this one is after I took it back apart with my fingers (bolts were only hand tight ) I'm gonna redo everything and change a bunch of stuff.

Here I'm mocking up the new fuel system.....changing all the lines from front to back and putting the new SX filter right here to make it easier to change.

Greddy T88.....I'm gonna take it apart and polish the compressor side so it'll match the other stuff.

The engine will look much better here in a couple weeks after I get the rest of the stuff finished with grinding and sanding and doing all the mods. I'm changing alot of stuff around.....and i'm also polishing or chroming a few more things. I've got a few clean-up tricks up my sleeve that i'll have done also.

I haven't got the car running yet with the T88....it's never been close enough. I mean, soon as I got it back the 1st time I took it back apart.....then I just got it back again, now I'm gonna start all over and do all the stuff that I've wanted to do from the start. I'm not gonna make this season so I'm just going ***** out now! Dogbox.....all new custom suspension.....body reinforcements....the works!!!!!

I'm not even bringing it to a race unless it's running low 10's....then with a little tuning and driving i'm gunning for low to mid 9's.

I'll agree with that. I just finished polishing my Intake and it was a total piece of ***.

I've got about 4hrs. into mine right now but that's with a bunch of grinding and welding. If you have the right tools but haven't really done it before then look to spend at least 4-5hrs on it. I'm extremely picky so i'm doing alot of different stuff that most people wouldn't do because you'll never see it....but I know it's there.

Jeesh! I just got done ordering a bunch of Earl's fittings and fuel line and all kinds of really odd ball things i don't really need but had to have and OUCHY! Can we say $500.....and that's my price.....it would be about $750 if i just called up out of the blue. Another $150 in 6061 alum. u-bends and piping It's gonna be worth it! It just makes me wanna go down stairs and start working on it again.....must sleep....can't even think.....sleep good!
