Hey All! Well my project is up and road reliable now, But now I'm ready to up the anty a bit. I'd like to know what set ups everyone is running. I'm running a 79 Glassback, with an 85 Turbo coupe motor, an 88 upper intake for hood clearance , LA3 ecm, lg vam and brown top injectors, an 87 TB T5 , Aerostar Alum. drive shaft with a 76 Pinto 8" rear with 3.40 open gears. I'm running the" I think" (tired) factory T3 turbo. I'm looking to go with a FMIC that will fit behind the 79 grille . Any suggestions. I saw somewhere on here that someone was running their vam and filter thru the fender for a cold intake away from the radator heat. I appreciate the help and hints, Thanks for the answers and suggestions. :)

Baby NPR,(just sold one)
Mitsi Evo 8( I have one of these)
Ebay stuff.

It going to be tight on a Pinto,I am
going A/W on the passenger rear floorboard,
passenger will have to deal with either
staddling the ic tubes or I might run
them next to the trans hump.
