Thanks for the kind words guys. I appreciate it!
King James- No track times yet, still working on finishing the wiring for the engine harness and the car itself.
1QuickT-A- I guess it will be Pro Street in the end. It was the only Vega at time I was in the market to buy one that was rust free, all steel, all glass with a factory dash. It had spent it's first 25 years as a bracket racer in San Antonio Texas.

Sweet ride
You got headers to clear the steering shaft. What did you use?
EDIT: Ok looking at the pics it looks like you moved it over with some U joint looking deal. Ill have to talk to you.

I have a '77 that just might get the same treatment. So ......... Is that a Corvette accessory drive or F-body? What did you use for headers? (I'm betting you had to fab them up) Any trans tunnel issues with the 4L60E? Any oil pan / crossmember / steering linkage issues?
Oh, by the way
damn nice work!

UPDATE: Got her running today
Fired up on the first crank, much to my suprise LOL. I will try to take some new pics and possibly a video by weeks end.
Also I would like to thank "G-Body" for ALL the help he gave me doing my own engine harness conversion. I couldn't have done it without him!
