It will be quite another evolution going from pro-street, to a really stellar track car. Lots of little tweaks on the suspension. An alumiunm 427 blockk would help with the weight on the front end ;-)

Take your time and get that motor right. And yes every FE lover needs a Pond block.

Maybe top it off with this.

Welcome to the site Doug. Sorry to hear of your engine woes but I'm glad to hear your having a little more fun with the car.
Keep plugging brother.

I was on vacation for 1 week.
When I got back, I decided to try and fix the front forks on my old mountain bike. That was a mistake. The front forks collapsed while I was riding at about 3-4mph, and I ended up doing a sideways face plant on the asphalt.



20 stitches later, I was back from the emerg with wounded pride and blood to clean up everywhere. It actually looks nastier today, with all the swelling around the eye and gunky looking road rash.

But on the car front, I could not wait, even though I am pretty sore everywhere from the bike incident.

Got the car jacked up and started pulling the exhaust and drivetrain.
Maybe tomorrow, I'll start prepping the engine for pull out, depending how I feel.



oh yeah, I'm never going to try and fix stupid bikes ever again!

Yes, it's very true. Besides all the bashed knuckles, my wallet keeps bleeding too!
