Hey there!
Well as some of you already know I am starting my body off resto on my 85 t-type. Originally i was gonna intercool it but I want to keep her stock appearing for now. The questions are, I want to run solid 12.20-12.60 all day long and keep the factory look. I mean as close to stock as possible.
So since you guys are the experts I would like some suggestions on what you have and what you think I should buy to achieve this. Money is not a problem neither is time ( I have an 06 ram for everyday ) I am thinking about a girdle, rods, pistons, aluminum heads, extrude honed intake, injectors, and turbo but im not sure as what pieces will work the best for me.
This car will be driven sunny day and probably 7k miles a year with minimal racing. I have read about upgrading to the 87 ECM and such and I happen to already have the full 87 wiring harness and ecm. should I put this in when i put the car back together?
Also, the car will have a factory trans with a performance rebuild but only a transgo SHIFT IMPROVER kit. I want to retain the factory ride and shift when im not on it. it also has a new 1800 stall in it. The car has the factory 3:42 gears and I dont want to change any of that stuff.
So... what do ya think?
Thanks guys for the help, this is a great site!
