Just found this thread & subscribed. I remember this beast when you drove it over here, and how shocked I was when you popped the hood! Did you get the comp springs installed yet?
Springs installed and theyre great! Seems to be a good match for the extra v6 weight.

How about posting some video, and of course, audio? I would like to hear that bad boy run!

I don’t know why exactly but this car reminds me of the Andy Cost (nomadtrash) car, Brucephalus. Wonder where it ended up.

Absolutely love that thing. When I first found out a week ago that was I was going to be getting one, I firsts thought about and S-10 or camaro engine and tranny (5 speed) swap. The more I have watched videos of the stock 2.0L revving, the less I have thought about that... and then I watched your video, haha
