Awesome build... I can't believe the track is letting you run with that box and that bottle mount in a hatch, lol.

Great build doing the same thing with a 85 coupe. What did the LQ4 come out of YMM ? Did you install arp rod bolts/screws? Stock pistons w/150 shot?

The car is sweet. I have a 88 notch that I just bought a 04-05 6.0 for it. What heads are on yours I was thinking of putting some L92s on mine. What did you have to do to get the steering shaft to work, is ther 2 joints in it? is it a manual Flaming river steering rack? I have heard that the AJE K-members are not good for a street car, but do you still drive it alot on the street, I am just concerned with it flexing or bending. What did you settle for a carb? Sorry for all the questions, BTW Excellent job

Dickie-

I live near New Haven.

Real nice build.

I know you didn't build it for economy, have you calculated MPG?
What rear gear? T400?
