Um, maybe....looking at my old car 4 doors down with chameleon paint on it. Just need a 9"

But to answer the question, this setup was designed for an F1 from the beginning. I just didn't think I'd have one already.

Yeah I looked really hard at the big cubes route....but obviously went a different one.

From what I understand i'm the 3rd car this setup has been on.

Now I just need to get over the crappy ATI tensioner pulley problem...looks like I have a steel Dayco replacment that will work....will find out tomorrow evening.

LMAO! You know when I started adding it up it was cheaper to go big cubes instead... my math skills suck! Would have been less to keep the 347 and buy Marks stuff now.

No matter what path you take, going fast is NEVER cheap!

Today I re-tq'd the head bolts, changed the oil, almost got he oil leak fixed. Down to a s..l..o..w drip now. And I got this installed. All I need now is the SDCE bracket to get here & with a few hrs mod time & the F1 will be on the car.
