WOW! Talk about a sleeper!!! Looks nice, I didn't know there was that much room under those! (I know guys do LS1 swaps quite often, but I have yet to see pics of the engine bay)

they have low rise manifolds to clear the hood too, but i have vortec heads on there and as far as i know, no one makes a low rise for them.

the combo seems very similar to what i had in my car mine was as follows

81 rx bare bones
355
10-1 hypers
comp xe 274 cam
performer rpm
770 vac secondary carb
all msd ignition
shorty headers
single 3"
2800 stall
th350

ran 12.5@115 mph N/A on bald *** 235/60/15 street tires with the stock diff etc as for the 8.8 lots of guys cut the brackets of a stock diff and weld them on and go that route and just my 2 cents lower the A1000 pump to below the sump of the cell otherwise it will overheat in any kind of street conditions etc

mines an 85 not sure what model, i know it has power windows. I still need to get it to the scales, and find out what it weighs. i was reading aeromotives instructions and it stated it should be mount at or below the center line of the tank, but i have enough room im gonna move it.

What rim and tire combo did u use?

i used mustang ten hole rims and bfg 235/60/15 for street along with drag lites and 26x9x15 slicks for a 4 lug mustang on mine i also converted the rear to take normal studs instead of the gay *** lug bolt things .......but i would strongly recomend a 8.8

i think im gonna go pull another rx7 rear and a 8.8 outta a ranger or mustang and just make my own, i know that grannys sells a torque arm conversion but i think my car hooks well for having the watts link, my front suspension is adjustable with 7" long 350 "/lbs springs, I also have both sway bars on, which im gonna pull off today so that should help.
