    I've been gone for a while, but I'm back from the dead. Some of you may remember my 83 Grand Prix true radial car. I had wife problems in 2008 and am just now getting back to the car. I was moving in with my girlfriend recently and discovered that I had an S475, Mexican 4 bolt block, a fresh set of ported 041's, crappy old torker intake, most of a 650DP, some shorty headers, and some leftovers from a turbo Monte Carlo that I parted out a couple of years ago, so I decided to put all this crap together to see how fast I can go with it ( and most likely oil down the track again.) I'll post pics and progress here for some cheap amusement. I hope you enjoy another flyinhillbilly smoke 'Em if you got 'em thread.

    Turbo SBC in a G-body? Why yes, I'll subscribe and watch and take notes. I like your crossover pipe but will it clear the crossmember?

    My grinder and welder says it will ;) I converted it to mustang 2 rack and pinion years ago, so the steering shaft is at a funky angle so headers have always been a P.I.T.A anyway. I'm also setting the engine back quite a bit, so that should help too.

    The O.G. Spare parts build. I talked some shit on the internet and got called out on it, so I threw this together in four days to back up my mouth. I was actually undefeated in Heads up true radial racing with this setup in 2007.

    Tore down my $75 engine. Got a cheap re ring kit and a newer more betterer cam on the way.everything pretty we'll looks good to go so I'm going to hit it with the hillbilly hot tank (pressure washer) and put it together.
