They are all made to ones engine spec/want/need rarely are 2 aliike.
They do sell some that are popular....
With the lack of hood clearance unless you got one hell of a motor under the hood that requires a custom sized runner imo a sheetmetal intake is a waste. A well ported mini/single plane will do the job just fine.
They are a "cool factor" thing to have for sure. One day Id like to fab one up somehow. On the wish list but probably never happen Im getting too lazy these days.

They said there's no request for it. (Though I've seen 4-5 people wishing for one since I installed mine in 2006. But, that's only 1/yr.)
There is one taller than this...by 1.25".

It is a six speed car. But I do drive it on the street, so I use a DOT tire like the MT ET streets. I have run a 1.46/60 with those tires. But I mainly need a street legal tire on the car.

How does the ZF hold up. Do you power-shift it? Was any work done to the trans?
Thanks,
Steve

Thanks!
It's a stock black tag ZF, and that thing has to be one of the strongest tranny's ever put in a car. It's been running in the 10's for 10 years with 900ft/lbs of torque going thru it (on the bottle), and it holds up fine. I have never done anything to it except change the oil in it every year.

I don't know what your definition of power shifting is. I shift fast as possible with the clutch, but not to the point of destroying the trans. It's not worth ruining the trans for that last .001 faster time. Driven correctly, these trans's will last a long time.

My 92 may be going into a local chassis shop for a solid axle conversion-waiting for the shop to be ready for it.
Seeing your car inspires me to get mine done!

Nice looking cars, now to upset the 35Th anniversary crowd. I have owned my 35Th for about 8 years now and it was due for some new paint. I put a new engine in and it need a hood. So i contacted Toledo pro. Here she is my 1988 35Th annirsary with Cyber grey paint.
