    Sorry I haven't been updating, I will have to take some pictures today. My shop got SWAMPED with work this last month so I have had zero time to work on the car.

    What motor mounts you end up using since you did away with the motor plates??

    Been a while since I've updated, and had a bit of a change of plans. Picked up a couple a few weeks back and have been thrashing getting the chassis finished up. Ended up doing all new PA Racing stuff up front with a 1.5" dropped pinto rack. I think this rack will give me the room to reduce the 5" dp to 4" and squeeze it between everything. Just had the NHRA chassis guy out Thursday to get the cage certified. I have the matching front wheels, but they are off getting polished. I finally got the motor mounts done last night! Hoping to hear it fire within two weeks. I have also decided to go the E85 route.

    I'll need to get some picutres updated here, but here are a few videos. This thing has been giving me nothing but problems! Its eating torque converters like a fat kid eats cake. I need to find the money to buy a REAL converter for it. Best ET to date is 9.01 best MPH is 155.5

    He threw a PT101 on it, ditched the intercooler, and won a local street-style event(28x10.5, stock suspension, unprepped track)...

    Here's a video from one of the more 'eventful' passes in that event:



    And an in-car shot:
