It's a proven platform, and about as cheap as they get. Since I'm poor it suits me just fine.

BBF or bust.

I bought a "used" tubular k-member, said it was for a modular fox conversion, kind of looks like sbf motor mounts to me.

Hoping at this point to do modular motor but I'm not at all against stroked windsor.

Either way its going to be a big(ish) single turbo setup. No less than 76mm. If I do go windsor it'd be safe to say 88mm or so.

Anywho... Here some "progress" pics.







About 95% rust free, not bad for 20 year old michigan beater. That last pic is seriously the only real spot I have to deal with. Other than the 15,000 dents that is. I do have 80% of the interior. We'll get to that down the road.
