Default 93 POS notchback build EDIT; FINALLY GOES 8S!!!
ok so my plan is to leave the car looking as is pretty much. i just got this off a buddy up in boise this weekend. it already had the aje crossmember and 5.3 in it.







i put a quick ratio steering rack in it yesterday so i could steer it around.

i ordered a ctsv oil pan for it should be here by friday.

ordered a PSI harness for it and the aje th400 crossmember.




im ordering a 10 point cage for it next week and all the piping i need from mandrel bends.com. im hoping to get this thing running by summer and nut off some 9 sec passes by the end of the year then forge the motor and soo what i can do. will keep this updated.

What's the length of the cable? I had the lokar on my carb setup but it's way too short for the truck intake. Thanks.

Cool build. Nice looking car to start with. So are you gonna toss in a 5.3 or 6.0? Turbo it now or later? I really hate when people use pics instead of simply typing out their plans.

Good luck whatever you decide to do bro!

Looks like a solid Notch Cant wait for more pics

Are those rad brackets from a Ford? They look different than the standard 5.0 versions.
