ITS RUNNING! 2 2/1 years later w/pix
Well guys, After 2 1/2 years of collecting used parts and wheeli'n & deal'n for the rest, I FINALLY got it together. I got it running Monday night & It moved under its own power Thursday. Here are a few pix to show you what I've been working on for the last few years.

Thanks to all you Stage II guys for info, used parts & any ideas/help you assisted me with.

Wheels are 15 x 10 w/5 backspacing. Tires are 325x50x15. Frame rail is notched.

The intake started out as a Edelbrock Tunnelram off-center intake. I had it converted to fuel injection then had a custom C&C top made for it. One of a kind. (for now)

Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Few questions if you don't mind, in your signature you are stating that you have stage II heads, I also see the AC and the heater box. Can you please share how difficult this was to accomplish? What were the modifications? Do you also have pics of the down pipe setup. How hard is to get to the plugs with the turbo and the DP in the way? I am trying to accomplish something very similar.

Thanks
Prasad

To keep the A/C using the Stage II Heads I had to use a 1 row heater core and use the old ATR plate to modifie the heater box. (I think Billy Anderson is making those again) I'm gonna make new A/C lines to get away from the turbo.
Spark plugs are pretty easy compared to the old ATR set up. You have to do them through the fender well.(tire can stay on) Spark plug boots are a little hard though. I haven't changed the plugs hot yet. Don't know if I want to try.
