Mine bolted right up with no mods needed. Ive heard stories of peeps having to pound the flooring a lil to get clearance. Lucked out I guess.. I think it was $200 or so back then...

Thanks for looking fellas

Looks real good man!! That's one CLEAN engine bay!! Does your car have A/C on it? I seen the compressor, but the air box has been deleted. If you're not gonna put air back on it, you might as well delete the compressor and give you some more room for your intake setup, and delete alittle weight off the nose of that thing. Anyhow, great looking car!

Thanks!! Im gonna run a VINTAGE AIR setup. The lines will be custom bent and ran thru the wheel wells. DAKOTA DIGITAL makes a clean digi control unit for it the Vintage air Gen II System, and should flow with the other Digital gauges Im running. The unit tucks out of the way under the dash. All the factory hoses and stuff have been gutted. Cant wait to get it installed. I have a hvac/head unit swap kit from THEDETAILSS which will let me see the digi read out when I pop the head units screen out.. Thanks for checkin it out fellas!!

Re: 87 SS

Picked up a TA Performance rear girdle for my (new to me) Grand National rear end. Did a lil paining on it. I was gonna sand blast it and polish it up, but decided to just paint it....

Taped it off in the pattern I wanted to stay light silver

Cleaned up and sprayed with a high temp primer...

Let dry and sprayed with some high temp black...

Let sit and peeled tape away...

i want to drop the rear in, but was thinking i could do a disc brake conversion on it while its out of the car. Hmmm.... Picked up some Amsoil 75/90 and some Amsoil slip lock.

Thanks bruh! Got it up at a trans spot now. I hope my B&M 700 isn't burnt. If its fixable, I may just drop it in the Elco and go with a built 700 for the SS. I was looking thru my "box o Dakota Digital" parts, and found the speed sensor/sending unit. Really easy to hookup. The trans shop guy was scratching his head on why the rod shop just didnt hook it up. Really simple design. But oh well..... I should have some updates on the old guy here soon. Suspension rebuild/drop are next and then finish off the exhaust. Cant wait!!
