Drove my car last night it was the first time in almost a month. Sad to say something didn't feel right. Still need to fix the power steering im hoping its just the pump this time. It felt as if the trans was going out so got to get that checked out as well

Yea i know thats why i am wanting to redue everything from the bottom up. Stronger axle, drive shaft, trans, and motor, also plan on doing away with the power steering and go to a mustang rack

I see the new SS coming in around 3600lbs. Not too bad.. but only 150lbs lighter than current.

Care to share more information on your Hinson turbo/engine setup?

I've seen quite a few guys on CF have bought them but know of very few who have actually reported back with results.

Might help if I didn't just skim through everything and ignore all of the side banter.

There was this moron (or the best troll ever) that used to be a regular in AOL Car Chat, claimed up and down he had a '77 TA with the SD 455. He also claimed an '88 BMW 327aei. No that is not a typo.
