Haven't really posted must, haven't had the energy or drive to work on the car lately. The nice weather changed that, the last couple days. Replaced the wheel bearings, put in rebuilt calipers in the rear with semi metaltic pads. Cross drilled all four rotors. Started making some custom aluminum peices for the center console with gauge pods. Also, got the interior completely put in except for the door panels which I'm half way done redoing from scratch.

I also have many peices sitting in the garage ready to go in, and as soon as I order a torque arm bracket and converter the motor and tranny can go in. Hopely will be running in July!

Nice. What stall are you running your converter at?

probably going to get a 2300-2500. The motor really needs a 3000 but I don't think my rear end could handle it for to long.

I ran a 3000rpm stall for over a year. Rear end was fine. Contrary to popular belief, it's not rev to 3000 and bam it spins the tires. It's a little more feathered than that.

I say get the 3000

Did you say that you actually drilled holes in your brake rotors?
