[Slolyfe]

What did you use as far as rock lights? Any links or close ups of the mounting? Im looking for led lights but they are pricey! Thanks

[Mossyrocks]

Sorry fellas, been out wheelin.

I used roundeyes leds for rock lights, no pics at the moment but I can get some later.

How bout a heart transplant

Old one coming out



The donor being built up







Had Ipt build the torque converter, setup for a 2500rpm stall



The donor tranny with an IPT valve body.



Shes in!





Let me just say this, JBA headers pretty much have to be put on with the motor in the floor...  And then the bellhousing has to be ground down to clear them.  Apparently JBA stands for "Just Being an ".   The flanges are turned the worst possible direction and they just dont fit together well.

Here is where the bellhousing is ground down about a 1/4".

looking at ErikB's build made me think of linking my 97, and now after reading through this entire thread, I think I might piss off the ole lady, (cause she thinks I'm done with the runner, he he) but I dont think I can afford linking for a while, we'll see

[THK Matt]

GET SOMEEEEE! hell yeah dude that thing's mean!

[pumkin toy]

nice dude!  sounds good, I need to get a drive by video of my rig like that!

[muddytaco]

thats freakin bad

[Mossyrocks]

Thanks everybody, Im extremely happy with it.  I would like to tone the exhaust down a bit if I can do it without losing the sound.  mid-range, mid-throttle is loud as hell.

[88_Pathy]

Moroso has a little muffler that just might do the trick.

[46&2]

I want to put a super charged 3.4 in my 85 now...

[NITE KRAWLERS]

Sounds good man and looks like it rips!!!

[NorCalToy]

[GONZO97]

The fab work on this runner is sick

[I.D.G.A.F]

lookin good in the mag 

[Mossyrocks]

Finally built me a new engine cage.  At first I didnt want to go through the hood, but I figured since its just a toy, its worth protecting that supercharger.















And might as well add some tunes to the tube doors, kinda hard to hear the back door speakers on the highway.





And the next project?  finally, some currie swaybars...
