Very nice! I have talked to you before, I have a turbo 6.0 in my 83 242. The look of your car is perfect! Are your rear fenders pulled or tubbed at all? Any changes to the geometry of the rear suspension? I'm working on adding some anti-squat to the rear of mine, I can't even use the power I have now, but i'm working on fixing that.

The car has wider wheelhouses so i can fit 11,5 26 17 tires but its stock on the outside

My question are:
1- what method did you use to swap the engine in?
2- did you change the front suspension?
