I only have to add some gas and hook he battery up and it is time to set the timing!! BUT I had surgery today. I am not done with the interior as I have to install the new deck and stuff later. I plan on redoing the seats as well, maybe leather.

Thanks! I used a Hurst handle/plate kit with the Pro 5.0 shifter. I like the longer reach for my short arms with the Hurst but the Pro 5.0 is my favorite 5.0 shifter, never missed 3rd gear with one and they take a beating!

Very nice... what happened to the old engine and s/c?

The ProCharger had a seal go, which in turn caused the bearings to get ruined from the oil loss. I sold that SC on one of the forums. My cousin still owned the car then. So I had tuned it NA for awhile (8.5:1 with 42lbers LOL) until he could buy another SC. So then he got an S-Trim and I installed that on the car. When I bought it off him it had the 331 but with the S-Trim. I sold the S-Trim and 331 to another friend because I was going to build it up NA. I changed my mind multiple times and ended up getting another Vortech LOL. I bought an A-Trim kit with maybe 6,000 miles on it..sold the head unit..bought an S-Trim and then sent that out and got it upgraded to an Si-Trim before even using it.

If I could go back now I'd probably have kept the 331 and the S-Trim but at the time I had this 93 LX plus a 38k miles 88 GT, '00 Harley F150, and a Focus daily driver.
