New intake and engine clean up

Well, this is my first picture post on these forums. This is a 1986 T/A with the carb'd LG4 engine, we just put on a performer rpm q-jet intake, a compcams xe262h cam and did some general clean up. Tell me what you think of the whole car!

Re: New intake and engine clean up

Once you take the time to detail your engine bay, it should look great

that ride height is way to high, it must have wrong shocks or springs in there, or maybe the springs r just out of index.

Re: New intake and engine clean up

naw, i've got air lift shocks in the rear. We wanted to throw on the 50 series of those tires, but they wouldnt fit, so the car is just sitting higher than normal. I can probibly let out a little bit of air.
