Long haul or nothing. All I need is to finish the tune and maybe put some decent street tires on the rear...i don't know if the BFG's will last through the whole ordeal.

Hopefully your build goes better than mine....it took almost a year to get my long block back to my door, that was after the car had been sitting for a while already....then it sat for almost another year...next one will be different.

Don't build it if you cant drive it!! I like it Ben I'll be ok, just waiting for a couple of the one-off pieces to be complete (end of this month) then I can start to wrap things up.

Check out the Brake section....nice write up on the V conversion. If you plan for it with your wheel choice, it should be virtually plug-n-play.

Damn. Your attention to detail is flawless. Amazing build
Thank-you sir...

Thanks Jim, it was a surprise to me too. Was forced this way when it was determined the tbody in play was too big and wouldn't function in any other position than idle or WOT. Ooops! Wasn't going to compromise the power in something less soooooo this was the only choice plus its just so damn cool. Stupid cars...

The pic shown above is the 'standard' kit (finish specifically). Naturally, there will be a couple tweaks so it doesn't look out of place.

Thanks dj...

Geezus dont remind me....appears I'm gonna have to work until I'm 100

I've always loved ITB setups. More pics and description of the exhaust please. Is it a true dual setup?

Exhaust is Kooks true dual. Having read multiple posts about the price being to high for "what it is", these people have never seen one or can't appreciate what it takes to make a piece like this. Unbelieveable quality....can't wait to put it on! Naturally this is the last piece to go on this build, so I'm gonna stare at these monster boxes for another couple months.

Hope I dont get bored and do something stupid like polish it
