UPDATE:  Over the weekend, dad and I spotted loads of good deals on HO parts this weekend on ebay, and we've REALLY narrowed the list down.  Here's what we've won so far:

HO upper intake
HO Throttle body/EGR Plate & spacer (came with a k&n filter too)
HO 5-speed computer
HO camshaft
19lb injectors
Mustang Shortie headers (not required for conversion, but wont hurt :evilgrin: )

So now all that's left for us to get are the heads, which we're going to pick up from a local junkyard, and the MAP sensor, which we'll buy new from an auto parts store.

When all this stuff arrives, I'll be cleaning it all up and getting it all ready, so I'll update you all on the progress.  Unfortunately, it will still be a few weeks before the Chevelle done so this will be held back a bit, but that just gives me more time to prepare everything.  I can't wait!

Wow nice!  That is the EXACT hood stripe idea we have for my TC hood.  Anyways, have fun with it!

One of my biggest pet peeves about my Tbird was the broken tailight. 



Last summer, a hornet even crawled in there and died in my tailight.  Moron.  Anyways, it has finally been replaced!
