Its been a while since i've updated this. I'm going to move the car into a new direction. Less "race" more "street". I want to use the car more with my family and the roll cage / no A/C and no rear seat don't help with that. I also need to do routine maintenance to the 409 and when adding the upgrades i wanted to do i came to the why bother scenario. SO.......Here is the plan.
SpeedTech Pro Touring subframe SpeedTech LS Swap Components (Mounts, T56 Tunnel, Clutch, Oil Pan, Headers) PSI Harness Vintage Air DSE Subframe connectors and firewall fill plate AAW Classic Update Griffin LS Radiator Afco Heat Exchanger RestoMod tank Duel Pump with corner pickups Clean and paint misc small parts under the hood Oh and of course LS swap. First Purchase is in LSA http://i63.tinypic.com/jijio4.jpg |
Sweet upgrades!! All the race car you want with the manners of a Sunday school teacher. Nice!

Part of the project was to create more room in the Garage. I have a fairly wide 2 car that is under the house. It is insulated and has easy access to the 200 amp panel. Some minor upgrades to the garage space are 100amp sub panel, 240v heater, and Pushing my 8' wide bench back 40". This makes the bench recessed into the basement more.
