Um, it is just a stock looking 84 GSL-SE on the outside



I was going to do a GT35/40, but then i had to pay taxes so now i think i am just going to go for a TO4E.. Looking for ~400RWHP.


The current rear end is a GSL-SE rear end /w a custom TII driveshaft.. That will be changed to a ford 9" eventually. I need to get it running 1st. I am using a haltech e6K to run everything.


This project has been pretty slow, i have not done much work lately due to money. But as soon as it gets nicer out side, i will have it running

Yeah, but i think i prefer the 9" cause the support and commoness of it.. Plus i can source them super cheap

I know the 9" is way overkill, but eventually i could see my self going bridgeport turbo or even 20B.. The 20B install we did in the FC was pretty easy.. so i have been considering it .

Yeah.. Pretty much any of them will need to be narrowed.. There are other good options besides the 8.8 to.. i think chevy 12bolts are about the same.. But i am not a huge domestic guy


The nice thing about the 9" is the pumpkin is more accessable.
