yep, looks like a contender for sure.

Details? Cubes? What tranny are you going to run behind it? What cogs?

Looks good. Do all or most of the pipes run under the K-member? They work, but a lot of them have gotten beat up pretty bad so good luck with that part of it. Those JBA BBK or what headers? I would have thought that you would have stuck with stock manifolds for the heat and to aid it spool up time. But you are fairly close to the turbo so I guess it won't make a huge difference one way or another. Good luck! Lets see the results should be good with an auto for sure.

The pics from above are old. The headers and all of the hot piping running under the K-member were changed out and look a lot better now. It is a very nice Street set up that keeps the A/C. It is a very nice car you got going TA SNKETR. Post some updated pics.

we were down there in houston about a month ago and when we were gonna take pictures of it I was only able to take one and the batterie on the camera went dead.IM sure when we go pick it up we will take pictures from under the car and the engine bay.
