LOVE the suspension.....did you do it yourself or did you have someone do it?  If you did it yourself, how hard was it?

Awesome pics man, great looking car!

Nice looking suspension. Let us know how it rides, steers and handles when you get it all done.

Was T/A clone convertible with 340 6pak went 40 miles fully restored til engine came apart.

T/A hood is at the body shop for paint, the vinyl stripes have been peeled off, left the T/A and 340 vinyl for now

Put the Billet air cleaner on it for now but bought the fiberglass air cleaner assembly for somebody in TX

We are still about 2 months away from starting it unfortunately.

The conversion, like previously stated took less than 16 hours by my mechanic, helper and myself.

Really easy.  The Indy Maxx Aluminum Block is a fantastic race block but needs 2 much modification with the Stage V heads, TTi headers are 2 close, needed to move power brake booster, Flaming River Tilt Column ( i love) has Double D shaft with u-joints to power rack again mod needed for header issue,

The Alterktion kit uses B-body mounts which again cause problems with the Main Bearing Cross Bolts (in pics) the Indy Maxx Block has the widest bottom again problems with the headers. 

I discussed all of these issues with TTi, Indy and Bill Reilly today - the problem is the block but all mods will eventually be resolved.

I am having a custom console built with hidden stereo since car was originally column shift, rest of interior will remain stock.

I am working on all pics from beginning to now for Restoration Topic soon.

Thanx for all the compliments - like I said previously - I spared no expense since this car is a dream car keeper

If I ever sold I can only hope to recoup my costs - I really like the US Tool subframe connectors as these will be needed for the 700 hp.

Sweet ride!  I'm hoping my ride will have all those goodies someday.

Two questions:

1)  What model oil pan is that?

2) WHy'd you go w/an 833?  I woulda thought after spending all that coin and effort converting to a four-speed, you'd go Keisler 5-speed.
