Go inside your photobucket. It seemed to me by the link you were copying the address bar. Click on a picture and when it shows up full sized, right click copy link location and then click the IMG little mountain thing.

The old car needs a little work,but all easy stuff.Good looking car.I have an '88 Sport and wish I had the full digi dash,but I don't want to do the conversion.What are your future plans for the car?There are a lot of mods that can be done for cheap,including the H.O upgrade.That's the best one you can do.If you're patient,and look around,you can gather everything for about $200.00 or so.Keep us posted on the car.These cars are what we do.

You defenately got yourself a good starting point. With just replacing what you are right now it's going to make a big difference!

Check out coolcats.net in the tech section.

I thought yours already had a 5.0.I wasn't paying close enough attention I suppose.

it is a 5.0. its not the h.o. still debating about it because i really got the car for the ride. figure id use it for cruising out on the highway. ive still got my stealth r/t for my toy.

Like they said, the tech section on cool cats tells you what you can do...

you can make that bird quite a sleeper, maybe even faster than your stealth (depending on which model).

The H.O conversion is super easy,and when I first did mine with the last engine,I got excellent gas mileage,and drivability was awesome.Just more power.

thanks for the info guys. this 5.0 thats in it only has 70,000 miles on it. so ill probably drive it for a while. this will give me time to track down a h.o. the search is on!

You CAN convert your 5.0 over to being a H.O. without too much work.

I don't think it can really be summed up any better then this, and I don't know how I could spell it out any better then to just go to this link. The internet is your friend.

Not every little thing to do is included here, but it is a very good writeup with alot of time and money spent into getting it right. If you get the parts and go through all the steps, but have any questions along the way, let us know.
