Do you have a pic of the intercooler with the front clip on? I was thinking a2a but if a a2a will fit, might go that route.

update, i wired up the starter, it cranks over. if i added fuel i could start it. merge pipe turned out pretty good. was able to use a pice of flex on both sides, wastegate location works out very nice. need to send the computer to frost, buy a 3 bar map, few small things and ill be getting my drive shaft threw pst. i had their aluminum one in my camaro, but ill stick with mild steel and a real 1350 pinion joint, and ill do 3.27's at the same time

better pic of wheels.

93 cobra rear disk conversion

had to get and adjustable one because stock was putting pressure the wrong way


merge pipe
