Thanks,
Marty

I am running a single DBB 76 turbo .. ummm header's are expensive .. I also went with 321 SS.. I am cleanin up the car today while it's warm out then access whats coming off the car .. hybrid send me your email and Ill send ya pics of the wheels.. they are not that old but have just been sitting .. car should look a lot better in a few hours .. Interior needs nothing but the map pocket and TTA emblem

Grumpy,
When you get your headers done can you post some pictures. Are they similar in design to the ATR's at the turbo ? Also wondering any particular reason you chose to use stage 2 heads?

NO DON"T have Stage2 heads ..this is goin to be a street car .. using Champion alum heads (stage 2 shortblock) ..Header's arn't anything like ATRs . Jan good memory .. same ol driveway .. just different cars here are the header's in progress

 

[V8Killer]

Dan, nice looking headers.....reminds me of a set I saw on a Camaro You may have seen that car before, maroon, single-turbo, TPI, drag-radials......runs 9's :biggrin:
