RPM transmissions is building a trans and gathering parts for the conversion.
Yank has the converter on the way
American Racing Headers has already delivered the headers
I'm waiting on some fuel system parts so I can put the left tank back in the car too.
Interior is out so I can put a 8.50 certed cage in it.
The nose is off so I can more easily work on blower plumbing and intercooler mounting.
Rodney at RPM has been crazy helpful so far in trying to get this thing together.. Thanks Rodney!!!

It seems as though I am always waiting on something to get shipped to me that is holding me up on other fronts.
