Nice man!
When it breaks, upgrade! that's my motto anyway.

Looking good.

I see you're already into bodywork, but if you should want to change, I do have a Roush rear valance that would go well with that body kit IMO.
Let me know if youR interested.

Otherwise, carry on!
PS. good choice on wheelz.

I originally had a hard time deciding if I liked the Saleen bumper on it now. After gettin it in satin and lined out it really flows well I think. Pictures don't really show it as well. When you see it in person it's really awesome!! I'm hoping once we get the new suspension under it and it's that much lower that it will look even better!!!

Well, didn't get much time to work on it this spring but I am currently tearing into it to try and get it closer to how I want it.

So.......................

Last night we got almost everything done to pull motor and tranny. All that's left is motor mounts, tranny mounts, driveshaft and then it will all be out. Then time to pull all suspension parts, rear end, interior, and full stereo for a complete rebuild. Also gonna respray the satin paint this spring.

Motor and tranny are gettin full rebuilds. Only part I'm not sure of yet is if I'm goin to do turbo 306 or possibly turbo stroker. I'll be using the stock block for now...........key everyone telling me it won't last...........but what I decide won't probably be untill after this weekend. I'm going to nationals Saturday in hopes of finding some great parts in the swap meet.

I dig those heat extraction hoods. And definitely stay wingless. Your car is looking really good... really good. Best of luck to you turbocharging the stock block. I, personally, would build a turbo 351W, big twin scroll single turbo mounted front and center. Pipe one bank of cylinders to each side of the split exhaust housing. Yeah, good times.

Either way, keep up the good work and keep us posted.

Thought about finding a 351 block but the problem is I already have 302 turbo manifolds and budget doesn't allow for all the changes that would have to be made for a 351 swap

Dropped turbo manifolds in to see how they'd fit with the 302 and it seems that either my motor is way off level or I'm gonna have to notch my passenger frame rail..............

But on the bright side there is over 2 inches clearance on each side so I might be able to use these with a 351 and only have to modify the crossover pipe

Picked up a fox rear end today that already has a newer Detroit locker and 3:73's in it. I'll get pics once it's back at the garage and cleaned up.

No progress lately. Been too busy to even make it to my buddies garage to work on it.

Gonna part the rear end out to try and make all my money back. He didn't have my money. It's been dealt with is all I'll say.

small updates........

1) purchased rear end is sold to a local guy with a fox that wanted a stronger rear end but isn't planning on building a monster motor. made $50 so I cant complain
2)search is on for a good 94-96 351w block that will get forged internals and my current turbo kits
3)every inch of suspension is out and im currently searching and buying as I find parts that I want
4) trying to decide what im going to do about the transmission. not spending magnum kind of cash for a couple of years so I have to either try and beef up my t5 or go another route
5)rear end will be dropped off to get built once I find all the parts going in-think I finally decided on 3:55's, 31 spline axles, c clip eliminators

will update more when I actually get out the garage and start working some more on it. cold weather will hopefully be done soon
