Here are some engine shots. It's got a few upgrades... 75mm Throttle Body, BBK Cold air intake and plenum and filter. Also, added a BBK fuel pressure regulator\guage.

Just put in exhaust... it's 2.5" true dual going through an X-Pipe and to 2 Flowmaster Super 40 mufflers.

The wheels are 17" Cobra R Replicas's by Eagle Alloys wrapped in Yokohama 245-40-17 Front and 275-45-17 Rear. The brakes are off a Mustang Cobra. 13" Front and 11.65 Rear Cadmium plated rotors. It's also lowered with Tokico springs\struts.

Here's a before\after pic of the rotors.

I started out with regular steel rotors, but they rusted out quickly so changed to the plated ones.

***Updated Engine Pics.... recently installed polished aluminum intake manifold. looks good, feels good, it's the all around package.
