Thanks for all the positive feedback.

I'm in the San Jose area.

I'm hoping the front suspension will be finished this week, i'll definitely keep you guys posted on the progress. And yes, i definitely have some body work ahead to fit those wheels (which are being wrapped with Falken Azenis 615, 275 in the rear, 255 in the front) Ideally, i'll be doing some wicked but tasteful flares on it.

The wagon next to the excursion in the picture actually belongs to a buddy of mine in the seal beach area. As far as we know, there's only a couple dozen of these cars left in the country, if that many. I think i'm the only one crazy enough to cut one up though.

I'm not sure what sort of fuel mileage i'll be getting, but i'm hoping 30 isn't too unrealistic. The rear end is an LSD unit from a q45, 3.55:1 ratio. And according to the calculator, i'll be turning just under 1800 rpm at 75 mph.

I forgot to mention that im going carbed. Due to some issues with what was supposed to be included with the engine and what it arrived with, it was easier to go this route. Not to mention the fuel lines and all that. I might change that later down the road though. For now, i have a custom built 750 cfm with annular boosters, a custom ground cam from thunder racing, msd 6012 ignition, GMPP intake manifold,and hand built headers in the works.
