Thanks, I love this car, never going to part ways with it like I did my first one. Gonna have to bury in this sucka! fingers crossed my mechanic comes through this weekend like he's said a million time already, and delivers the engine/trans fully built. That way i can put the top half of the engine back together and slide this sucker into the car. I still need to drop the gas tank, replace the fuel pump with a Supra TT one, clean out the tank and replace the fuel filter. So much to do, so little time with my work :twisted:

Boy I know this feeling. I fully restored a 90 ST185 (it's in the project thread) and it was gorgeous. I wasn't in a good place in life, so I sold it wayyy under price ($5500) in 2013. I ended up with my recent car by sheer tenacity and luck. I'll be buried in my ST185 as well lol.
As for the gas tank drop and the supra TT install - it's pretty easy to do. Check my project Lazarus thread, I did the exact same thing with the exact same fuel pump. I have a step by step guide for the most part if you're interested lol.

I ran E85 in my V6 camaro, I liked the smell and the extra 10RWHP the dyno showed was fun. I know it's going to be more hp than that with a turbo but outside of a SC or turbo the camaro couldn't get much past 300RWHP even with every bolt on there was unless you spent WAY too much for it.
