They're like frickin murals :haha:

That will be a pretty sweet car once you get all the little stuff straightened out. I would suggest you get rid of that TCI converter and get a quality unit from Yank or Vig, especially since the trans is already coming out.

My84Z 12-22-2010 10:29 PM

Josh i dunno where they are but i have extra air box clips around somewhere

Slowhawk 12-26-2010 03:41 AM

In the plans I would add -sell Performajunk tranny and converter. Add FLT or RPM tranny and Yank converter.

Bowtie Babe 12-28-2010 12:34 AM

Don: I think he needs that converter! :)

Just curious but whats so bad about TCI converters? I've used a few of them and have one in my car and no complaints. All have been good quality units.
