Slippery Slope begins

I don't think a rebuild is .. Bad news

I can't see you doing all that work then driving around and having it smoke , piss, and shutter.

Now you can do something wild to the motor.

You have a good point Barry. My good friend has a new rebuilt 86 head with a CSL 272 cam ported and polished and ready to be installed. I had the valve cover and plenums powder coated .Ordered the head gasket and few jewels from Carl Nelson. Ordered all the hoses ,clamps , studs , bolts , AC struff etc and had the heater core taken out to be checked. The dogleg tranny has been installed with a new M5 clutch and the 3.07 diff. While waiting for the head to be done I am having the rear diff mount welded and reinforced. I really thank good friends Terry and Don for all thier help and knowledge. Without them I am clueless. Its always nice to have E9 proffesionals by your side.

I stole your drive shaft....

Alvin,

Looks great even better in person! Once again thank you for the overdrive unit, and extra LSD... Seeing the car in various stages reminds me of my 65 Mustang Fastback resto Honey Gold on Black Std Interior 4spd 3.54 locker.
