I did what Gary did and skimmed over it. You're truck looks nothing like it did when you first bought it. Very impressive!

Must be nice getting through the project without any snags like you had with the truck.

Any ideas on what your next project is?

I could always offer up my little 4.0 for a swap.

What'd he want to put the 4.0 into though? A golf cart?

That's actually not a bad idea. If only there was a S197 body kit for golf carts. EVERYONE would want me to be their caddy.

Ha! To be fair though, this thread makes me want to do a coyote conversion even more.

Have to ask again, how is the manual rack vs power steering you might have on other vehicles?

Damn it looks good.. I've been restoring my 69 Bronco for the last 4 years and I feel like I'm automotively challenged...

The manaul rack feels like any other manual rack car I have driven before , It is hard doing parking lot manouvers like 3 point turns etc especially with the wide low pros. But once you are rolling it feels great. It has a nice racecar feel to it , I really like it although my 5 foot wife hasnt driven it yet and I know she will be like wtf is up with the steering?

Well Ive been messing with the exhaust, welded in some cutouts where they fit the best but wasnt happy with the way they sounded so I blocked them back off. It sounds so awesome run through the x-pipe , almost like a Jap crotch rocket when you take-off. So now I running 2 magnaflow 6 inch round straight through mufflers right behind the x-pipe and it sounds great! I have the rear section of the saleen exhaust still hanging so I need to figure out how Im going to run the rest of it. Car runs great , feels fast as hell. Steering is pretty heavy at times in parking lots but the feel on the road is great. Finished installing my headliner , now I just need to take some time and wet sand and buff it out.
