Default The motor is in...

Stopped by the shop today to drop off the air pump eliminator and took some pictures of the motor. I CANNOT WAIT, the motor looks even better sitting in the car. Since we are eliminating the air pump we decided to run dual 3" exhaust with Magnaflow race mufflers. I wonder how that is gonna sound???

I will post new pictures once the motor is done, and when we get working on the rollbar next.

Dumb question, I know. What year is the steal blue beast. I was thinking 91. Was I right?
