Default 1981 Resto Mod

Well, I haven't posted in a while because i have been busy working on the car. After 8 months and countless man hours, we were able to fire the 427 for the first time. The motor is a forged internal 10.2:1 dart block 427 with aluminum Dart 230 heads. In person the thing sounded amazing with the OBX sidepipes. I cant wait to get the car on the road.

Some of the other work i did includes a built D&D T56 with mcleod street twin clutch, CCI 3" driveshaft, Tom's 3.73 differential with 31 spline upgrade, wilwood brakes, BeCool radiator with Electric Fan, Steeroids rack and pinion, March serpentine with A/C, and all the stuff you would normally do when pulling the body.

I need a few more things to get it on the road and if anyone has something laying around i would be more than happy to purchase it from you.
Parts/ information:
1. Stainless brake Line master cylinder to front proportioning valve w/PB
2. thread pitch for rear brake blocks (need to buy adapter fittings for braided lines)
3. power steering pressure line for rack and pinion to GM type 2 pump
