I just got my Dart 363 short block back from the machine shop, so I’ll be putting it back together and getting my fox running again.

it’ll be getting an 84mm turbo and Holley EFI, I’m shooting for it to be finished over winter.

I won't be doing much of anything to the 2018 this winter. Maybe at most, I'll get a Clutch Tamer.

I'm focused on restoring the 89 convertible right now. I just picked up a Spintech 9000 catback to finish the exhaust. Next up is redoing some vacuum lines, new O2 sensors, MGW shifter, and repaint the hood/decklid.

Winter time = race time here.

I plan on fixing all of the bullshit GM engineered into the V as well.

Since no more race car, just relatively minor stuff to my DD FiST - radiator, intercooler, and rear camber plates.

not a car but my Jeep... getting everything done that I can before going full bore by next winter with 1 tons and hydro steering. Just ordered full aluminum belly skid and cross member, hi tuck exhaust. Probably pulling the trigger on a new long arm lift when the next sale hits.

My plans are mostly weight savings:

1.) MMR CF Tunnel.
2.) MMR CF Trunk Lid.
3.) CF Wing (Stock GT500 Style).
4.) Lightweight Rotors.
5.) Tillen CF Seats.
6.) Light Weight Windows Front/Rear.
7.) JPC Front/Rear Bumper Supports.
8.) Aluminum Exhaust.
9.) CF Stock Style Hood.
10.) Converter Tightened Up.

My plan is remove about 300 lbs.

4. What brand? Streetable I assume?

I have been looking at brakes as well.

Ever think about a tubular front end? RSM makes a street one for the S197 thats 63 pounds off the front. I have been eyeing that too..

FR500 wheels, Ford racing coils, BMR rear control arms in the garage waiting to be put on, if we ever see a weekend that hits 50 degrees.

hunting around for a used Procharger or Vortech kit...
