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.

Got around to working in this the other day.  Got the interior back together and neutral start switch and back up lights wired up along with the shift indicator light.

Fancy air filter heat shield you got there.

Just out of curiosity how much of that B&M shifter case can you cut down? I like some of them but I don't want to put one in if I have to hack the console up.

Ended up doing a TBSS intake and 30lb injector swap. Also just finished doing an engine bay wire tuck.  Have a 92mm TB coming this week for it. It's almost done. X

Can't wait to take this thing out and hit the track
