Sweet. Couldn't really hear the engine though. I was curious what it would sound like with glass packs. Might just be my phone speaker sucking though.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

Have you thought about a Locker rear end? Nice video for the car. Anything planned for the future with the car? I would have to say, the exhaust sounds like it's either got a bad leak, or needs tails. Not sure which one.

Yeah it wasn't too loud at that point. With the car's current condition, I think this is going to be the last summer for her like this. The engine leaks oil pretty bad from the front main/oil pan area, and the transmission is hating me lately. Future plans include a new engine, shooting for a 351c, a rebuilt manual transmission, and a 9 inch locking diff, if I'm feeling lucky. It'll be a while before she sees the light of day, but totally worth it I think.

why a nine inch? how much power are you planning on making?  I doubt it will be enough to require the time, money and weight involved in going with a 9 over an 8.8.
