It seems very stable in a higher speed decreasing radius turn. I didn't even hear any tire squeal-yet.

Chuck, I feel for ya! When I made the move to KS from WI in 2004, I had to let go of my 80 Thunderbird. That was my first car, and I had fixed it up pretty well. It wasn't perfect, but looked quite nice. I had just gotten the mild build 302 (bored 0.020) with Holley Projection fuel injection in and was gradually working on a CAI and whatnot. Unfortuantely, there was no way for me to take it with to KS. Luckily, I sold it to a friend who basically is "storing" it for me. (I needed the cash at the time for my move since I was enemployed.) He's told me that he's basically keeping it for me and that at any time I want it back, I can re-buy it for what I sold it to him ($3500).
 
My friend does take it oout once in a while, and he recently cleaned it up nice and took a couple photos. I do miss it!
