Here is my project, a 1992 25th aniversary RS. i bought this in Jan. '09. it pretty much sat in the back yard until march when i finally got around to working on it. i never could get the 350 to run right so i ended up just pullin it out and sellin it in april. turns out whoever had it before me put the wrong size bearings in it and ate the crank up completely.. In may i located a 400 smallblock to put in it. and only thing i have changed is intake and carburetor so far. this winter i plan on completely gutting and rebuilding the car the way i want it.. more updates as i do stuff or think of more specifics of what i want.
scrapped the subframe connectors.. gonna go with a Ed Quay rear frame rail with 4link suspension and Strange engineering Rear end. check em out at www.EdQuay.com
and possibly gonna put a TPI setup back on this 400Ci when it gets to the rebuild process
*** coming soon ***
Panhard relocation with UMI performance panhard rods ( so i can fit true duals over the rear end)
** coming soon ** 20" IROC replica rims
UMI performance torque arm with loop for tail shaft
new springs,struts,shocks all the way around..
new K member and a-arms, bigger sway bars etc
its just a time and $$ thing right now
