Thanks Guys....it really is a neat car.  You never see them anymore.  Almost makes the 87-88TC common place...which they are not.  Well not anymore anyways.

Once the snow is gone i will remove the starter.... replace with the proper one for the 157 tooth flexplate and bellhousing.
Also need to remove the 3.5" downpipe...just no room.  The 3" will support plenty of power.

So with a mild winter, maybe by the end of April it will be running....

Thanks,

Travis

Another 3.5 years have gone by...XR7 is still in my garage, does need a bath soon.

My best friend built a new 4 car and 1 10k lift polebarn here a couple of years ago.

The new plan is in September tow it there to finish this Cat up...been too  long.
