here are the pics from when I got it to where it is now, the engine is a stock lower end with gt40 heads scorpion roller rockers edelbrock super victor intake edelbrock 650 carb timing gears(noisy) new water pump and high volume oil pump, the suspesion it qu1 tubular k member and a arms, granatelli coil overs and rear upper and lower control arms, upr camber caster plates eibach lowering springs in back rear end is 3.55 gears with a ford trac lock center stock axles and trickflow diff cover
thanks man, you are building what I want though, I want a notch with a 427 in it, the gt is going to be my kids when he is old enough (and responsible) to drive it, then I will work on a notch, I have 4 to 5 years to go
well we got her running today, kind of, I am looking for an external fuel pump for a carb setup cheap if anyone has one, I am getting a sump tank for short money will also be looking for -an fuel lines to go with the pump, no pics this week but a link to photobucket with alot of videos, probably look dumb but we figured it out, had a problem with the intake not sitting right and was getting water in the # 1 cylinder, had to take the intake off and grind some of the edge off so it would clear the heads and now it is all good no leaking into the cylinders only the thermostat housing is leaking a little now, a little rtv next week will fix that problem, we will get the rear end and exhaust and hopefully a fuel system ( instead of a lawnmower gas tank) in and maybe yard drive it, I am not sure if the link is going to work but here it is
well I finally got some time to work on her today, got most of the wiring harness in, ran most of the fuel line, I am running -6an, have a sumped tank to put in, got the nose almost completely bolted on, and got most of the exhaust in, I got the brake booster and master in, I know I was all over the place with what I was doing but at least I got some stuff going

pics from the start to my brake setup for the front, Wilwood Dynalite setup 4 piston calipers 11 inch rotors, alot of modification on the spindles for this to work, I will be doing the backs at a later date for now I am going to use ranger drums with the superior axles I got to complete the 5 lug conversion untill I can afford the dynalite setup with parking brake for the back
Here are some more pics of the wilwood setup, the wheels are temporary till I can afford the $1700 for the ones I want, also a pic of my new used racing seats
Well I finally started putting together my rear end, 3.55 gears with a ford trac lock kit, superior axle and gears 5 lug axles, and a trickflow diff cover, I am doing drum brakes in the back for now cause the wilwood setup for the back is too pricey for me right now the first 2 pics are what the car looks like right now
Looks great , wheels look like they belong on a foxbody. Willwood stuff looks good but in the rear you wouldn't notice the difference over properly working drums. Not worth the money in my opinion, put the cash elsewhere in the car!

thanks LS1NOVA67, I am probably going to stay with drums for a while, the wheels look good but rub the fender in the front because the tubular k member moved the wheels forward about an inch and the center caps cant be used on the front because of the wilwood dust cap so that is why they are temporary, I am going to do fats and skinnies on it, I am in the process of trying to get a 306 that I am going to make a 347 that I will spray so I am going more for the drag style anyways, I just have too save up about $1600 for the wheels and tires I want
just picked up a nx mainline kit for $100 brand new, love craigslist, I just need a few parts before I attempt to install it, and I am going to paint the bottle to match my car
