It may get changed on down the road. I bought it from Walter complete so I wasn't really able to switch things up right off. I do have a stock harness and computer for it but If I go back to EFI it will probably be a Holley set up anyways.Quote:

If the only difference is efi, it will pick up slightly.

I have new brake lines to put on yet along with the North Race Car caliper brackets. Hope to get it put in this weekend and get it on the ground. Have UPR uppers and lowers with Team Z drag springs.

I ordered the NRC brackets for the 94/95 GT rear brakes. Also ordered the Moser axles for fox length with the brake register for the rotor. It looks like Im about a half inch short from getting the caliper bracket to line up with the rotor. They give you a spacer and some washers but I really need 2 of the spacers to make it close. Im sure its something Im doing wrong.
I've installed a bunch of them. My red rocket has them on the rear with cobra brakes.
I called them up yesterday and I talked to Richard for probably 20 minutes. Seems like a real good guy. He said I can space them out as far as I need and he has another set of the 1/4" spacers in the mail. Now just to find longer bolts.
Weird that its supposed to bolt up, but needs a bunch of spacers.
Still working on getting the rear end finished up and installed. I need to start running brake lines now.
Picked up the new master cylinder. Have to get it on along with the MM manual brake conversion. Then to figure out how to run the brakes lines, line lock, and proportioning valve and residual pressure valve. 2 port 94/95 master cylinder.

:D
You aren't kidding! Man Ive been busy as hell lately. Seems like as soon as I get one car fixed, Im moving on to another only to circle back and work on the others again. Cant get caught up!Quote:

That rear end looks great! I’m still in the hunt for a 8.8.
If I come across any, Ill let you know.
Rob does great work. If you need one done, he is the man!
Finished making the brake lines for the rear end. Have the brakes mounted now. Cut down the anti-moan brackets to work and have them ready to be welded back up. May try to get that done today and maybe get the rear end up under the car. Be nice to have it rolling soon.
Still have all the maximum motorsports manual brake kit and pedal kit to install and brake lines to run.
Making progress!
Very slowly!!!Quote:

Put the wheels on and set it back on the ground to see how it sets. Turned out pretty good!

Picked up another project... Like I needed it but its cool and Ive been looking to get another old rat rod.

Dang man that's cool!
May pull the 302 and the C4 out of the red car for it. Hope to be out driving it come spring. It wont need much. Just throw a bunch of junk together.Quote:

Started putting new carpet in yesterday. Once I get that done, I can start putting the interior back together.

Glad to see you back on this one Brian.
Hopefully it will be done before the end of the year. I don't have a lot left to do but waiting on parts sucks!Quote:
