Thanks.

Running a close ratio T-56 Magnum mated to a 9" floater rear end with 3.89 gears.

We have similar taste...check this out: http://www.pro-touring.com/threads/1...rack-car-build

I have DSE subframe connectors and a Alston 8-point cage with solid body mounts. I have about 150 miles on the car so far. Shaking it down before paint...69 Trans Am scheme. Its extremely loud and fast. I think I'm just gonna fab up some aluminum door panels and a rear seat delete. Not gonna put windows in it to save weight and hassel. It will never see rain anyway!

It's been awhile since I came across your build thread! I'll have to check out your updates. Maybe it will help on a few other things I'm thinking about.

No I don't have a build thread. When this started out 3 years ago, I picked up this firebird for $2800 and figured I could get the stock motor running and have a fun driver, and then figure out what upgrades I could make. Well from there, it has morphed into this! haha Now its a full on build and much more than I imagined when I bought it for a fun bday present to myself. Never imagined it would be worthy of a pro-touring build thread.
