Hi Lee
Except for the oil pan issue. it sounds like you have TWO really cool halves! I miss my FMX, Transgo makes an excellent shift kit for them. I use a C-4 w/ the 460 now. What kind of suspension mods? I'm guessing towards something like a "Pro Touring" car? These cars have beautiful lines, there's really no limit to what can be done with them!
The six speed will be awesome to drive and I'm envious that you're having a frame blasted and starting fresh. Sounds like you have a good plan laid out.
If you haven't already been to the 385 series engine forum, check it out... there's an amazing amount of information there ( on head porting, cams, intakes etc. ). Hopefully I can get everything squared away this winter and be ready to get some street miles on the car before beating on it. The tires are 29 X 11.5 Quick Time Pro DOT's. They fit pretty decent and I'm hoping to get the car hooking well enough to get into the 11.90's and maybe start considering a 10 second trip once I'm sure the motor/chassis is good enough to handle spray. Dreaming from there, it's on to the Lenco, big tires and 4 link stuff. Glad to know you'll be keeping us updated on your progress, anywhere we can see photos of it?
