its not about horsepower its about the correct angles of all your suspension pieces. lowered the car? stock rear? you Might get away with non adjustable lower control arms. But the rear end is going to shift over due to the car being lowered and you NEED an adjustable pan hard bar to bring it back to center. and you also need to look into a relocation front tranny cross member. it takes the torque arm off the tranny so no more broken mounts. And allows you to properly angle it in the front to keep the instant center correct. it Might not be needed. but it will help your 60 foots.

Yeah adj is well worth the extra money. Looking good man. I used to recover seats for Bournes auto center in Easton while I was running the detail department. Def a good thing to learn.

Parts ordered (all are adjustable LCA, hardpan, relocate bracket, TQ arm and ploy bushings) for $616.73, not that bad. I went with the Founders Stuff, lots of good reviews and cheap too. Thx for the imput.

Headers are out, more parts on order, namely poly engine mounts and better hardware/ gaskets. Oh ya, pressure regulator and better in tank pump. Adam (Black Heartbeat) has been awesome, thx man for all the help. It's to the point where the car has become "our" project not just mine.
This is the result I am hoping for (only with an LT)............. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAreF...e_gdata_player More pics to follow. |

Adam came over last night, poly mounts are going it, hopefully by this time next week the headers and exhaust will be done. Then moving on to the suspension/traction.

Had to bring one of the new SS headers to the machine shop because the flange was Fubar......$140 later, looks as good as new should have.

Slow, The manifolds are out but with my work schedule and Adam injured things have been slow. Working buys the toys but leaves little time to fix and enjoy. All in good time, but man I want to get her back together so bad I can taste it.
