Good luck indeed. Dont do what I did and lose all the bolts to the timing chain cover.

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.

After you get that done, how bout putting some wheels on thing? Even 10-holes or turbines would be an improvement over spoke hubcaps!
