My car has et street 27/10.5/15s on Holeshot Sunstars. suspension is stock 4 cylinder up front with an AJE 4.6 Kmember. Rear suspension is stock with lowering springs, its not low enough for my tastes so i may go to an 'weight jacker' type lower control arm.

Also, what rear does the 4cyl have? Is that a 8.8 or a 8"? I'm looking at a 82' GT right now and wanna know what the conversion will consist of. I'll be using a 241 headed-LQ4 I just picked up and a built TH400 my pop's gave me a few months ago.

There are no 'kits'. Aje makes a LSx Kmember and Kooks makes headers. Those are the two hardest things, the rest isnt too bad at all.

I used a Competition Engineering universal with the humps for the exhaust to pass under. You cut it to lenght and weld away.
