Nice collection you got there!!! The WRX looks like it will get up and spank a lot. It might be easier if you took a pic of what you have and show us the angle of the mounts. Unless someone else can picture it in their head.

haha, i got two of them, they come as a pair, i got them from www.laurelmountainmustang.com

i think they were 700 + shipping if i recall, but i worked out a package deal with laurelmountain since i have ordered every single part from them so far,...awesome customer service, we had a bit of a mix up and things were cleared up next day!

I had no idea people were getting 2 seats at a time!!! For some reason my car isn't keeping up with yours...maybe I need to work on it for that to happen.

well, little update, i have been waiting for a long time for the motor to be finished, but it was back and forth picking parts and changing things etc,...but here it is,...
ford 302 bored .30 over (makes it a 306?)
edelbrock aluminum heads
edelbrock rpm cam and lifters
edelbrock timing chain and gears
edelbrock rpm intake manifold
edelbrock 650 electric choke carb
edelbrock elite air cleaner
edelbrock elite valve covers with breathers
procomp electronic ignition
etc etc etc, and a whole bunch of chrome waiting to go on this bad boy,..i cant wait,





also lots os busy work, i have spent two 5 hours days scraping the under side of the car and getting it ready for a new coat of undercoating, i want the bottom to look as good as the top







that is jose holding the light, i dont even know why i let him work on my car, he drives a car with no pistons







leaving for canada for 4 days, will start building the rest of the motor when i get home next week:devil: getting closer to firing this thing up
