My turn I guess ...

Cory's 347 89GT is getting close to track time ... need more suspension work and maybe a fresh trans. Soon after... 5 lug conversion (parts gathered), putting interior back and painting his street ride. Still need 93 Cobra rear bumper ... anyone?

Got wifey's 93 4popper LX Hatch up to 26mpg! Cold A/C, new sounds, tinted windows. New no-cats exhaust, air intake mods / K&N filter helped a bunch. Will out run school buses in 1/8 mile, easy --- hah!

Cam's 85 4-eye coupe is soon coming into play for the 408 build - still gathering parts. Got wheels and hood he likes. This one will probably be the family track car.

My 93 coupe is soon to loose the 4cyl powerplant for (...) cubic inches with E303, Crane rockers, Cobra intake, need heads, shorties and now have 3.55 rear assembly and complete V8 front end also. Plan is to develop sweet daily driver with creature comforts too!

My 66 F100 shortbed is still on pause with parts stored all over the place. Going automatic with FE powerplant, lowering and Pro-Street look and build.

Am I forgeting anything ... hmmm?

I'll go next.
I will be converting my GT to A Cervinis Stalker/Cobra, it is getting painted Sonic Blue, hope the paint is still good as I bought it over a year ago. There was a 306 in it, but now I just bought my 408 stroker assembly. That will be sucking on my next few paychecks. I already have my T78 Turbo, got all my hotside back from JetHot already, paid over 2500.00 in suspension goodies, and redo the fuel system from braided to rubber lines. I have my hogged out Twisted Wedge Heads I will be using on the motor, selling my spyder intake, and purchasing a TFS R intake soon. G Force T5 slamming the gears, til they break, and now trying to buy a mcleod Twin Disk Clutch kit, and billet Flywheel. I really hate changing plans on this damn car, but it has gone through 3 different power adders, and 2 motors, as well as 3 Trannys. This shit is getting old.

My 85 Coupe is coming along nicely..... Chasis, suspension, motor, trans, rear, fuel system(minus a couple fitttings is done)..... Just need to get the rest of the underhood stuff finished, then on to the wiring nightmare and install all the interior..... Last thing is a little clean-up on the outside.....

Here's a couple pics.....

Nice motor shots $hawn. Is a 2 bolt main with steel girder as strong as a 4 bolt main motor?
