Re: TPI is prettiest

They may not make the power of an LS engine, but the TPI does have more visual character than the plastic looking generic look of the LS.
.... but the LS does look way way better when the hood is closed... then it's all plastic taillights.

Re: TPI is prettiest

Agree 100% - Rebuilt 1985 LB9 305. I have had the car for almost 32 years. Thought I would share a couple of pics.
Mocked up pre-install June 2016

Back where she belongs I
