Hey JC. I'm in Elk Grove, the only White GTA around as far as I can see. ^_^

My car is rolling out this sunday after being down with a blown transmission since August of last year But its going in, and I got some goodies on the side just waiting for the car to pass emissions. Heads, Cam, intake, and unfortunately no headers...the money isn't there due to unexpected expenses.

Tim(9d1burd) and I are probably going to yank the V6 this wednesday, or at least take a good look at what we need to do for the swap.

He's got the motor, harness, and ecm from a 87 305TPI all ready, so its just a matter of doing the work.

-Bill

my car just barely passed emissions, it wouldnt pass anymore. i had to add the water pump. some guy in a mustang had car envy and tried to pick a fight with me at the emissions lane! that was a first. mounts, radiator, hoses, if you have headers u will have to reroute the brake lines, thats for the 3.1L. if u guys want to see what i did with mine let me know ill bring it out. also id like to see your cars and steal the wheels and tires if they are nice. jk

Lake in the Hills. Hey, if we get a few more people, Saturday night cruises could be a reality. Does anyone know of locations where racing may be taking place?
