      Undercoating, rear control arm bushings and new shocks and springs. Needs new exhaust, and output shaft seal and probably bushing too.

        I like that RV mirror.

        The stock rear view mirror in my '80 Mark actually doesn't have those blotchy spots on it, and is totally clear. First one I have ever seen like that in any box. Usually they are pretty well fubar'd after 20 or so years.

              Sounds good, and the engine is nice and quiet. Are you still running 19#ers? Might be cutting it a little close on those. I never had that cam in an engine long enough to see what the A/F was.

                yeah its cutting it too close with a 19#. We took it for a drive with John's Quarterhorse on. It didn't go lean but duty cycle hit something like 88%. I expect that with a long blast it would just run out of injector. Its on the list, but the engine needed to be together before I was going to worry about tuning it. I probably will pick up a set of 24# at some point, along with the tuner. I also need to program in the right MAF transfer function. I have no clue how close a 94 Tbird MAF is to what an A9T expects, but thats what its got.

                          That is how you're supposed to jack it.

                              probably like me... doesn't like buying tires and still wants to be able to get to the tire shop with the old ones when new tires are needed... so burnouts are a no-no.

                              however, powerslides on snow and ice in mine are fair game... though I never have anyone filming that.
