more done! i havent rebuilt the 8.8 yet so i installed the ready to go 7.5 posi this weekend and lastnight got the npr mocked up with the radiator. the npr upper mounting holes lined up with the top mounting holes for the radiator. so i ran a bolt through both of them and used an old shock grommet to reduce vibration on the npr. had to trim the filler panel a litle but it shouldnt be noticable and after i give the npr a lite shot of black primer it should be hidden in plain sight.

Have you ran the car before and after on your blow through set up?
this whole setup was in my tbird before i started on the pinto. minus the new upper intake setup. at just 15 lbs it was stronger than a t3 at 22 lbs and way more fun!
good job on the intake :drunk:

its not quite road worthy yet, but with the help of Curtis, aka turbotoy, ( a million thanks ) we got it fired today. sounds decent for not being tuned yet. now just to tie up and dress up the rest of the harness, mount the fuel tank, and then add some floor sections this week, it should be ready for the meet> got my fingers crossed!
