I've got a long list of to dos. For wheels I was thanking 16" ponys or 17" black cobra 190s. Im in the process of building a motor for it. I've got GT40 cylinder heads with screw in studs, Trick Flow valve springs and 1.7 rocker arms. My plans for the short block are Flat top pistons, ARP rod and main bolts, and eather a stock HO cam or a E303. I also plan on getting BBK headers, 2.5" H-pipe, 65mm TB, and a Mass air conversion if I run the E303. Ive also got an non-EGR GT40 lower I'm thinking about running but I need a GT40, Explorer, or Cobra upper.
