      Some 302 and 351W parts interchange.

      Justin (phayzer5) used that exact cam in his old 302 and it was a real good runner.

      Here's what it can do:

        hm, that TV cable geometry looks really bad. Its like bent downward. Yeah i know I'm a dash of cold water on any party.

        I like the seats tho, what are they out of? Looks almost like LSC seats, but not quite. Supercoupe perhaps?

          is it the tanish one your looking at ??? if it is that is the cruise control thing, the TV cable is right behind that, i just havent got the cruise control hooked up yet...and the seats are aftermarket, i found them in a lifted jeep at the junkyard for $45

              MGM's except the 90-91's have a different style of instrument cluster so the CVPI 140 speedo won't work, he'd need to replace the entire thing to have a 140 speedo.

                  might be done for now

                  ok, now i think we might be done unless dad finds something else to do, besides the cam in the near future. here's some current pics with the trim that dad cut to start and end with the side window. plus we got it pinstriped in silver which makes it stick out now.

                  let me know what cha think

                  enjoy

                      Looks pretty good; you done well. But it would look better with an '88-'91 front clip...

                        Looks Great! I love it!

                        Putting on a 88-91 front clip will only cheapen the looks of that beautiful beast.

                            +1 on the interior!

                            I have another dumb question ... how do you remove the coach lights? I was looking at my B-pillars from the inside and couldn't find any access to fasteners for the lights, so I'm guessing you have to carefully pry the lens out and access to junk is under there.

                              the lights are held on by 2 philip screws under the chrome caps at the end of the lights

                                Gotcha. Must be kind of like how the fender-mounted antenna base is attached (or was, in my case ). Slightly weird, but it works.
