I have an 81 4-door Zephyr sitting around, too. I had some absurd build planned but have decided to go EXTREME sleeper turbo setup. I have a spreadsheet with pricing for every last hose, fitting, and bracket to do a 9-second build on a $5k budget (including the cost of the car). You have a time frame on when you might have this running? I'm going to be watching carefully lol. |
4.8s are awesome too! What cam are you going to throw in it? |

Still tryna do things within a budget also.

Sloppy stage 2 should fit the bill nicely. What are the plans for the rear end? |
