with 3:73, stock trac lok. still need mass air sensor, rockers and many others. any suggestions on mass air and tranny also would help.
