Hope your buddies thought it was all worth it.Was also able to get some subframe connectors bent up and installed. Based them off of the Global West versions, they may be a bit shorter because of moving my trans brackets rearward. Quote Selected

Cool write up on your buddies car, I remember seeing it when doing some research into the swap. I am however going to try to be satisfied with the 400 hp from the factory. For a while anyway.

How is the cluster coming?Thanks, I think so too. Not sure about the cluster. Talked to my buddy tonight and it didn't come up and I didn't ask. He's about 3 hours away and I have not seen it for a while, he has some good ideas, so I will leave it up to him. Don't need it for some time, can get it running using the mentor to watch the vitals.

My 85 TBird Reply #43 – January 14, 2013, 08:51:12 PM QuoteWhat was the cost of the Just Dashes service?They quoted me $750.00 over the phone. When they get the dash they said they will contact me with the actual price, but that it should be as quoted. It is much more than I want to pay,(I don't think I paid that much for the whole car back in 1994) but for what I am putting into the rest of the car I am not going to look at a dash cap, cover, or cracks. I will post some before and after photos when I get it back. QuoteDrewstang Nice work so far, keep it up and get this thing done. I have high hopes of driving it this summer. It comes down to funding and ambition. Back when I had all kinds of ambition, I didn't have the funding. Now that funds are not so hard to come up with, I have half the ambition, I am not sure where, or when I lost it, but if anybody runs across it let me know. Quote Selected
