Sounds pretty good. What are the overall plans for the car?
When in doubt, tach it out.

Thanks, I had planed to street and strip the car, it's tubbed with a 9" ford...but now with kids and all, I really would just like a nice driver car...So i'll beat on it for a year or two and then look for a gto or trans am driver...It's going to be a monster on the street :-)
