progress today....
3 inch ss exhaust almost off...man lots of clamps, but a sweet system. removing the downpipe required me to grind a socket wall really thin to get it on.
went to the parts store to look at replacement fuel connections, I think i know no how to remove.
Trans to bellhousing bolts...two were almost loose, two are really tight...so tight...have not gotten them loose yet!

Pinturbo75:
you dont need to narrow the tc rear, use a set of axles and brake drums from a mustang 7.5 or 8.8 and it narrows the rear enough to fit 15x8s with 255-60-15 tires.....
