9's with the trailer hooked to it would really be impressive.

question: car looks good but why the monte style exhaust?

 

[earcher1]

Pittsburgkid...this is a na to turbo conversion car in progress.I started with the body.for about one more day it is still a running v8 car.doing the swap this week/month.been getting ready for months.3 in A T R duals going on.

 

[earcher1]

The only thing in the 9's with that trailer on is my fuel mileage on my ram 3500 diesel dually.and that's on the highway.lol

That must have been Joe's car you saw at the track,and you will be more than a week doing that conversion,it is a lot of work,but I now have a 12k mile G/N,I am just waiting for my carpet to get here,then I can install the brand new interior.

That 9.80 T wouldn't happen to be Joe Derry's T now would it?

Glad to see all is going well with the build. Car looks sick!
