A month later - now the pics

So my car is ... pretty much / for now ... done. Old 350 block that was redone. 360 hp // 380ft lbs at the flywheel. I cant wait to get it on a dyno to see how the numers really add up. Six speed tranny from a 93 maro. Spohn trans mount/trq arm. 3.73 gears and an auburn posi. 1-3/4" slp coated shorties witha 3" custom y-pipe out to the back. Unfortuantly its been in and out of the shop for the past month for reason such as :

brake lights always on / never on
gasoline leaks
trans leak
broke clutch linkage
other annoying crap that should have been done right the first time


and finally my best friend was scalded with coolant when the radiator hose blew off.... not a fun night.


So after all is said and done, here she is

well its half n half right now. Because of my rear shocks being kaput from the old sub box sittin on it for a few years, the weight transfer is a little off. But the car is RIGID. Most def a huge improvement.

The SFC's are on there. If you look in the second pic you can see a part of one ( the black bar going towards the transwell). I would say they are one of the single best upgrades ANYONE could do to their car

Thans for the compliment, and yes it is a jongbloed hood. Its available from a few places but i ordered mine from Hawks (one of our sponsors). To that, i also ordered all of my suspension through Spohn.
